This was an optional meeting to discuss the paper for the Survivor project. Some people had committed obligations (work, weddings, ect). Nate & myself discussed part 2 of the assignment.

We started to discuss Maslow's theory of interpersonal needs and how it affects the tribe members. We agreed that the Fang tribe wasn't meeting the theory. They were not able to get past the first, most basic physiological need. Afterwards, I thought it was a good idea to put in the paper what Maslow's theory actually is. We thought it was a good idea to include that in the introduction of the paper.

I talked about how the theory affected Kota. Nate thought that "applying the theory to the Kota tribe we can see that they have satisfied many of their needs".

While Nate was working on that statement, I was working on the introduction of the paper. I worked on the groupthink section. I thought groupthink was happening with the Fang tribe. They had more conflict with that tribe, were attempting to finish the challenges as quickly as possible.

Because of a prior commitment, I had to leave at this point. We got through part 2, even when we thought we would at the very least start it.

All we did for this meeting was discuss Survivor. Not once did we change the subject for any reason. We waited until the very end to get the last minute announcements for the group.
