Pre- meeting notes
I am currently sitting in the library as I wait to meet with my group. My BUS 367 class was scheduled in the library room 242, as we began to scratch the service of the many database we all have at our finger tips. Being that Sanjiv recommended that we meet in a more social setting, I suggested our group meet in the emporium, however I was very pleased Kristen suggested meeting in the library, meaning I wouldn’t have to leave for our meeting at all. Since my class is out early, I was able to reserve us a study room, giving us the privacy and free to open up when we finally meet.
I am well acquainted with one of my group members, Adel. I know going into this meeting, will be fairly comfortable from that fact alone. I have never met Kristen, but I feel it's a great opportunity to learn about her.
Post Meeting Notes
We just finished our meeting. Because I was the one to get the room, I was there first, followed by Kristen and then Adel. Conversations flowed effortlessly. We discussed our days ahead and what we had planned. Before the meeting began, I was alerted of an esthetician who has raffling off some of her services. In a light hearted manner, I brought up my excitement to my group. We quickly acquainted ourselves by following one another on Instagram. Our meeting lasted about 30-40 minutes. Towards the end of the meeting, I began to get anxious, as I received a text from my mom that my new phone had be delivered.
Flowed; excitement
Light hearted; effortlessly
Acquainted; Anxious
Flowed: Move along or out steadily and continuously. Glide, drift, proceed
Excitement: feeling of great enthusiasm and eagerness. Exhilaration, elation, animation
Light Hearted: amusing and entertaining. Gentle, easygoing, playful
Effortlessly: manner requiring no physical or mental exertion
Acquainted: make someone aware of or familiar with. Familiarize accustom to
Anxious: experiencing worry, unease or nervousness. Worried, concerned, troubled
Expressiveness flowed, as excitement was directed.
After a few brief moments of the polished introductions, I quickly discovered how interesting this assignment truly was. When you realize you're being graded on simply being your authentic self, the energy in our meeting rose.
The lighthearted experience enlightenment effortlessly.
Walking into our meeting, I was very focused on the logistics of this assignment. Once I became present in the moment, the true reason behind this assignment became clear. I felt very comfortable with my group, and feel I may be less hesitant to give my authentic opinion when responding to their fishbowl reflections.
The obsession with becoming acquainted leads to an anxious mind.
I think our generation, especially the young adults who are looking to start their professional careers could benefit from bringing their authentic selves to create relationships. If you focus too much on the outcome and how others perceive you, you will be left with a restless mind.

Re: Social Interaction Assignment
BUS 345: Business in Society
Professor Sanjiv Dugal
29 October 2019
Understanding Integrated Networking Structures through the Fishbowl
1. Opening Structure
Integrated Networking Structure
2. Word Pool:
Integrated – Designated, unified, consolidated, fused, mutually dependent, cohesive
Networking – meet, connect, learn about others, socialize
Structure –building, shape, construction, form, foundation
3. Re-Structure
I enjoy the process of meeting others and digging beyond the surface level about them.
4. Felt Experience
I have a friend that from the very first moment I met her, we were able to discuss the reality of life that gets brushed aside when one asks you, "how's it going?" for some reason, we both felt the comfort of being able to skip the lazy "it's going" response and open up. This was a unique relationship that I quickly began to value. These conversations are refreshing in a world of "I'm doing fines".
5. 1/2/3 : 1/2/3 : 1/2/3
Authentic
6. A/B
Authentic - Reality
7. Word Pool
Authentic: genuine, bona fide, rightful, real, original, veritable
Reality: Actuality, Real, sustainable, existence
8. Joint Structure
Living in your truth, will create a life of actuality.
9. Fe Felt Experience
Aligning my actions with my genuine interests and values, I was able to build my character which manifested the life I am proud of. This was one of my biggest lessons in college. Learning to move with purpose from a peaceful and consistent place has changed my point of view and accessibility to more amazing opportunities.
10. 1/2/3 : 1/2/3 : 1/2/3
Reflective
11. Insight and Realization
This assignment was very interesting. Looking at the progression in the vocab and the new meaning that derived through each reflection point was insightful. I am interested in seeing how others mindsets may have derived a different interpretation after walking through the 10+1 steps. My journey and current outlook have a clear impact on the direction I brought this in.

Re: Social Interaction Assignment
Complex Adaptive System
Kristen Kertanis, Quasia Logan, Adel Lopes
Step1: Complex Adaptive System
Kristen
Complex: composed of many interconnected parts
Adaptive: serving or able to adapt; showing or contributing to adaptation
System: an assemblage or combination of things or parts forming a complex whole
Quasia
Complex: Abstract and multifaceted
Adaptive: Ever changing to succeed in environment
System: Efficient routine to create overall progress
Adel
Complex: consisting of many different and connected parts:
Adaptive: characterized by or given to adaptation
System: a set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network
Step 2: Word Pool
Kristen
Complex: elaborate, intricate, complicated, tangled, detailed, extravagant, involved
Adaptive: flexible, adjustable, pliable, elastice, malleable, reactive
System: structure, organization, method, process, network, group, operation
Quasia
Complex: compound, multiplex, intricate
Adaptive: adjustable, alterable, changeable, elastic, flexible, fluid, malleable, modifiable, pliable, variable
System: structure, organization, arrangement, order
Adel
Complex: multiple, compound, elaborate
Adaptive: modifying, flexible, elastic
System: Method, process, technique
Step 3: Restructuring
Kristen
Complex Adaptive System —> Complicated Reactive Structure
Complex: Complicated- “Society is a complicated place”
Adaptive: Reactive- “We must be reactive in our society, to gain a better understanding”
System: Structure- “To properly function as an organization there must be structure”
Quasia
Complex Adaptive System —-> Intricate and alterable process
Complex: Intricate- cohesions of diverse concepts makes for an intricate whole
Adaptive: Elastic- a society’s elasticity refers to its ability to experience change and return a stability.
System: Order- Majority accepted way of doing something
Adel
Complex: Compound > The human body is made up of a compound of neurons.
Adaptive: Elastic > Extroverts are very elastic in public environments.
System: Method > Vocalists use a downward doll method in order to use their breath properly while singing.
Step 4: Felt Experience
Kristen- My felt experience in relation to this concept is revolved around the complexity of our society. When you think of society it's hard to understand the depth of it. People assign society to a brief definition that is not intricate or cohesive. I used to think society was just a term to categorize a group of people or community but it’s much more than that. Through these assignments I have gathered that society is a complex adaptive system and an integrated networking structure as well as many other definitions.
Quasia- Complex Adaptive System —-> My felt experience in relation to this concept is sparked by the idea of adaptation. When I think of adaptation on a personal level, I do not view it as much like a change of doing something I already do, but instead of overall growth in efficiency. For some reason, the idea of adaptations resonates more with me when I think of how individuals within a society alter their behaviors to fit in with the order of the whole. When reflecting, what I try to do in the name of growth is in fact adapting, it just I don't think to view it that way unless I’m comparing it to the whole.
Adel- My felt experience in regards to this concept reminded me of the idea of music. When I think of music, I do not think of the flow of music notes and rhythm. Although it brings the concept together, music is more than just music notes. Every piece of music that we hear has a story behind it. Whether we are listening to a master piece by Franz Schubert or simple lyrics by Green Day, although they are both in the same family of rhythm, they both tell two different narratives.
Step 5: 1/2/3 : 1/2/3 : 1/2/3
Kristen:
Myself- Depth
Quasia- Efficiency
Adel- Detail
Quasia:
Kristen- Community
Myself- Progression
Adel- Longevity
Adel: Involve
Kristen- Complexity
Quasia- Growth
Myself- Flow
Step 6: A/B
Depth/Progression
Efficiency/Community
Longevity/Flow
Detail/ Growth
Step 7: Word Pool
Depth: intensity, base, measure, sharpness, capacity, boundary, importance
Progression: advance, improvement, development, order, growth, evolution
Detail: Describe, Intricate, Precise, Exact, Accurate, Comprehensive
Growth: Prosper, Evolution, Advance, Expand, Production
Step 8: Structure
The DEVELOPMENT of my learning and understanding has no BOUNDARY
If you want to EXPAND on the concept of music, you must DESCRIBE the embodiment of what it entails.
An individual’s values directly relate to their idea of EVOLUTION. People will improve in the areas they deem IMPORTANT
Step 9: Felt Experience
Kristen: College is a time where you are thrown into different tests without an understanding of how to complete them, but the goal is to learn from the outcomes. These outcomes are there to help with the DEVELOPMENT of your life, which has no BOUNDARY so it is a never ending cycle of failing and learning.
Quasia: Living in a time where people are constantly stimulated, multitasking and distracted, surface level ADVANCEMENT is quite common. When time is on the opposing side, precise intentions of DEVELOPMENT are beneficial.
Adel: Life is not as PRECISE as some people think. In order to PROSPER, it is evident that you go through trials and tribulations to get to where you want to be. The PRODUCTION of one's life is merely a sketch on a piece of paper. Whether you believe it or not, your next move is an indication of how the next couple of steps later on will play out. Through different stages of your life, you may believe that it was/is ACCURATE to where you may end up. This means that there were a couple of distinct places you wanted to be or people you wanted to become. For example, when you were 5 you wanted to be a dancer. This meant that for a couple of years you did everything in your power to become a dancer. At the age of 10 all of that may have changed and you now wanted to be a doctor. For the next couple of years you set life goals in relation to how a doctor lives. At the age of 16 you changed your mind and did not know what you wanted in life. This means that at that age, and possibly the next couple of years, you explored yourself and what you can achieve. Whether it be COMPREHENSIVE to what you believed in the past, or simply living into the future of enigma, you created a door to endless possibilities. The point of all of this is for people to understand that their EVOLUTION is boundless. It will never be EXACT as the person next to them but it will also not be INTRICATE to create. Once you have found out who you are, you will be able to do anything.
Step 10: 1/2/3 : 1/2/3 : 1/2/3
Quasia:
Kristen- Outcomes
Myself- Purpose
Adel- adaptation
Step 11: Final Paragraph
This assignment for me, was an eyeopener regarding how I view progression. Being that I am very involved in school, but also in my personal life, I realize that I rely on deadline and timeframes for the mindless day to day progression. When it comes to my self development, which is something I place a lot of value on, I go out of my way to make time for.
