Are any behaviors from Survivor represent on your team?

The team building is more of the positive aspects of the show but there aren’t really any of the negative aspects.

Page 10: Survivor final group project

Destructive behaviors that undermined someone’s ability to

become relevant: Blatant or Subtle

Jokes: both blatant and subtle. Uses humor to distract what the person is saying.

Not hearing/overruling/not listening to people: Subtle if pretending not to hear the person. Blatant if you tell the person to shut up.

“Not the one bitchin”: Blatant. Directly tells the group that the person is being detrimental to the group.

Page 12: Survivor final group project

Behaviors determining Relevance: Blatant or Subtle cont.

People overworking: Subtle. This puts others off that they think they are better than the rest of the group

Making the negatives of people pointed out for the reason they need to go home: Blatant, directly insinuating they won’t be relevant.

Alliances: Subtle, people group up to not allow others to succeed.

Voting person off: Blatant, it is part of the game, but shows the person is not a true survivor

Misleading people Utilitarianism: Misleading people is

normal if the greater good is achieved.• The ends justify the means.

Kant: Ethical stance that the way a person gets to the end decision is important and universal truths.• If everyone misleads each other it causes deceit,

chaos, and distrust.• If everyone tells the truth and works together

toward common goal it creates bond and an utopian society.

Is it more important to tell the truth bluntly or be sensitive and still truthful?

It is always better to be sensitive and still truthful rather than being blunt.

Being blunt can make people become defensive and can break the relationships in a team.

Politeness, even if criticizing, provides higher chances to get a good outcome/ solution to a problem.

Page 17: Survivor final group project

Have you witnessed any of these behaviors in life?

One person of a team did someone else's part of the project to be “nice” without being asked to. The other person had nothing left to do for the project and received a C based on team rating.

In one of my classes during a team project, one team member out of 4 showed up with his own project because he did not blended into the group.

Page 18: Survivor final group project

Is it always best to tell the truth and nothing but the truth even if it hurts someone?

It depends on the situation and the truth. If someone will be hurt a lie is better. If the truth is constructive criticism, than

truth is better. In our case study, as long as the truth

does not hurt you and hurts someone else is perfectly fine as long as you do not get caught, if you do you will be voted off.

Ethics versus money, or truth versus being voted off.

What did you learn from this project?

The best one does not always win. Don’t trust anyone. Watch your back. Sweet talk bring more advantages. You have to decide if money or ethics

are more important to you.
