Masako wants to learn how to build consensus.She is a strict school teacher.On the other hand,Satoko thinks that we should gather every opinions.She is a student of the English department.
Malcolm thinks that any discussion which no one has strong opinion is waste of time.He is an exchange student from New York and he is a student of the literature.
Jun is a student of the English literature.She is a sophomore.
There are two way of thinking.At first,good discussion has achievement of consensus without insisting our opinion.
Next,we need audience voice in the discussion in spite of the weak opinions.
We think we need both learn about how to achieve consensus and express our own opinion.In addition,we have to speak about question's reason based on resources so no matter how good moderator's skills are.
Then,how do we achieve consensus with opinions?For such occasions,you should have a gole of discusion and know why we discuss.
By doing this,we come up with best answer in the ordinary course of things.The best answer means consensus here.
Next,we discussed how to achieve consensus.Saying good opinion is duty for associate participant in the discussion.
Masako said to us that all members in the discussion should say their opinion and they should not change their opinion or decision by majority.
We think most of the associate participant in the discussion is shy,have not confident and do not play their role in the discussion.In addition,we all should have new way of thinking.
And another thing,we should recognize limited time.
Next,we talked about audience voice.All audiences have to express their opinion more.
Satoko said that she cannot have confidence in the topic.
Malcolm said that he does not know why people hesitate to express their own opinion because there are a lot of good opinion in their mind.
In addition,he thinks that audiences need more opinion to support their ideas.
June thinks that she turns in on herself so she want to be an active speaker.
Masako thinks that they all get point.
How about a point system?If you do not speak in the discussion,you lose point.However,in this system,we do not know why students express their opinion.Students are inposed by a teacher.The point system is nothing---childish way.There is no benefit and challenge.So we have to come up with the idea of how to make audiences active not by force.In addition,both introvert and outgoing person get points in the discussion.
After all,we think that all students should be evaluated by their participation.Every student should demonstrate their ability.
1.We should recognize limited time and strong opinion.
2.Every student should try to voice in the discussion.

Spam Filtering
You are the network administrator for a rather large company.You have a young family and need your job to support them.As part of your responsibility as a network administrator is to monitor the emails for the organization.Usually this just means occasionally allow through emails for staff members that have been accidentally blocked by the spam filters.
One day you get a helpdesk request from a staff member asking for an email to get released.Normally it is standard procedure except this time the request has come from the wife of a very good friend of yours.You recognize the name on the helpdesk request so quickly attend to the problem.As part of the procedure you need to manually open up the email to ensure that it is not spam,so you do and you discover that in certainly is not spam.You find that it is actually an email to your friends wife from her lover.You scan the rest of the contents of the email and there is no doubt that she has been having an affair for the some time now.
You release the email,but you can not decide what to do.You are initial reaction is to call your friend up and tell him about the email,however you quickly realize that company policy is very strict about revealing the contents of confidential emails of staff members regardless of the contents and unless someone's life is in immediate danger,under no circumstances are you permitted to reveal the information.
In any case you know that revealing this information presents great risk,because even if you do not do it directly,there is a good chance that the dots will be joined somewhere along the line and you will be found out.However you feel that by not telling you friend that you are aiding his wife get away with adultery and this troubles you greatly.
What do you do?

In our group,no one is going to tell one's friend because company policy is very strict about revealing the contents of confidential emails of staff members regardless of the contents,I have a young family and I need my job to support my family members.
However,I feel that by not telling me that I am aiding his wife get away with adultery and this troubles me greatly.My group member expressed her view that it is natural for husband and wife to be romantically involved with another person.I think that this view is extreme but I sympathize with her way of thinking. She thinks that husband and wife have to get through a crisis of the extramarital love affair.In addition,there is an opinion of blame-the-victim-mentality.
I think that there is no advantage of telling him about his wife's adultery because I wouldn't be surprised if I ruined someone's happy family life.In addition,I know that in any case her husband will know that.But if I know my friend's steady's infidelity,I may want to tell my friend so in this case I inform him in a nice way that his wife is unfaithful to him.However,there is an opinion in my group that if I tell him or her in that manner,he or she is confused to a much greater.Were I in my friend's place,I do not know what to do when I hear that.So I have not decided yet.Just give me a little more time and I also think that whether I tell my friend or not depends on circumstances that time.
