Field Research week 3

This week, I observed another board meeting of the Volunteer Service Board. It was basically the same as the first one I observed, which was nice. I saw the same kinds of behavior and organization this time as the first time, which shows that this group has a pretty solid foundation of rituals. They again discussed the events of the week, and delegated tasks to be completed throughout the course of the week. They were very open with each other, and were also really positive; which reinforced my observations from the first week. Each person had something to say, showing that each position is important. Another thing I noticed this week was how respectful the group members were of each other. They all paid attention when someone was talking, and they never degraded or made fun of each other. They all seem to be very kind-spirited people.
