They didn't care to listen to any ideas that I had, and were externally uninterested in my point that there would be no food in the midwest for the cattle to eat once we got there. This was a project that there were “no wrong or right answers”, but the answers at least had to make sense. If I was tearing holes in our own arguments there was obviously a problem. After a week of debating them daily over their ideas, they finally realized that some just didn't add up like it did in their heads. At that point we decided to be more considerate of each others opinions and ideas. We overcame our differences and used some of everyones ideas for our presentation and got one of the best grades in the class. Initially I felt very frustrated and nervous about it, but in the end I felt great about our project. My beginning feelings about my ideas remain the same, but my attitude towards team work and compromising was changed for the better after that
