Since having a smartphone is used as a resource for most of us, it can really affect our everyday lives. Our group wanted to find out the truth about how much battery percentage our apps use on one full charge. One reason we chose this experiment is because the data is accessible to us and easy to track. Additionally, since our group members happen…

The three main theories of interest groups such as, pluralism, hyper pluralism, and elitism are all very important components when talking about the effect they can have in implementing new policies or even changing some older policies we have as a nation.

Thirdly, Individualism, low grid and low group, is a group of…

This is where leaders are often discovered if they are not already the supervisor of the team. I have found that with the current coworkers within the organization where I work. Leaders…

One of the most complicated factors that the group experienced started at week three where member B could not attend the weekly group…
