We are Group 2, Yanomami Tribe. The members in our
team are Ayaan, Tahirah, Gurvansh, Reina and Hrithik. There are a few reasons why we chose the Yanomami Tribe. The Yanomami Tribe is a unique and astonishing tribe found in South America. Their vast culture and traditions have inspired each one of us as it is different from the culture that we follow. Their culture also has connections with the way they behave. While researching about the Yanomami Tribe, we felt that it was a new and weird culture because we are from a different one. Our group members are sure that the audience will also feel the same way. This is also another reason why we are interested in this Topic. Not only their cultural differences, but also the culture has a huge impact on their shelter. The method of making their houses is just fascinating. The way they worship their gods and the belief that everything has a soul, truly inspired us. These were the reasons why we have selected the Yanomami Tribe.
We started by doing our research and convincing each
other why the Yanomami Tribe was the one to be selected. Through the whole journey, we have faced some issues. As mentioned before, the Yanomami Tribe has vast topics to be discussed about. We had first come up with 10-12 topics. But, presenting these many topics who consume time and exceed the time limit. Here, we faced a little trouble as each one of us kept telling each other that all the topics are to be put in the presentation as they are the significance of the Yanomami Tribe. By further discussion and further research, we picked the most important topics that will be included in our presentation. We also combined a few topics as some were very important and definitely needed to be included. By combining and reducing the number of topics, we found the solution to this problem which we faced. One of our team members was procrastinating and was not able to join our discussions, which brings to our second problem. We solved this issue by adjusting and changing the time slots for meetings, as discussions were done through online platforms. Deciding the outcome was the third issue. We had first discussed a video or an online show where each member presented their research work. As we thought about the flaws of the video, we discussed and settle onto a much simpler outcome, where a show on the Yanomami Tribe was presented live with a background displayed on the Smart Board. These were the problems we faced throughout our group work.
This presentation was not only a project, but also a
learning experience for each member of our team. We have learned to collaborate with each other, defend our arguments and to convince other group members why a particular topic should be incorporated in our presentation. We have also learned about the benefits of teamwork, self research and selection of any topic
