Since the basis of the project is sharing, yesterday I requested Morgan, a fourth year Grad student if I could discuss a few ideas with him. Previously some of my discussions with peers and advisers have been slightly moot. This is mostly due to the uncertainty in my topic. Hence I was unsure about this meeting as well.
However we had a rich discussion on various issues, branching of my grad project. We debated the notion of sharing, cultural value systems, and the significance of eating meals together. He mentioned the word 'imbalance' in relation to the issue I am addressing. This is a powerful metaphor symbolizing the teeter totter tray which I will be discussing in my next post. Another point he steered me towards was the notion of dysfunctional. 'Due to the dysfunctional nature of the situation I am making a statement with a dysfunctional set of objects'. This was a tangible summing up of the current ideas I am trying to illustrate.
A few sources I am to reflect upon are:
1. Roberts rules of order, rules of ethics.

2. Super etiquette.
We concluded with a number of relevant tangents for this project to continue.
