While going through the tutorial, you learned the sociological names for some of the social processes that you have experienced in your life. In this activity, you will read the following incident
experienced by a student and answer the question that follows.
Our high school organized a sports event. My class received the assignment of designing attractive
posters for the event. Initially, we decided that each of us would make one poster. Most of us found
the task difficult because it required us to write slogans, draw pictures and caricatures, and color the
poster, and only a few of us were good at all of these tasks. While some of us were good at drawing
others were good at calligraphy. Others were good at writing slogans, and so on.
We gathered in the cafeteria to discuss the problem. After a brainstorming session, we realized that
we would make better posters if we all took up tasks that we could do well. Some of my classmates
had very good knowledge of the shops where quality material would be available for the posters.
They took charge of procuring the materials. Those who were good at writing slogans wrote slogans.
The artistically inclined students used their drawing, coloring, and calligraphic skills to bring the
posters alive. As the posters were ready, the remaining students hung them at previously selected
locations on the school premises.
Through cooperation, we achieved what we could not have done if we all had worked alone. This cooperative effort bore fruit and our attractive posters became one of the main highlights of the sports event. Both the teachers and school management appreciated our efforts.
