teams outperform individual effort Teams perform better not only because of putting more people on a single task but also because of the richness of their diverse skills and opinions, which have a multiplying impact. The biggest lesson I learned during the simulation is that teams outperform individual effort. As such, we had to make decisions as a team. The process was not always smooth because the team members often came up with different ideas and opinions on how to reach the summit of the mountain. An example of a situation in which the team did not agree on a collective decision was on the number of oxygen tanks that each member was to be given for the climb to the summit. Our decision-making process was not the most effective, but we could agree on some common issues that ensured we succeeded in getting to the peak of the mountain. The team made decisions collectively and ultimately managed to finish the simulation, with many of the members getting sick at the very finish. Significant conflicts did not rock the team…
An Analysis of the Growth and Development of Korean Buddhists in East Asia Topic Summary The growth of Buddhism in Korea is adduced by the fact that Buddhists travel a lot; hence, they were able to find themselves in Korea, after traversing the different lands.

For instance, in the 6th and 7th century, respectively, Buddhists from places such as the kingdom of Paekche took part in what was identified as the broader dissemination of culture from Korea to Japan.

Korean monks traveled to China and engaged in the development of Buddhist sects. Also, the texts…

Focusing on group therapy, all participants have the power to cause effective change and make the group have a straightforward approach to other members.
