EMPATHIZING



Our group's topic is 
-- COLLECTIVE LIVING SPACE --

On the first day, lectures divided us into few groups and asked every group to choose a topic which is for exploring, brainstorming and discussing the solutions of setting up problems and write down as a proposal. Well, our group decided to choose this topic as three of us are living in a cooperative so we can directly experience of it. Also, we thought that it was quite related to interior design and three of us are major in INTERIOR DESIGN. 

As we know that, COMMUNICATION is the essential issue in any discussion. However, our group was facing on this problem - COMMUNICATION as our group members' English are not well including me. In order to make our discussion as efficiency as possible, we have tried to present our views as far as we can and will begin with a rather carefully structured set of ground rules. Following these rules may be a bit difficult at first, but we believe that later in this course if we choose, we can modify them. 






Collective living brings 3 main BENEFITS as:

 - Financial
   > Save money through sharing rooms and resources
   > Taxes are a shared expense not billed individually

 - Social
   > Cooperative living build communities where people know and assist each other
   > Reduce vandalism and anti social behaviour

 - Personal
   > Reduce dependency and give people a stake in where they live
