Social Convergence Theory

As we continue working on and preparing our service learning projects, my mind continues to revert back to something I read earlier this year. The reading I keep revisiting in my mind was that of the social convergence theory. This theory outlines how, over a period of time, a group can develop a collective consciousness. This development of a collective consciousness allows a group to work toward a specific goal in a very efficient manner. After multiple group meetings and a collective effort to keep in contact with each other, I can see some chemistry developing between our team members. There seems to be a good understanding of what everyones abilities are, and each member of the group has settled into a role on our "team". I think that these things will all contribute to successful completion of our project.
