STRATEGY FOR THIS EXERCISE: I walked around my neighborhood and approached 5 random people and gave them each a dollar. To start the conversation I just went up to them with a dollar bill and told them to take it. My plan for the conversation was to just give them the dollar and if they refuse it I would just say "Its to make you happy!" I'm pretty sure i'll give out all 5 dollars.
After completing this exercise I did successfully give out all five of my dollars. I actually really liked this exercise because it made everyone happy that I gave my dollars to! It was actually alot easier to give out my dollar to strangers. Some people responded with "Why??" and "Umm what?" but after I said "Its cause its a happy sunday!" or "I just want to make you happy!" then they took the money! My predictions were in fact correct! I think that I assumed that people would just be too
weirded" out and not take my dollar but after I said it was to make them happy they took it right away! This was a really fun exercise I'm really glad I did it!

Hey Jason,
ReplyDeleteYour videos were highly entertaining. I commend you on your tactic of commenting on people's clothing in order to break the ice and spark a conversation. The two videos made me laugh and I want to thank you for showing me that this assignment can be fun to do. I didn't do this assignment but it looks like you succeeded in doing your assignment.
I like the fact that you said it was to make you happy. I thought that was a very sweet and genuine idea. I think if I would have done that I would have creeped out a lot less people. Your strategy is great and I also really liked this exercise as well.

ReplyDeleteI really loved your videos! Saying the money was to make them happy definitely helped you get rid of all five dollars. If someone had sad that to me i would take the money too. I gave away all of my dollar bills but my approach was totally different, money is money i don't know why anybody would turn it down.
