Well as we all know that today is the last day that we have to write a blog to get an incentive of 5% in this subject but are we actually doing it because we want to do it?? the question is between wants and needs..we need to write if we want 5% or we write because we want everyone to know what we think and get to know their paradigm at the same time. which one do we all prefer?
there may be few like me who have not yet post their blogs.. does that mean thier learning is nil from the subject?? you may name it as "weapons of the weak" but at the end of the day what matters is not how much marks you score but how much co-operation techniques you have learnt from these 30 sessions. When we go for practical implementation i'm sure most of us would not think about the "rules of Tactics or strategies" but apply whatever is feasible for them at that point of time.
As Prof. Sony had rightly mentioned in the class that most of the blogs are mere posting but not reflections/comments by others. My question is could we not have initiated a collective action to force each other to read our views and motivated them to comment on them? something must have motivated Giddens and Popkins to write their views somewhere(blogging didn't exist back then) so that we can use their ideas and reflect upon them in the future.
Well i'm not much of a writer but i'm sure of one thing that if such initiative is taken in the future there has to be a leader who must emerge out of PRM 29 and leads from behind and motivates all the participants not only to post blogs but also to reflect upon other's blogs. And the participants must also understand that this is an event where they themselves are the actors who can bring changes in the structure of the line of thoughts of many through interacting with the environment.
Who knows that may be the reader of this blog is the next CAC-Guru of IRMA??
My first and last post for CAC -term 2
Hope will get more to write in the time to come !

i totally agree to you, as posting doesnot assure that a person with maximum postings will be the cac guru? this blogging is like a common forum where everybody writes but nobody comments. this is like a notice board where everybody showcase what the general and current knowledge he had? it is like reading from the newspaper and writing on the blog. no damn value addition. so the essence of the blogging on collective action and cooperation had failed. sorry prof. sony
well Anup, relly it is on our part a mistake not to have achieved the real purpose of blogging that is reflection of our thoughts at the same time appreciating others thoughts. its not only you but many of us who have become a part of this blogging process very late. Blogging provides us with a common forum to pour our views, questions, ideas and doubts. This could have been a regular process and not a process driven with the motivation to be evaluated for mere 5 percent of marks. Better late, than never. I propose that as we are already oriented with this e-way of sharing ideas, let us continue it by discussing the issues that would be developing in the future. Let us invite more and more friends not only from IRMA community but also people from other educational institues to be a part of this process. this would definitely require COLLECTIVE ACTION on part of all.
certainly the blog-posting initiative and making comments is a sort of collective action initiative. This collective action is supposed to make us acquire more knowledge and better understanding as a whole in the process for all of us. But as the analogy of need and want goes, i am posting this comment at this time, i believe it is more of a selfish action. Had i posted similar comment some days ago, it could have well qualified to be an effort towards collective action.
