The last class period was a tough one for me. We still do not have a solid idea. And every time I bring up an idea it gets shot down immediately. Three of our group members want one idea and one person wants another, when it comes down to it majority rules and we will go with my idea. But I will go over both ideas and give good reasons why my idea is better and relates to todays society.
