Chris has left the group, due to other classes. Our new group consists of Briana, Leticia, Natalie, Catrina and Jon. We are discussing social expirements. We were originally doing a social norm video, but now I think we are doing an expirement. We are looking into acting like we are drunk and getting into a car to see if people will try to stop us. We also would like to drop items and see if people would stop to help. We would like to see if individuals in a group would help vs. individuals by themselves.
