Agenda:
Today, we decided that we will reenact Solomon Asch's conformity experiment on Monday the 25th. Our goal with this experiment is to show the way in which a group can influence the individual. Asch's original experiment can be found here... Asch’s Research

Also, we continued to discuss what direction we want to go with our leadership project. During our meeting over the weekend, we will finalize our project and be ready to present on Thursday.

Questions to ponder:
What camera will we use?
Who will be the participants in the experiments?
How many times will we perform the experiment in order to get accurate results?
Where and when will the experiment take place?
