1. Read the scenario below:
Jon Wayne recently graduated from college with a degree in graph design. He was immediately place with a company where he would be able to apply the skills he learned while in college. In the first week on the job Jon was introduced to several other coworkers. Initially, he was shy and often spent his breaks and lunch at his desk. However, after a few weeks on the job, Jon became more relaxed and sociable. One Friday afternoon, Jon was asked to join a group of coworkers for happy hour. The group was to go to a local lounge and get a bite and shoot pool. “The night went well,” Jon thought as he headed home. In reflecting on the night’s events, Jon came to the conclusion that he had officially found a group to which he belonged, one in which they all shared common interests, likes, and dislikes.

2. Finally, complete a written response to the following question:
