Today we continued talking about threshold. We applied our knowledge from the discussion yesterday to a Harkness today, where we talked about chapter 3, and how Tom and Nick's threshold values played a role in the chapter, and the small party. We wrote during the discussion about who was involved with what scenes, and how, as well as how their threshold levels connected them. We also talked about who had the highest and lowest threshold values.
This can be applied to the real world by taking our own threshold counts and applying it to interactions in a social situation and setting. If we can change our thresholds, we can eliminate social anxiety and become more fluid with conversation and interaction. The threshold measurements give us understanding of how to communicate with people based on their societal comfort level and how the correlate certain actions and words or phrases with positive or negative emotions.
