Group Discussion! Is a methodology or in a simple language you may call it an interview process or a group activity. It is used as one of the best tools to select the prospective candidates in a comparative perspective. GD may be used by an interviewer at an organization, colleges or even at different types of management competitions. A GD is a methodology used by an organization to gauge whether the candidate has certain personality traits and/or skills that it desires in its members. In this methodology, the group of candidates is given a topic or a situation, given a few minutes to think about the same, and then asked to discuss the topic among themselves for 15-20 minutes. Freshersworld.com brings you an elaborate section for GD as you had ever seen anywhere else. It is a very useful tool to screen the candidate’s potential as well as their skills. GD evaluation is done by the subject experts based on the discussions. A report will be prepared on analyzing the facts at the end of the discussion. Some of the personality traits the GD is trying to gauge may include: Communication skills Interpersonal Skills Leadership Skills Motivational Skills Team Building Skills Analytical /Logical Skills Reasoning ability Different Thinking Initiative Assertiveness Flexibility Creativity Ability to think on ones feet Why GDs are implemented commonly: The reason why institutes put you through a Group discussion and an interview, after testing your technical and conceptual skills in an exam, is to get to know you as a person and gauge how well you will fit in their institute. GD evaluates how you can function as a part of a team. As a manager or as a member of an organization you will always be working in teams. Therefore how you interact in a team becomes an important criterion for your selection. Managers have to work in a team and get best results out of teamwork. That is the reason why management institutes include GD as a component of the selection procedure. Company's Perspective: Companies conduct group discussion after the written test to know more about your: Interactive Skills (how good you are at communication with other people ) Behavior (how open-minded are you in accepting views contrary to your own) Participation (how good an active speaker you are & your attention to the discussion) Contribution ( how much importance do you give to the group objective as well as your own) Aspects which make up a Group Discussion are: Verbal Communication Non-verbal behavior Confirmation to norms Decision making ability Cooperation. You should try to be as true as possible to these aspects.

7. Why Do We Have GD’S? It helps you to understand a subject more deeply It improves your ability to think critically It helps in solving a particular problem It helps the group to make a particular decision It gives you the chance to hear other students' ideas It improves your listening skills It increases your confidence in speaking It can change your attitudes

8. Strategies For Improving GD Skills For Tutorials & Seminars Asking questions and joining in discussions are important skills for university study. If you find it difficult to speak or ask questions in tutorials, try the following strategies. Observe :- Attend as many seminars and tutorials as possible and notice what other students do. Ask yourself: How do other students make critical comments?

9. How do they ask questions? How do they disagree with or support arguments? What special phrases do they use to show politeness even when they are voicing disagreement? How do they signal to interrupt, ask a question or make a point?

10. Discussion Etiquette :- Do’s Speak pleasantly and politely to the group. Respect the contribution of every speaker. Remember that a discussion is not an argument. Learn to disagree politely. Think about your contribution before you speak. How best can you answer the question/ contribute to the topic? Try to stick to the discussion topic. Don't introduce irrelevant information. Be aware of your body language when you are speaking. Agree with and acknowledge what you find interesting.

11. Don't Lose your temper. A discussion is not an argument. Shout. Use a moderate tone and medium pitch. Use too many gestures when you speak. Gestures like finger pointing and table thumping can appear aggressive. Dominate the discussion. Confident speakers should allow quieter students a chance to contribute. Draw too much on personal experience. Although some tutors encourage students to reflect on their own experience, remember not to generalize too much. Interrupt. Wait for a speaker to finish what they are saying before you speak. 

12. Leading a Discussion You may be in a seminar group that requires you to lead a group discussion, or lead a discussion after an oral presentation. You can demonstrate leadership by: Introducing yourself and the members of the group Stating the purpose of the discussion Inviting quiet group members to speak Being objective Summarizing the discussion

15. Public Speaking Group Discussions:- What shall we do about our ever-increasing Population? Is dependence on computers a good thing?

16. Is India a soft nation Public Speaking Group Discussions:- Foreign Television Channels are destroying our culture.

17. Well, I don't think that foreign channels are destroying our culture. Depends on the type of movie. Vulgar scenes and double meaning dialogues definitely harm the society especially young children but there are many movies which encourage us to think from new perspectives. Well, . It depends upon on the person whether he or she wants a positive or negative. Do you think it is right to blame on others for our wrong actions? What is happening in our society is all because of us, not because of any person or any foreign channels. There are so many good channels which is useful for our development. So everyone should try to grab positive things from these channels. Foreign Television Channels are destroying our culture

18. What kind of culture here we are talking about? I mean guys, just think about it. The quality content which we can get from BBC, can we expect that from Indian channels? definitely not. I am not saying all Indian channels are bad, but foreign channels are providing us the kind of information we need, we get to know what is happening around the world. Firstly, foreign televisions are corrupting the mind of Indian youths and they are adopting foreign culture forgetting their parents, culture and traditional values. Secondly, foreign televisions are making people's mind disturbed and aggressive. They are adopting illegal methods to earn money instead of working hard and efficiently.

19. Thirdly, foreign television creates a differential attitude in all the youths since they are not believing in the concept of unity thus making the country full of illegal and addition of divide and rule policy in all over the world. Well, I don't think that foreign channels are destroying our culture. It depends on the thinking of the viewers that how do they interpret the material being viewed on these channels. Now a days the more vulgar stuff is being shown in Indian television shows and Indian movies. Foreign channels like discovery, fox travelers, tlc etc are good channels which gives knowledge about the earth, the people and different cultures all around the world.

20. Conclusion :- Finally, its depend upon you whether to be destroyed or to developed. As if you will choose BBC, Discovery, or proper English movies channel even, it will expand your knowledge. I believe this is a global era, and if you want to be with the world at least u should be vast, in this way Foreign Tv channels has given us chance to know the world, Thus we came to a conclusion that foreign channels are not destroying our culture.

21. Public Speaking Group Discussions:- What is more important Education or Money

22. Team formation - Team A – Favor Education Team B - Money

23. Is India a soft nation Public Speaking Group Discussions:-

24. Is India a soft nation In my opinion India is very soft nation because there are no strict law and regulation against corruption, theft or any social evils. Many scam have been occurred but no example punishment had been given. In country like Saudi Arabia no one even can scare at the ladies here newspapers are filled with rape cases daily. In china they have given death penalty to a corrupt politician recently. We have not taken any strict action against Pakistan after being faced so much terrorist activities and ceasefire in kashmir .

25. I also support the statement "India is a soft country". As we know that rules and regulations are not followed strictly in INDIA. Actually we are also responsible for it. As the statement "do not split this place" is write anywhere but we do this and anyone do not oppose it. But in US a big punishment and penalty is taken by government. INDIA is a soft nation in nature but not in other matter. In my view, INDIA should not be polite in the matter of rules and regulation.

26. Yes, India is a soft nation. And it is not really a negative point at all. Our freedom was successful only because of non violent path which Mahatma Gandhi lead. And the fluent running of the most diverse country is only because of this softness. We should keep this in mind that India is capable of dealing with any tension on the border with the help of its defense forces yet the path chosen is softness in every respect because it will be the most mature way to deal with problems which can affect our future generations.
