Jelly Donut: Collective Responsibility for Individual Mistakes

Earlier in class, we were talking about whether or not coworkers/affiliates should be responsible for an individual's mistake. The conversation reminded me of this scene from Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket:

*WARNING: CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE* Sergeants aren't known for their proper language.


While Seth was talking about the importance of a unified team in football, I think the military is an even better example, considering the latter concerns national security. This video is a perfect example of soldiers being punished for an individual's doing. Not only does it give soldiers a sense of belonging to something greater than them, but it ostracizes those who do make mistakes. I just thought this would be a good way to get people thinking about how complicated things can be when you compare situations and in a (hopefully) humorous way.
