2) I am going to approach people who are typical college age. These kids are usually tight on cash and would likely take money more willingly.
3) I'm going to start this out by asking people if they want a dollar. I'm trying to think of this from my perspective and I think I would probably be weirded and and reject the money.
4) I'm going to say that I'm trying to do something nice.
5) Out of the 5 attempts, I think I will be able to give 4/5 away. After: I actually only gave 2 away. I think the people who rejected it were suspicious of the camera, thinking I was 'pranking' them or something.

This exercise was more difficult than first anticipated. I was kind of upset when reading about this assignment because I didn't want to lose $5, in the end I only lost $2. I think that the camera made it more difficult because people thought it was fishy. If I wanted to make it easier I would have approached homeless people because I could have given $5 away. I did suspect that people would be hesitant, people don't give out money for no reason!
Hi, Collin. I had the same problem with people being a little weirded out by being videotaped. The two that I recorded ended up being easy ones to give away, since they happened to be more willing people. It may have been harder than expected, but at least you were able to get some practice talking to people and you didn't have to lose five dollars!

Nice job collin, I do agree the videotaping was an issue. I had my friend tape discreetly in the background but even then people still looked at it and you could tell they got weirded out. I'm surprised you only lost 2 dollars, I actually lost all my money while doing this. This assignment did a good job at getting people to do something out of there comfort zone.
