Groupthink

The reading section and the lecture are both about the groupthink which is the combination of people to work together. The author presents different advantages, however, these explanations are refuted by the lecture. The disagreements between the author and the lecture are discussed below.

First of all, the author presents that working in group combines people from different backgrounds which ultimately helps in the problem solving. The professor, however, counters this argument. He cites that group of people from with different intellectual background and variety of thinking make the work more disastrous. Furthermore, he says that conformity becomes the main issue: one person needs to convince all the other group members about his ideas.

Secondly, the reading section says that group discussion motivates people to think out of the box and to come up with new ideas. However, the professor refutes this. He says that if someone comes up with new unique ideas which do not match with the thinking of the others, then these ideas are neglected. To illustrates this idea professor presents the case of the Ford car group, in which due to keeping new ideas away, this car company went to bankrupt.

Thirdly, the author says that group work makes the organization strong, in a sense that people combine the knowledge from the different perspective. Nevertheless, the speaker opposes this idea. According to the lecturer, groupthink makes the organization vulnerable. He presents the case of one single prison outscoring all the police department to catch him.
