Groupthink

The concept that many of us dont recognize is groupthink. Or in other words following the crowd, being of the norm. Groupthink according to social psychologist Irving Janis is "occurs when a group makes faulty decisions because group pressures lead to a deterioration of mental efficiency, reality testing, and moral judgment" This concept of groupthink allows us to make irrational decsions not allowing us to think for ouselves, it dehumanizes our culture, and allows us to be controled. We are prone to groupthink espically when members of a group have similar backroudnds. Knowlege is power and as americans we are becoming less powerful. We let so many outside forces dictate what is right and what is wrong, how to dress, how we should be, etc. Just because someone who seems of higher power says these things does not mean its true. We should break away from this groupthink and become individual thinkers. Thinking for ourselves letting you determine what is right or wrong, how to dress, and how one should be. Being an idividual being true to yourself and not following the heard of the sheep because maybe the path of the sheep is not who your meant to be. Follow your own path and you shall find what you seek.
