This chapter goes about stating the importances of developing a good group even through all the negativity and lack of commitment from other team members. This goes along saying how important it is to "overcome dangers in group discussion" such as having lack of information this sort of situation can be caused by "information under-load when there is a shortage of information necessary to operate effectively, or information overload which is the decline of efficiency that occurs when the rate or complexity of material is too much to handle

EXAMPLES FROM MY SELF

When I was put into a group for a science project in high school our group was highly un-oriented to the point where we all thought we were going to fail at first we were just going to accept the lost cause and take the failed grade but I decided that we should put away our differences if there were any and help us get an A on the project. What I decided to do was figure out what was wrong with the group and the first cause was lack of communication which was highly important for any project given to anyone, lack of information, and lack of reinforcement stage. After conceding with my team members we all fixed this establishment and go a A for the project this was because we communicated fluently and acknowledged what was wrong with our group.
