MCQ

Read the passage and answer: Groupthink is a concept that emphasizes how the desire for harmony within a group can overshadow rational judgment. When individuals fear standing out or disrupting unity, they often suppress their true opinions, leading to collective decisions that are neither logical nor well-examined. This tendency reflects a broader trait of social conformity, where people align with majority views simply to feel accepted or avoid conflict. A well-known real-world example of groupthink can be seen in the Bay of Pigs invasion, where U.S. policymakers failed to challenge flawed assumptions because dissent was discouraged. In today’s world, digital media further amplifies conformity. Social platforms reward popular opinions with likes, shares, and visibility, subtly pressuring users to adopt mainstream views while discouraging alternatives. Opinions that gain traction quickly appear more credible, making individuals hesitant to voice disagreement. To counter the negative effects of groupthink, experts propose encouraging open dialogue, welcoming dissent, and creating environments where questioning ideas is valued rather than suppressed. Diverse perspectives and constructive criticism help groups make more balanced and well-reasoned decisions. What does the concept of groupthink emphasize?
