Individual Reflection 10-8

In past experiences where I've worked with others on projects or on activities with a shared goal, I have seen some downsides and also some high points. Sometimes if a member or two of a group decides to sit back and only do what they're told, it doesn't truly help the group be as filtered and put together as someone who is actively engaged. When everyone in the group forms their own thoughts and discusses them with the rest of the group, the group will have a more thorough and detailed response/outcome. This is to me the most effective reason to work in groups, as you get multiple points of view and schools of thought. When people are passive and don't truly participate, it ends up putting more work on less people, generally degrading the quality. A way to combat this would be for everyone to form their own thoughts and then share with the group, that way everyone has a say and ownership in the subject.
