The article focuses on a study on the cooperative and clashing interests in small groups. Exploitation is as old as knowledge of society and recurs continually in almost every social organization that one knows, while cooperation is less common, more private, and continually breaking down. The authors are interested in routes that small groups discover for running against this exploitative current of history. The ordinary danger in new small groups is that divergent interests will be neither recognized nor balanced. This is the central problem of group development for the cooperative sectors of the society, which may include families, schools, research teams, and therapeutic groups, that is, groups in which the development of individual members is the primary concern. This could be the central problem of all work groups in society, but it clearly is not. In practice, the problems of group cooperation or collaboration posed in most business or bureaucratic contexts are completely opposite in intention to what we have in mind. These are problems of securing cooperation from people while continuing to dominate them. Group research is often about improving on this strategy for domination through seduction. |
