Group Dynamics is the study of groups and how the people within them interact with each other. This semester I have been both a participant and an observer in the Guide to Purpose and Success class.

It was also found that when policemen were in charge of rounding up the Jews, they were less harsh to them in the face of small groups with less surveillance. Masteroianni argues that it does not take people with aggression already present within them to perform violent acts. Ordinary people can simply become agents of hostility and aggression with the right authority.…

The Value of Teams – Responses 1.
