Has group think ever affected you, personally?

Like on fluther—when one person expresses an opinion and then pretty much everyone chimes in with the same opinion. Or in the workplace, there’s a project that is supposed to solve a problem, and everyone chimes in trying to get a part of the solution that was proposed.

I think it’s how that “box” gets created—the one people don’t think outside of. Somehow, everyone buys into an idea, not for any malicious reason, but just because that’s what is already there

Have you had any experience with that—either where you bought in or where you didn’t buy in? Tell us the stories about that.
