JFK and Groupthink: Lessons in Decision Making - Probe Ministries {21} Robert Kennedy later wrote, "The fact that we were able to talk, debate, argue, disagree, and then debate some more was essential in choosing our ultimate course."{22} Many groupthink mistakes of the Bay of Pigs, in which bad ideas went unchallenged, had been avoided. Nor does groupthink explain every bad group decision (decision makers could be inept, greedy or just plain evil, for example). "Groupthink" was the term Janis used for the phenomenon of flawed group dynamics that can let bad ideas go unchallenged and can sometimes yield disastrous outcomes. www.probe.org /content/view/1088/162   (2104 words)

Articles - Television in the United States Some TV shows seem to fit the auteur theory of filmmaking—David E. Kelley, for example, is widely believed to write almost all of every script for every one of his shows, while other shows, particularly sitcoms, are very much the result of groupthink. During the week, morning shows such as The Today Show or Good Morning America and talk shows dominate the morning hours; soaps dominate the early afternoon; talk shows, tabloid newsmagazines, local news and gameshows dominate the late afternoon and early evening; prime time begins at 8 p.m. Single-camera shows act like movies — they are shot from multiple directions at several places; multiple-camera shows act like plays — they are shot on a set, in a sound-stage, often with a laugh track or a studio audience, and usually only range between two or three different sets. www.centralairconditioners.net /articles/Television_of_the_United_States   (5005 words)

O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference Coverage Corante: Folksonomies at Etech A transcript from a talk with Clay, Stewart, Joshua, and Jimmy. All Things Distributed: Amazon in India I have been in India since Saturday to promote the Amazon Development Center India in Bangalore and to talk to the local engineering talent. As James Surowiecki--New Yorker writer, Technology Review contributor, and author of the recent book The Wisdom of Crowds--pointed out today at the O’Reilly Emerging Technology Conference in San Diego, it may be possible to be excessively hooked into the buzz, zeitgeist, or groupthink around a certain topic. www.oreillynet.com /et2005   (5005 words)

salon :: :: media :: circus :: To Borgly Go Where No One Has Gone Before, By SCOTT ROSENBORG :: Page 1 They talk about how "the acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in our lives." In the harmonious era of the Federation, everyone works together "to better our lives." Still, "Star Trek: First Contact" would fall easily into the "see it and forget it" category but for the villains it puts on view: those paragons of groupthink, the Borg. It does have the distinction of being the first "Star Trek" film in which William Shatner makes no appearance not even for a flashback second and that alone deserves a certain amount of grateful applause. dir.salon.com /media/media961125.html   (5005 words)

Television in the United States Details, Meaning Television in the United States Article and Explanation Guide Some TV shows seem to fit the auteur theory of filmmaking—David E. Kelley, for example, is widely believed to write almost all of every script for every one of his shows, while other shows, particularly sitcoms, are very much the result of groupthink. The '50s saw the first flowering of the genres that would distinguish TV from movies and radio—talk shows like The Jack Paar Show and sitcomss like I Love Lucy. Syndication and independent television often went hand in hand, and were generally seen as the "afterlife" for a program with mixed success in its first run, or for cult TV classics like Gilligan's Island and Rocky and Bullwinkle. www.e-paranoids.com /t/te/television_in_the_united_states.html   (5005 words)

Wiki Pedia There is a legitimate worry that the wikipedia has taken more than one step down the path of an official POV, and has left objective reality out of the debate between the groupthink of the administrators, and the "fringe" views expressed by some newbies. I suspect, however, that the odd and particularly unwikilike nature of interactions on wikipedia stem mainly from the separation of content and discussion, which is exiled to talk pages. This wiki is a history of computing which includes developing ideas, processes and procedures, while WikiPedia is a record of what has already been and does not have the same sense of evolution. c2.com /cgi/wiki?WikiPedia   (2162 words)
