In the article There's too much groupthink in America today talks about how groupthink is being used to much in America. From Chapter 15 in Communication Making Connections by Selier and Beall textbook it says that groupthink a dysfunction in which group members see the harmony of the group as being more important then considering new ideas, critically examining their own assumptions, changing their own flawed decisions, or allowing new members to participate. Which means people really don't think on their own they rely on other members of the group to do the thinking for them. From the article the author says that groupthink is used to much in America today and people do not think enough on their own to come up with new ideas for the group that they belong to. So remember if you belong to a group remember to think up your own ideas and share them.
