hi guys. regarding lee's theory of territorialised. sad to say it sort of happen in our uni. i am not saying it wrong, that a nature of human. i've read few research on why individuals create this 'circle of trust'. Individuals often join a group to meet their interpersonal needs. William Schutz2 has identified three such needs: inclusion, control, and affection.
a)Inclusion is the need to establish identity with others.
b)Control is the need to exercise leadership and prove one's abilities. Groups provide outlets for this need. Some individuals
do
c)not want to be a leader. For them, groups provide the necessary control over aspects of their lives.
d)Affection is the need to develop relationships with people. Groups are an excellent way to make friends and establish
relationships.
as a conclusion to what i've read,
Group Synergy
Group synergy refers to the idea that two heads (or more) are better than one.
You may have also heard the phrase, "The whole is greater than the sum of its
parts," which also refers to group synergy. Put simply, groups are often capable of
producing higher quality work and better decisions that can an individual working
alone.
Support and Commitment
A group may be more willing to take on a large project than would an individual. In
addition to its increased ability to perform work, the group can provide
encouragement and support to its members while working on a big project.
Interpersonal Needs

identified three such needs: inclusion, control, and affection.
* Inclusion is the need to establish identity with others.
* Control is the need to exercise leadership and prove one's abilities. Groups

Hey Atet,
ReplyDeleteI agree i don't think a notion of right or wrong is valid here, beneficial things do come from territorialisation but we need to grant ourselves a little ignorance to get through a day.... The danger i see in obtaining identity through a group is that if the group is arranged about particular set of values (as i am accepting they are) then a type of homogenisation can occur (groups, tribes, religion... GLOBALISATION) "Inclusion is the need to establish identity with others".
What would a more singular existence be like? to indulge in only the things you like, just because you like them?
i guess the question is, now we are aware of it what can we do with it?
hey lee,
ReplyDeletewhat can we do? it is in human nature to turn to the one they feel most comfortable. As u were saying the circle of trust is getting smaller from GLOBALIZATION to SIBLING. The same reason we come back to our house. anyway see u today at 11am..
