007 Asch

Asch presented the studies of the Milgram’s experiments and saw that they provided great evidence of the degree to which individuals can surrender their on judgement to others, even when those others are wrong. Group pressure plays a big role with groups and that is because sometimes you might have less knowledge than a group member and things can be tough. They did experiments to see what would happen with group pressures and 36.8 percent of the selections were misleading because of the pressure around. In groups others might think they are right which can cause confusion and conflict with coming to a group decision.

I strongly agree that group pressure can be tough sometimes and getting on the same page as others, if you’re not really on that page. You might not want to be wrong and hold in some ideas you believe in. I feel like even though it is hard, we have to get used to because we should be by now. Everything we do in life is with groups so we should be able to handle everyone’s opinions and the group pressure normally as we do on an everyday basis without even thinking about it.
