Finally, their are the Luisiana constitution (goes hand and hand with the black codes) that stop blacks from voting or anything else.

In the beginning of the Breakfast Club, 5 individuals arrived to detention. None of them belonged in the same group. They were all polar opposites. Never spoken a word to each other. However, toward the end of the movie they all realized they weren’t as different as they seemed.

Groups can influence people’s perception and ideas even if they contradict their own. Groups can act as an entity of authority, and for some people it is difficult to stand out or think differently than their peers. “When we’re in a

According to Watkins (2013), organizational culture is not well defined. However, Watkins (2013) lists characteristics of organizational culture as: observable consistent behavior patterns, an alignment of purpose

I had a chance to observe two different kinds of group development which “reflects a group’s path toward closeness, interrelatedness, and, ultimately, separation” (Malekoff, 2006, p. 240). Although Malekoff (2006), emphasized that “a children’s group is a

These types of groups are aimed at learning from one another, rather than forcing change (Montgomery, 2002).

At my school, there are cliques. Not cliques like exclusive cults from Mean Girls, but groups of like-minded people that shared an interest in something. High school is full of stereotypes: the sporty jock, the flirty cheerleader, the quiet band geek. We assume that all people that like the same things are the same. We put people into boxes like prison cells. Humans are not clones. We do not have an original that we base all of our actions off of. The beauty of the human race is our uniqueness and

In some schools cliques have ruined the chances for some students to have some great opportunities, just because one person in the group has so much power over everyone else that this person can destroy lives if he or she wants. While this sounds more like Hollywood, it has happened. Maybe not in such drastic terms, but group leaders have created problems for those that don’t want to go along with the rest of the clique.

Cliques, and what clique do I belong to in my current organization. Well, first a clique in a workplace environment is usually a group of people who share the same beliefs, values, and ideas working towards the same goals (Tappero, 2017). I work for a company that builds bearings for the aerospace industry, and I am part of the management team. I never really thought about it much as being a clique, but if you think about the definition of a workplace clique, then I would say that I belong to the management clique, because I am one out of the six area managers within the company who are working together to accomplish one goal and that is to drive our teams to meet on-time delivery and customer satisfaction and create value among our direct reports.

Involves an emphasis on the importance of fitting in with relevant others and ingroup connectedness.

The culture and climate both leave a major imprint on any organization. They tend to have the biggest impact during transformational periods. In order for change to be present in any organization, the leader must first identify and be able to stabilize both culture and climate components. While organizational climate has been around for some time now, “organizational climate is a relatively recent development.” (Papa, M.J., Daniels, T.D., & Spiker, B.K. (2008)

The key concept tradition helped me understand the article very well. The ingroup helped me to relate to the article, but the outgroup is the group which must struggle through these traditional ideas everyday. An outgroup is a type of group where you are alone. You try to be in an ingroup; so you are being competitive and feel as if you have an opponent now. Males
