Examples of consensus in the following topics:
-
-
- Making decisions by consensus is not necessarily ideal or even desirable.
- Another way to think about consensus is as the absence of objections.
- One approach to consensus building is the Quaker model.
- Another formal technique for consensus building comes from the consensus-oriented decision-making (CODM) model.
- Define consensus and the varying ways in which it can be achieved in a group dynamic
-
- The details of how these systems work vary widely, but there are two common elements: one, the group works by consensus most of the time; two, there is a formal voting mechanism to fall back on when consensus cannot be reached.
- Consensus simply means an agreement that everyone is willing to live with.
- It is not an ambiguous state: a group has reached consensus on a given question when someone proposes that consensus has been reached and no one contradicts the assertion.
- The person proposing consensus should, of course, state specifically what the consensus is, and what actions would be taken in consequence of it, if those are not obvious.
- For small, uncontroversial decisions, the proposal of consensus is implicit.
-
- Consensus decision-making tries to avoid "winners" and "losers".
- Consensus requires that a majority approve a given course of action, but that the minority agrees to go along with the course of action.
- When a consensus is impossible, impractical, or undesirable, different voting systems can be used for a group to decide on an outcome.
- Group members try to minimize conflict and reach a consensus decision without critical evaluation of alternative ideas or viewpoints.
- This diagram shows how decisions are made by consensus.
-
- In groupthink, each member of the group attempts to conform his or her opinions to what he or she believes is the consensus of the group.
- Even in group projects for school, individual members are disinclined to speak up against the group's consensus, creating a situation in which the final product is something no group member prefers.
- In a groupthink situation, each member of the group attempts to conform his or her opinions to what they believe to be the consensus of the group.
-
- At the -10 and -35 regions upstream of the initiation site, there are two promoter consensus sequences, or regions that are similar across all promoters and across various bacterial species.
- The -10 consensus sequence, called the -10 region, is TATAAT.
- The σ subunit of prokaryotic RNA polymerase recognizes consensus sequences found in the promoter region upstream of the transcription start sight.
-
- Examples include the false-consensus bias, status quo bias, in-group favoritism, and stereotyping.
- Apply the four false consensus biases commonly identified to the value of avoiding diversity risks in business.
-
- In the 1960s, functionalism was criticized for being unable to account for social change, or for structural contradictions and conflict (and thus was often called "consensus theory"), and for ignoring systematic inequalities including race, gender, and class, which cause tension and conflict.
- During the turbulent 1960s, functionalism was often called "consensus theory," criticized for being unable to account for social change or structural contradictions and conflict, including inequalities related to race, gender, class, and other social factors that are a source of oppression and conflict.
-
- A group can make decisions by consensus, in which all members come to agreement, or it may take a majority-rules approach and select the alternative favored by most members.
- By isolating themselves from outside influences and actively suppressing dissenting viewpoints in the interest of minimizing conflict, group members reach a consensus decision without critical evaluation of alternative viewpoints.
