Throughout the session we have examined many applications of course material to your personal and professional lives.  This week, however, you will be asked to consider the downsides of knowing about group dynamics and processes.  In your initial post address the following:

• Explain whether you think it is possible for your understanding of groups and group dynamics to ever negatively impact your interactions with others.
  • • • • • Provide specific examples of how knowing about group dynamics could negatively affect relationships and interactions.
• Detail how you will ensure that you use the knowledge gained from this class in a way that is productive, rather than in a way that might have detrimental effects.
