It is a natural human instinct to want to be acknowledge by your peers, yet it is also important to be a critical thinker. Irving Janis in 1972 created the term groupthink.

Six Thinking Hats in Group Decision Making : When we take certain decision about important things in our life, it does not become easy to come to final and constructive conclusion. If we look into our usual (Indian) approach of communication and thinking, it is usually not lateral but opposing and does not involve co-operation.

Conflict can be defined as, “any situation in which incompatible goals, cognitions, or emotions within or between individuals or groups lead to opposition or antagonistic interaction” (Learning Team Toolkit, 2004, pp 242-243).
