I think that research is important because researching something gathers information on something. When you do a report you don't pick a subject and then not reserch it because you might know some things about that subject but you most likely don't know everything about that subject so what so you do you start researching that subject to get information.

When I was looking on psyblog I found a post about groups polarizing. The article was "Group polarization: the trend to Extreme Decisions." I can relate group polarization in my life because when I get together with my friends one person can say that one thing is awesome and then another person can say o that was retarded all of a sudden the guy that said that it was awesome will change his and say that it was retarded and everyone else that said it was awesome will do the same usually.

One thing that I learned was that polarizing in groups can make a situation even harder and even longer to discuss about. I thought that this was important because when I am in a group and some people decide that one of the subjects that we are talking about is stupid and then everyone else in the group falls in with him and starts saying that it is stupid I will remember not to agree with the majority of the group.

The second thing that I learned about polarizing is that smaller groups usually don't fall into polarizing. I felt that his is important because I learned that working with smaller groups is much easier and you can usually get more done because there isn's os much fighting over a single subject.

The last thing I learned was that you should listen to everyone's views and not shoot them down. I thought that this was important because shooting people down when they try and show you their views on things makes them feel like crap. You should listen to what they have to say and not shoot them down because if you don't shoot them down you set a good example for others and they won't shoot people down they will listen to them.
