About groups and social cohesion

Группы и социальная сплоченность

The Collective Mind analyzed the "eternal" topic - does the cohesion of SOCIETY become greater or lesser when co-organizing into groups?

The CM found out the goals of group organizations |+| :

  • for survival  |+|
  • for development |+|
  • for cooperation and interaction |+|
  • to complement each othe  |+|
  • more fun togetherе  |+|
  • to keep myself busy  |+|
  • find out what you're worth |+|
  • bad without a guide |+|
  • get synergy |+|
  • realize an idea |+|
  • gain strength  |+|
  • in practice, the results are different |+|

The Collective Mind has defined the terms: COHESION and GROUPS.

 COHESION is the unity of|+|  in understanding  |+|, intention |+|, action |+|. Cohesion differs in its characteristics |+| and, contrary to the belief that it is immeasurable |+|, can be measured |+|. Differences in the standard of living of people |+|  can also have an impact on social cohesion.

GROUPS - we mean any groups that exist (or are being created) today, regardless of size, direction |+|, level |+|.

Cohesion in groups of different levels has its own characteristics |+|.

Using the COMPLEMENTARITY METHOD, we analyzed the network's responses and found that it is not a bad thing to have many groups, as everyone can choose their own direction of development |+|. BUT!

Division into groups reduces |+| the cohesion  |+| of society |+| .

Why: - People organized in groups are easier to exploit |+|, it's easier to drain their energy |+|, social networks break society into small groups |+|, and the quarrels of their members lead to a decrease in social cohesion|+|.

In the relations of groups and individuals, the Ego intervenes |+|, which does not tolerate consent |+|, competition |+| comes into play. In nature, the strengthening of cells leads to the strengthening of the organism |+|; only when the cells do not reject each other  |+|.

Theoretically, as the number of groups grows, the cohesion |+| of society |+|  becomes greater |+|, and "strong" group ties and interests are included. However, the cohesion here can be greater if the contractual capacity/alliance ability |+| of the (groups) is good, which is not yet observed.

The highest consolidation of society is in the system-wide consolidation of its members|+| , which is achieved in the Intelligent Society.
