Answer to Question 1

The term groupthink refers to the pressure on members of a cohesive group to

conform to the group decision and refrain from contributing conflicting opinions. Janis

examined group decision making among political experts and found that major blunders

in U.S. history may be attributed to pressure toward group conformity. Group members

often limit or withhold their opinions and focus on consensus rather than on exploring all

of the options and determining the best course of action, sometimes with tragic results.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
