Question

(1)Identify decision makers of groups
(2) Describe how decisions are made in the family and other groups
(3) Explain different decision making processes
(4) Explain how leaders are chosen

Answer 1

(1) Decision makers of groups can vary depending on the type of group. In a family, parents or guardians may be the primary decision makers, while in a classroom setting, the teacher may take on this role. In larger organizations or communities, decision makers may be elected officials, board members, or other leaders.

(2) Decisions in the family and other groups are typically made through a combination of discussion, negotiation, and consensus building. In the family, parents may consider input from all family members before making a decision. In other groups, leaders may gather input from members before making a final decision.

(3) Different decision making processes include democratic decision making, where decisions are made through a vote or consensus; autocratic decision making, where decisions are made by a single leader or authority figure; and consensus decision making, where decisions are made through discussion and agreement among group members.

(4) Leaders are often chosen through a variety of processes, depending on the group. In some cases, leaders may be elected by group members, as in the case of a student council or community organization. In other cases, leaders may emerge through their expertise, experience, or charisma. Some groups may appoint leaders based on their qualifications or skills.
