Question:
1. The following four movies offer good instances of groups in action and cover some of the concepts discussed in this chapter:
Of ice Space, Apollo 13, 12 Angry Men (the original Henry Fonda black-and-white version), and The A-Team. Admittedly, these movies are a bit dated, but each one does a very good job of demonstrating something different about groups. The opening sequence of Of ice Space, for example, gives you a good idea of a group culture, and some of the characters represent different leadership styles (analyze Lumbergh’s—ugh!—power and leadership style). 12 Angry Men demonstrates how a task leader can bring emotionally led individuals back on track by using promotive communication but also handle the socioemotional concerns of different members. Apollo 13 demonstrates aspects of leadership and group norms. Finally, The A-Team demonstrates a number of such group characteristics as group roles, interdependence, and cohesion. What are some other—perhaps more recent
—examples of movies demonstrating communication in groups?
