[QUOTE="ratski, post: 1998015, member: 936"] As has been stated, I think that one of the biggest obstacles in a group environment is the leadership and direction of the group. Some folks are good natural leaders, many others only think that they are good leaders. I've seen plenty of the latter. Many, many, many who thought that because of their rank or profession or "station in life" that they could lead and should be followed. I've taken orders and I've given orders. I've taken orders from bad leaders. And I've fallen on my sword for good leaders. I've seen how I react to stress, confusion and mayhem but not how others do and that would bother me in a group situation. I've seen how people who you would expect to be able to handle a crisis break down in the unfolding of a problem, look around for help and after the dust settles think that they did pretty well. I think that some neighborhoods will respond well, but others, not so much. During the Ice Storm a few years ago, I saw alot more of "I'm watching out for me" than "can I help you". Like anything, depending on the situation, I think that it will be an evolutionary process. Some will join a group. Some will be asked to join. Some will be asked to leave. Some will want to leave on their own. Groups that "survive" will change as the situations dictate. Same for individuals. Those that cannot adapt to a changing environment will cease to exist.
