1. The quote I chose for this assignment was from The Logic of Collective Action. Public Goods and the Theory of Groups by Mancur Olson. The quote states, "The degree of consensus is sometimes discussed as though it were the only important determinant of group action or group cohesion. There is, of course, no question that a lack of consensus is inimical to the prospects for group action and group cohesion. But it does not follow that perfect consensus, both about the desire for the collective good and the most efficient means of getting it, will always bring about the achievement of the group goal"(pp. 58).
2. I believe the meaning of this quote is when trying to achieve a goal with a group it is beneficial to have the same viewpoints rather than opposite views, but that does not mean that general view is the best idea for achieving the goal. The best way to reach an objective is to base your views on, the public or the people effective, what they need the most or how they react to certain things. Those results will then lead you to the best general agreement and the best method to reach your objective.
3. I like this quote because tonight is the first Democratic debate for the 2020 Presidential election, and in total there are 20 candidates. They all have the same goal to get rid of Trump and make better plans for America, but the problem with that is each and every contestant is going to spit out dirt on each other just to get to the number one spot. By the time they get to the only contestant, there is going to be so much dirt out there people are not going to vote for him/her. People want to get rid of Trump so bad but yet their general view has and will cause a huge hindrance on the final contestant, and then they will be extremely shocked if Trump gets back into office in 2020.
