#2 Explain how entropy and euifinality impact small groups

At times giving to many ideas in a project leads to confusion and possibly getting nothing done. On the other hand groups tend to talk over one another which can lead to confusion and nothing being accomplished. Entropy as explained in chapter 2 tends toward disorganization, stagnation, and chaos. This can be true because small groups tend to overwhelm each other with ideas that can trigger group members to think of new or better ideas where nothing gets written down and accomplished. Another trigger that can cause entropy is when group members feel their ideas or input is the best choice for the project without hearing out other ideas. We tend as group members see this and react as we shouldn't put our inputs in the project. However, also discussed in chapter 2 is Equifinality which explains that there are different routes that people can take to still lead to same common goal. Groups can coordinate a structure to help deviate responsibilities to other team member to get certain fields done at a deadline. Once the group member get his/her part done, then the other team members can give input to help improve the paper. Another example is to ask questions to the group members to see what a group member is comfortable taking on what task on the assignment and then assign him that task to get done. In doing this everybody can do a part in the paper that they feel comfortable doing and have it done in a sufficient way.Lastly, when families have disagreements in the house on who does chores or who is watching t.v, to eliminate all problems they create solutions by alternating duties and days when a person watching t.v. In doing this we can conclude that it will more of a positive result than a negative outcome.
