Answer:

Group-think

Step-by-step explanation:

Group-thinking is a process that happens whenever a body of people enters general agreement without critical reasoning or assessment of the implications or options.

Group thinking is based on a common desire not to disturb a particular group's equilibrium.

Such tendency generates a tension within a collective that seeks to stifle creativity and individuality to avoid conflict.
