Hypothetically, we can almost always derive at a probability or conclusion simply by studying the applied effort, action, and the reaction or result thereof. For as much as Newton's law of motion implies; when we force any type action, (be it physical, mental, or spiritual) we can often determine the measure of such efforts by weighing it against the opposite reaction. Hence, his theory;"for every action there is an equal, and opposite reaction."

Understandably, there are indeed a lot of examples throughout history that have shown that any concentrated effort to organize, conform, or produce a mind-share or group to be programmed to 'think alike' often concerns a measure of influence or an act of persuasion.

The underlying principle from a psychological standpoint concerning "group-thinking" can easily be found in direct association to the power of influence, and the art of persuasion.

In trying to understand the underlying demographics of our ability to process our thoughts we generally derive at the cross roads (perception) of making a decision; as to whether we act on our perception? -Or by way of instinctual nature or habit?

Without question this psychological process begins with our perception, and how we interpret the responses of our first visual impression(s) per se.

*Clearly, we cannot limit perception to derive solely by sight, as many of people throughout history who are sight or hearing impaired utilize one sensory to compensate for the lack of another.

For the sake of exploring the dangers, or the evils that can be produced when any number of people direct their focus of thought(s) to the point of a mind-share, it crosses the thresholds of one's independent philosophical interpretation, and encompasses the thoughts of a number of people influencing, and persuading a specific outcome.

In my personal observations and experiences, the outcome can be awe-inspiring and produce positive results from any number of agendas or preconceived destinations or results initially being sought.

For example, let's look at any business's main focal point concerning the organization of employees, product services, and the exoskeletal structure, as it too is based on very similar principles as that of group-thinking, or a calculated agenda concerning a pre-determined outcome.

Sadly, there are generally more pawns in the world, than there have ever been kings or queens. Just as the same principle applies in the corporate world, religious groups, organizations,
