Search Results - Consensus

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Consensus in the English language is defined firstly as unanimous or general agreement; and secondly group solidarity of belief or sentiment. [1]

Ideally, achieving consensus requires serious treatment of every group member's considered opinion. Those who wish to take up some action want to hear those who oppose it, because they count on the fact that the ensuing debate will improve the consensus. Action without resolution of considered opposition will be rare and done with attention to minimize damage to relationships.

A close equivalent phrase might be the "collective agreement" of a group, keeping in mind that a high degree of variation is still possible among individuals, and certainly if there must be individual commitment to follow up the decision with action, this variation remains important. There is considerable debate and research into both collective intelligence and consensus decision-making.

This article focuses strictly on the idea of consensus in the abstract, not on the implications of consensus for politics or economics, where follow-up action is required.

In this season as we look at the global economic down-turn, it is very easy to notice the mistakes that were committed particularly in the corporate America by senior CEO's of major companies, which have contributed to the current economic melt-down.The flip side of this situation is that among the stake holders, there is a growing consensus on what exactly went wrong and how to mend the situation. But more importantly, on the changes that need to be implemented so as to avert this present situation from reoccurring again in the future.The military has programs that develop their strategies an...

2. Wine - The Aging Issue for Wine Newbies
November 19, 2009

Ask anyone about wine and you’ll hear the same thing over and over. Wine should be aged. The longer it sits in a cellar, the better it will be when you finally uncork it. As with many consensus statements, this one isn’t really true. The aging issue with wine is overstated. The first thing to understand is nearly half the wines produced in the world should not be aged. Specifically, white wines are usually not intended to be stuck in a cellar somewhere. They just go bad, although there are a few exceptions. Red wines, on the other hand, are more agreeable to aging. That being said, not ev... (read more)

November 16, 2009

When you start making beer at home you will learn that each piece of equipment in the brewing process is important, from the sanitation of the system as a whole, the quality of the beer package, and also the type of beer bottles you use.

6. Real Estate - Be A Contrarian
November 13, 2009

The nature of a contrarian is to look at the general consensus and then act in the opposite manner. This can happen in any niche as we've just seen with Warren Buffet buying a railroad company, an investment he used to scorn! Well, you probably don't have 30 billion or so to buy your own railroad company, but a huge contrarian opportunity exists in real estate at the moment. Location, location, location – these are the three words chanted endlessly by those in the real estate market. While location is critical to a good real estate investment, so is time, time and time. The basic idea of... (read more)

11. Positive Side Of Stress
November 10, 2009

Life, by general consensus, is a complicated affair that can be tackled in as many ways as there are people. It is possible to cruise by it without worrying too much, blatantly ignoring aspects and factors that can cause abrupt changes in one's life. On the other extreme, it is also possible to experience such levels of stress and anxiety that one is unable to find security only in certain areas of personal comfort. For others, life gets to them and they simply lose touch with reality itself, their mental imploding. Yet, all of the approaches that people have come up with to cope with life ten... (read more)

14. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is Easy or is it?
November 05, 2009

There?s a hot discussion on the BetterNetworker forum about how easy is SEO (Search Engine Optimization).

November 02, 2009

For decades car owners have pondered such eternal questions as, "What's that sound coming from my engine?" and "Is that part really necessary?" One of the most elusive pieces of car information though, has been how often should one change their oil? Every 3,000 miles? 5,000 miles? 9,000 miles? While there may not be a standard answer to this timeless inquiry, general consensus from car enthusiasts, talk show hosts, car magazines and dealers estimate the right time to be around 5,000 miles, give or take the type and age of the vehicle.

18. Scientology: A Basic History
October 31, 2009

Scientology is perhaps seen as a controversial religion emerging into the twenty first century. In this day and age, religion itself is controversial enough. But a new religion, growing, in the face of materialism, against the consensus that all is matter, that does stir the pot. There is much written on it, and a lot of that is simply well fabricated with zero truth in it. So what is Scientology really? Certainly, the Church of Scientology has experienced the same growth and controversiality that has been common with the evolutionary steps of all earlier major religions today. So what i...

19. What is a Vinatage Farm tractor?
October 29, 2009

Unlike many collectors of antiques, antique tractor collectors and users don't have clubs that give definitive answers as to what vintage, classic, or antique means. The word antique is a catchall word for any tractor that seems to be satisfactorily old. Some folks reserve the terms like classic or vintage for more recent models, but there isn't any consensus as to exactly when each term applies. Most people appear to agree that the 1960s models of most makes represent the cusp of antique tractors. Often , models that were produced in the 1960s commenced their production years in the 1950s...
