You and four other group members have to prepare a presentation that either argues for or against increasing government spending. You ask whether the group wants to use any multimedia in the presentation and one of the other members quickly expresses his opinion that would be a waste of what little time you've been allocated to speak. No one in the group disagrees and that becomes the plan. However, the night before the presentation, you start second guessing whether there should have been more debate about the prospect of using multimedia, rather than just going along with whatever the first person to respond said. What could this provide an example of?
A)rationalizing
B)foot-in-the-door technique
C)indoctrination
D)groupthink
E)suspension of disbelief
