Humans ask questions on a daily basis. We have a natural urge to understand our surroundings and to develop knowledge about different issues. However, how do we know that the question we create does not have some sort of bias? How do we know that the questions that we create are not already anticipating a certain answer, as we immediately create a scope of possibilities where the answer may be? Before we question the possibility of neutrality in a question, we first have to define what neutrality means.
Now there are two basic lines of questioning to follow: Question My Emotional State Sometimes the problem could be very emotionally charging so in that case, questions are being aimed at finding out: What am I feeling about the problem? What would have I done if no help would’ve been given? What am I scared of?

The subject that investigated evidence of group polarization among small group or citizens committee in educational contexts were reported by Friedkin (1999). An important rationale for the study also revolved around the factors associated with decision qualification or factors which influence group polarization in a small group like disciplinary commission or panels made up of a small group of instructor. The previous field of study only reported on the existence of the phenomenon of group polarization in committees or small groups of teachers or scholarly person set up to make decisions or choices but none of these studies reported on the variables of the teachers or the students which could have influenced the group polarization. Social comparison theory is one of the theories that explain how members are made up of small social groups. People think that people need to evaluate their opinions and abilities and often compare their opinions and performance with similar viewpoints and
Some have similar to others, but the majority make their own decisions. You cannot classify or put a nation of people in a box, and have a legitimate claim.

Robert C. Liden, “Social Loafing: A Field Investigation” Social loafing was investigated by testing a multilevel model among 23 intact work groups comprised of 168 employees representing two organizations.

What definitions would you need to use to answer the question? 5. Who in the community might be an expert at relationships? How can you find out what they know? 6.
