Question

be very general and dont list strenghts and weaknesses from a specific group.

Answer 1

Strengths - You can benefit from the combined skills / capacity of the whole group.

Weakness - Bad leadership can severly reduce the efficiency of the group, no matter how good the group.

Answer 2

STRENGTHS:
-Many people thinking together will get great ideas
-More can be done with more people doing jobs
-More power: authorities will listen to groups more than indaviduals
-Make new friends in groups
-Learn and get new ideas from different people
-You will be more safe because your group members will be protecting each other

WEAKNESSES:
-A big group will get attention and may be a target to people who do not agree with the group's ideas
-Your voice might not be heard and the majority of the people in the group might vote for something you don't agree with
-With a bad leader, the group will not be organized and therefore will take times to finish tasks and function as a group
-Sometimes group work is divided unevenly: some people do all the work and other don't do anything. This often happens in school when the students that study hard I relied on to do all the work for the group.

Answer 3

I don't know what kind of assignment this is, however In a psychology course I once learned that there is a thing called "group mentality" people behave differently when they are part of a group, they may be bolder ( which is a strength) or do something out of character for themselves (I consider this a weakness)

Answer 4

since you do not clarify what group you mean here, i would like to clarify what group mean to me here before i start to draw my comment here.

a group for me is a temporary organization or team formed to work on a single defined task or activity.
