Teams - I played on team sports,(water polo, basketball) and also individual team sports, (tennis, chess). The one thing, (issue), I had was the team wanting everyone to be like the leader. In highschool, no sports team liked the chess team or debate teams. I never had a problem with either set of teams. We are mostly shaped by our high school years, but we can change who we were shaped into if we want. Teams are pretty much the same as Cliques in my book.
I agree 100% with your statement about following and leading. - - I feel like an egocentric loner, an independent "leader-personality" - -
I am one of those that feel we need bad apples. We need them to remind us of what we do not want to become. People choose who to follow, sometimes they make a poor decision. I do know that butting heads with a "bad apple" only causes some of that bad skin to rub off.
What to do about "bad apples" I really don't know. People try a lot of ways to "fix" bad apples. From what I have seen the only thing that sort of semi works, for me is to show a whole lot of pity towards them. I mean show a lot of pitiful pity, shower them in it then drown them in it, and soon they go away with tail tucked between legs in shame. But then I wondered after doing that once, was I the bad apple in my actions toward that individual. Can we really have individualism when we want people to be perfect?
"Bad Apples" a hard issue to deal with, most likely the most difficult issue we as individuals will ever have to deal with.
