Explanation:

Groupthink is a phenomenon in social psychology. It occurs when a cohesive group makes decisions that many individuals privately believe are unwise. This is because of pressure to conform within the group, leading to a lack of critical evaluation. A virtual community is an online community where people connect through shared interests and emotions. It is different from face - to - face small groups (which have in - person, emotion - based interactions) and groups that share a characteristic but no interaction or sense of belonging.
