Question

Defend or critique the following statement: “People who are unable to put aside their own interests should not be on teams.”

Answer 1

If you are unable to put aside your own interest you shouldn't be on a team. The reason you shouldn't try and be on a team is because you need to put aside your interests and work with a group of people who may think differently than you. When you work in a group setting, you need to make sure you are open to how other people work and interact.
