Melissa, a manager at Greener Cleaners Inc., was disappointed with her team's discussion regarding next year's marketing campaign. Kwan, a fellow manager, pushed all his ideas through; they were good, but nobody else got a word in or had the opportunity to share. This group experienced _____.

Answer 1

Social dominance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dominance is defined as control of resources or opportunity by use of force, aggression or submission. This creates inequality of opportunity for all.

Social dominance is a situation in a competitive environment, where individual or group dictate others behavior and have biased access to the resources or opportunity, which create discomfort and disagreement between two groups or individuals.
