Cooperation
Cooperation brings a significant advantage to social creatures, however there are a couple elements that are necessary to make cooperation functional
The cooperative group needs to be competing against an external threat. This communal other, aligns the members and keeps them focusing on a common goal.
Individuals in the cooperative group must be allowed to take ownership in part of the task. Without the autonomy to improve the process and take pride in contribution most individuals will not remain engaged.
The individuals must opt into the cooperative group. If people are forced into cooperation, Policing and enforcement of the cooperation becomes a liability. The enforcers have unrestricted power to punish member of the cooperative group, therefore affording unequal advantage an infighting amongst the members.
