Unanimity

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Unanimity is complete agreement by everyone. When unanimous, everybody is of same mind and acting together as an undiversified whole.

Many groups consider unanimous decisions a sign of agreement, solidarity, and unity. However, there is considerable and difficult-to-controvert evidence that most unanimous decisions are a sign of coercion, fear, undue persuasive power or eloquence, inability to comprehend alternatives, or plain impatience with the process of debate.
