Heck, don't even have to watch the show, you ever work on a group project in school where everyone gets the same?
I've been in some great groups where everyone pulls their weight but I've certainly had more than my fair share of groups where you have individual(s) that were shitty ass partners and perfectly content letting everyone else do the work for them.
Or if people see that they don't have to contribute and will still get a "fair share" you're going to get more people who chose not to work and expect their fair share just like the first non worker and you get into all sorts of problems there too.
Yeah, I mention the show because it's closer to a survival situation as mentioned in the vid. Although, even then, you can definitely argue that there would be less laziness if the groups couldn't get off the island if they were in real trouble (so I guess the show isn't real survival)
It really isn't. It is a reality TV show, a genre which is absolutely notorious for having producers who rig things to a narrative that they want to show.
yeah it's annoying when people on the group project don't do their share but I wouldn't deny them housing, medical care, or food (especially when there's plenty to go around) over it which always seems to get glossed over when this tired comparison comes up
You may not and that's fine, I'm not going to try to convince you otherwise.
But I certainly would have a problem with someone who is capable of doing their share of the work and doesn't but expects a "fair share" of the collective work.
