Read the passage and choose the best answer for the questions below.
Cooperation is the common endeavor of two or more people to perform a task or reach a jointly cherish goal. Like
competition and conflict, there are different forms of cooperation, based on group organization and attitudes.
In the first form, known as primary cooperation, group and individual fuse; the group contains nearly of all individual lives.
The reward of the group’s work is share with each member. There is an interlocking identity of individual, group and task
performed. Means and goals become one, for cooperation itself is valued.
While primary cooperation is most characteristic of preliterate societies, second cooperation is characteristic of many
modern societies. In second cooperation, individuals devote only part of their lives to the group. Cooperation itself is not a
value. Most members of the group feel loyalty, but the welfare of the group is not the first consideration. Members perform
tasks so that they can separately enjoy the fruits of their cooperation in the form of salary, prestige and power. Business
office and professional athletic teams are examples of secondary cooperation.
In the third type, called tertiary cooperation and accommodation, latent conflict underlies the shared work. The attitudes of
the cooperating parties are purely opportunistic; the organization is loose and fragile. Accommodation involves common
means to achieve antagonistic goal; it breaks down when the common means cease to aid each party in reaching its
goals. This is not, strictly speaking, cooperation at all, and hence the somewhat contradictory term antagonistic
cooperation is sometimes use for this relationship.
