III. Read the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions about it (1p)
Cooperation is the common endeavor of two or more people to perform a task or reach a jointly
cherished 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 all of each individual's life. The rewards of the group's work are shared 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 often characteristic of preliterate societies, secondary
cooperation is characteristic of many modem societies. In secondary 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, or power. Business
offices and professional athletic teams are examples of secondary cooperation.
In the third type, called tertiary cooperation or accommodation, latent conflict underlies the
shared work. The attitudes of the conperat1ng parties 20 are purely opportunistic; the organization is
loose and fragile. Accommodation involves common means to achieve antagonistic goals; 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 used for this relationship.
