series - consensus

series - consensus Consensus and dictatorship of the majority The term consensus also implies notions of compromise. Rather than an opinion adopted by a majority, the consensus suggests the contribution of multiple different opinions, and their gradual adaptation until a solution satisfying the greatest number of people can be found. Consensus does not necessarily mean that everyone is satisfied with the result, but rather suggests that everyone can deem the result acceptable and that the majority are satisfied. Particular care must therefore be taken in defining this representative majority of the whole, otherwise this compromise may stray from reality. Provided that the consensus is built, in view of the subjectivity of the estimate of the "representativeness" of each person. (Wikipedia)
