Cooperation: A. Review of Journal Article or Book Chapter

The document summarizes a journal article about how cooperation and thinking affect generosity. An experiment found that people who had to make quick donation decisions gave more money than those who had time to think. Taking time to think makes people more selfish. In the workplace, cooperation is important for teams to work together effectively and achieve common goals. Employees must collaborate and find compromise to complete tasks and ensure everyone understands their roles. Lack of cooperation would lead to chaos in a workplace.
