The answer is Groupthink.

Explanation:

Groupthink can be defined as a psychological phenomenon that usually takes place inside a specific group of people. In this group, there is a desire to achieve harmony or conformity, but that desire produces an irrational result concerning decision-making.

There is another aspect that usually takes place in a group and this is called cohesiveness. This aspect can produce that the different members who belong to a group have a tendency to agree at all costs, and this produces that the group reduces conflict, as well as an achievement of consensus decision without the existence of critical evaluation.
