Currently doing some annual reading about Collective Behavior and Crowds. I'm heading to Indianapolis on Friday for three days, lucky enough to catch the Louisville Cardinals play on Friday. And of course if they win, they will play on Sunday.
I'll be posting some pics from the Road to the Big Dance. In the meantime, check out some preliminary reading on Collective Behavior. Pay particular attention to "Theories of Crowd Behavior".
I'll be posting pics as well, and will offer questions through the weekend that you can answer for extra credit.
That also applies to Janis Irving's work on Group think and the ability for people to conform to one thought. Even if they dont believe or agree with what is going on, they will conform to the thinking of their group or Crowd.
