Mob Mentality
Definition: Herd mentality where people are described to be influenced by their peers to adopt certain behaviors, follow trends, superstitions, traditions, etc.
Slide32
Examples
1.
The Holocaust: Looking back on Nazi Germany, it’s difficult to comprehend how ordinary people acted so ruthless and inhumane. Even if you assume the average German citizen didn’t know what was happening in the concentration camps, there were still 24,000 members in the “Death’s Head Unit,” that was in charge of the concentration camps. Even hatred and extreme anti-Semitism aren’t enough to motivate the average person to commit murder, but put that person in a group of other like-minded individuals with leaders pushing for brutality, and BOOM: mob mentality ensues.Slide33
Examples
Salem Witch Trials:
The 1692 Salem Witch Trails are everyone’s favorite example of mob mentality. In fact, this incident made such an impression that—over 320 years later—we still use the phrase “witch hunt” to describe people being senselessly persecuted (wronged or mistreated).Slide34
Examples
Stock Market Trends:
Uncertainty and fear are thought to cause stock market falls. When people believe the stock market is doing well they have no problem spending money. Once they hear rumors about economic problems stocks go down.Slide35
Examples
The Internet:
The Internet is a breeding ground for herd mentality. Not only is it easy for online users to find pack of other individuals who share their brand of crazy, but it shields everyone under a cloak of anonymity, which gives people the freedom to let go of their social restraints.
