A crowd is chaotic, has no purpose of its own and is capable of anything except intelligent action and realistic thinking. Once assembled in a crowd people lose their ability to reason and their capacity of moral judgment, their suggestibility is increased to a point where they cease to have any will of their own. This is the case in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, where the citizens are constantly kept in a masses to prevent them from thinking. An individual craves rationality and fact, it is their critical habit of mind makes them resistant to the the kind of propaganda that works so well on the majority. However when placed in a mass of people they lose their identity, their elementary humanity and their sense of individual responsibility.
