Crowd

that Antony has motives ulterior to those he expresses to Brutus and Cassius. As Brutus and Antony give their respective speeches to a Roman crowd, it becomes apparent that both sides are vying for the support of the crowd. Brutus desires the plebeians’ support in order to sooth his cognitive dissonance and justify his actions based on the response of the crowd. Antony, however, intends to rouse the population and urge them towards mutiny without directly insulting the conspirators. This…

Lorraine Hansberry shows the struggle and choice that one must go through: either standing out in a crowd and becoming ones own person, or staying the same as the people around you are, following their choices, becoming the person that they are. In line number one I started with the major question that I believe every one is facing and answering for him or herself through out the play. “Do you follow the crowd” reminded my of Walter in the story. He is constantly looing at all the successful men…

On April 8, American Sign Language (ASL) 1 went to Bakersfield College to watch “I See the Crowd Roar”. “I See the Crowd Roar” is a movie about William “Dummy” Hoy, who was a Deaf baseball player in the late 1800s. William Hoy, was born on May 23, 1862, but he was not born Deaf, he became Deaf when he was around three years old due to meningitis; from that, he lost his hearing. Baseball was starting to pick up as a common past time and thus as a young boy, William wanted to learn and play just…

Information The mass media is perhaps responsible for the cultivation of the phenomenon of crowd violence. As Hagger & Chatzisarantis (2005, pg.211) explain, the individual who gets pulled into a crowd has probably observed the prominence with which crowd voice has been covered in the media, and attached some meaning to it. Therefore, crowd violence becomes portrayed in the media as a popular culture, and serves to vindicate the sociological theories of emergent norms and social learning. More…

The 2014 movie "Divergent," starring ( Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort, and Theo James...) was a very interesting movie as it relates to ones sociology class of 418, titled, "Crowd Behavior and Social Movements." As throughout this class we have studied many concepts and ideas related crowds and social movements, this movie "Divergent," was an exceptional choice, with a few underlying concepts related to the course, containing social movements and collective action. This paper will first attempt…

Stanford High School Summer College stood out as the best candidate. Two months of taking two college-level classes, International Relations and Psychology, enabled me to pursue the interdisciplinary fun. In The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind, Gustave Le Bon expounds the psychology of groups. His theories of group irrationality are applicable to numerous historical events such as the French Revolution, Boulanger Incident, and Alfred Dreyfus Incident. Alfred…

disciples. Here is where we notice our first major difference in John’s account of this event in comparison to the other gospel writers. All the other writers talk here about Jesus having compassion on the crowd because they are like sheep with no shepherd. He takes the time to talk to the crowd and teach them many things. As it often does with us, time seems to fly by and before they know it the day is far spent and they are far from home. By all accounts except for John’s, here is where…

Jerry Seinfeld said during one of his shows, "I saw a thing, actually a study, that said speaking in front of a crowd is considered the number one fear of the average person. I found that amazing. Number two was death. Death is number two? This means to the average person if you have to be at a funeral you would rather be in the casket than doing the eulogy." While this is humorous it illustrates a good point; people are afraid of public speaking. Public speaking is defined as "the process of…

“Why the Crowds Cheered the Munich Agreement” The Second World War was brought on by the settlement made in the First World War. After the First War, which resulted in millions of deaths in countries involved around Europe, Prime Minister of Germany, Adolf Hitler, and British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain sought peace for Europe. By 1938, Germany violated the Versailles Treaty which was put in place after the First War by rearmament and territorial expansion. Hitler desired to take back…

feel until both Brutus and Antony spoke at his funeral. Antony in my opinion was Caesar’s yes man and his personal lap dog. He did everything Caesar asked without hesitation. The relationship and feelings both men shared had a great effect on the crowd. The first speech was given by the honourable Brutus. He credits himself by telling the people to have respect to mine honour, that you maybe believe. The…
