This is modeled by the fact that people being in groups, causes them to act and think differently than they would have if they had been alone. In her essay, Tavris uses many examples of this: In the case of Kitty Genovese or the late Rodney King who was beat to death by police officers. People have a tendency to act differently in groups, others suffer due to people not wanting to “rock the boat” or they do not want to “embarrass themselves or others if they are wrong” (19). Tavris offers a solution to the way people act in groups, “By understanding the impulse to diffuse responsibility, perhaps as individuals we will be more likely to act. By understanding the social pressures that reward group-think, loyalty and obedience, we can foster those that reward whistle blowing and moral courage. And, as a society, we can reinforce the belief that they also sing who stand and watch” (19). If civilization can solve the dilemma of people acting differently when they are in groups with others, the world could be a much improved place.

During the Renaissance time period, each man and woman needed to strive to meet the “ideal” image that was expected by society. If this image was not met, the person would be judged by society. Both males and females had different goals that they needed to meet in education, as well as in their lives. While there was an “ideal” image, some people disagreed with them. There was always a distinct role for both women and men, but within those roles, there could be controversy. The most controversy could occur over the education that the males and females were getting, there were clear roles and ideals for men and women in the beginning of the Renaissance time period, but as time went on, people became more skeptical of the

In 1939 the world was plunged into World War II because of the Munich Agreement. The Munich Agreement was an agreement regarding the Sudetenland Crisis between the major powers of Europe after a conference held in Munich in Germany in 1938. The Sudetenland was an important region of Czechoslovakia. The Treaty of Versailles was the peace treaty created as a result of six months of negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, which put an official end to World War I between the Allies and Central Powers. The Munich Agreement caused many disagreements between European countries. Collective security was a more effective response to aggression than appeasement because more European countries disagreed than agreed

In 1787, the Constitution of the United States was just written on September 17th. During this time, the common man was still under the power of the Articles of Confederation, a weak document that loosely connected the 13 former colonies. Although the Articles didn’t give the United States of America the strong centralized power that it needed, opposers to the new Constitution would argue that the Constitution took away the rights of the common man and gave that power, that the individual once had, to the federal government. Although this statement is correct, the federal government’s newly given power was used to protect the fundamental rights and liberties of its citizens and create a powerful government in the hopes that it would benefit

Tollund Man is a 2400-year-old naturally mummified body that was discovered in 1950 in a danish bog. Tollund Man was most likely a low- class slave from the Iron Age, who was killed as a result of being hung by a rope noose, because he believed in another god than his community, which suggested he was rebelling against his own community.

“Suffering, failure, loneliness, sorrow, discouragement,…” says Brennan Manning, is what most soldiers felt at Valley Forge. The year was 1777, eighteen miles out of Philadelphia. George Washington’s army, known as the Americans, were keeping an eye on the British, for any attack. There is war in Valley Forge, and illness all over the camp. Since I have already served my nine months, I want to stay homeland. I have decided to not re-enlist because for three reasons which are: lack of supplies, weather conditions, and illness/death.

APUSH HOMEWORK (A) Define a confederation and explain why the Articles of Confederation were a “confederation”? In addition, be sure and list the Confederations salient features? The Articles of Confederation explicitly pertained to each individual state- although did not pertain to the National Government, “its sovereignty, freedom, and independence”. Under the Articles, the national government, consisted of a single-chamber Congress, elected by the state legislatures, in which each state could have one vote.

The Enlightment originated in Europe and spread to the colonies. The Enlightment celebrated rational inquiry, scientific research, and individual freedom. This resulted in America being especially receptive to the new science. Isaac Newton led people to believe that Reason could improve society. Benjamin Franklin, a descendant of the puritans, believed that God created a universe animated by natural laws, laws that inquisitive people could discern through the use of reason. The eighteenth – century Enlightment made people think that God, the church didn’t control everything. The Enlightment period set in motion intellectual forces that resisted the orthodox way of thinking.

.How did India get taken over? Was it actually the british or a british company’s fault? Once the british officially arrived in India, they caused some from of terror as they went around taking over they cities. British set up heavy laws just for the Indians. Some were that they couldn’t gather in groups or protest. Not only that but they ruined India’s land, made minorities feel unsafe. British ruined things in India politically, Economically, and Socially while they were there. The British governed India in such a way that laws were heavily restricted all around them although some people say it’s for the better, it was not. Economically, the British may have protected some old buildings but they quickly ruined soil for the plants to grow

The year was 1943 and London was in the midst of realizing the extension of the damage caused after the Blitz, where German bombs were aimed at the Commons Chamber. Now, the Commons, alongside with Winston Churchill, had to rebuild the Chambers. That was when Churchill decided to maintain the old rectangular pattern of the room claiming that it was the cause for the English democracy system to be divided by two parties, saying the famous phrase: “We shape our buildings and afterwards our buildings shape us” (Churchill, 1943). He was no expert in architecture or design, but he was wise enough to realize the importance of it in the interactions between humans and the environment. People’s lives occur around the buildings they build; it is only

On first glimpse of the group you can see that they are all dress in a similar fashion, hair well groomed, high heels, make-up done to perfection, and similar food to each other. By this glimpse we can automatically tell that they do not individualise themselves from each other. Deindivisualisation can completely change the way someone would usually behave due to the fact they are in a group and following them as a group, another example of this is how “soldiers kill innocent children? They often answer this question by saying that they are not monsters, but that they were going along with the group and that they were just following orders, and that they were not the only ones doing it” (3.psychology glossary 5/8/14).If a member of the group were to be individual and dress different to what is scheduled for them to wear on a particular day, then they are at risk of breaking a rule and therefore not being allowed to sit with the group at lunch or to an extreme of being kicked out of the group. The group also presents in a similar manor of dumbed down, poise, and flirty manor.

History is rife with ideas that which at one point were hotly debated topics, are nothing more than common sense today. Perhaps one of the most significant of these issues was that of abolition of slavery, the idea that slavery is immoral and should be done away with. Causing upheaval like no issue in history, abolition was an issue unfortunately stepped over by the Declaration of Independence. However, it was not a simple oversight, nor unanimous decision. In fact, it was certainly something of debate among those who penned the document. In the end it was ultimately left out though due to the feared repercussions from the south if abolition was promoted.

We become more vulnerable to social influences and the impacts of social rules when we are deindividuated. In a certain study people were given different rules, guards, and inmates. When put to the “task” of acting their new identity, many people became violent, harsh, and acted out of their original identity. This study is known as the Stanford Prison Study: Chaos in Palo Alto. Although indidvual differences in personality do play a key role in conformity, many people still showed signs of aggressive change in their personality like others. in conclusion deindividuation does not make us initially bhave badly, we are more likely to conform to the situation that is at hand. A loss of identiy is likely to make people engage in prosocial or helping behavior when others are too helping. Despite being anonymous sometimes we are more likely to assist others. deindividuation helps us to nderstand why crowd behavior is so unpredictable. In most cases the actions of crowds depend largely on wehther others are acting prosocially or antisocially. Inittally depending on prevalling social nomalitys, deindividuation can in contex make us less aggressive or more
