Question
Chapter 9, Problem 5TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction
Angry mobs are no laughing matter. Not only are they a large angry group, but they are usually experiencing a phenomenon known as groupthink, meaning that their desire for group conformity results in irrational decision-making. In other words, to be part of the angry mob, everyone must commit one or more violent acts. Diffusing the mob and getting them out of the groupthink can take finesse and a carefully thought-out plan.
