    Mob Mentality and Social Control

    #mob #mobmentaility #socialcontrol  The right to freely express opinions in democratic nations may unexpectedly become derailed and end up uniting those with related, and sometimes radical, views. Members of these groups may become evangelized and later begin propagating their beliefs or faith outside their sphere of influence.  Being a member or part of a community or group can amplify or exaggerate an individual's optimistic and pessimistic sense of security and pride. Is it possible that the commonalities that hold groups together in democratic societies become influenced or abused remotely by nefarious institutions, foundations, and, unsurprisingly, governments?  Please leave a comment if you have anything you would like to say or share concerning this topic.

    Cognitive Dissonance in a Democracy

    #cognitivedissonance  #democracynow  #beliefsandsciences    Unfortunately, it takes some people an extremely long time to acknowledge that some of their beliefs, or ways of thinking, weren't carefully thought out or lacked objective reasoning.
