Essay On Mob Mentality
Mob Mentality
Mob Mentality is when people are influenced by their peers to adopt certain behaviors. When others are committing a certain activity, people in the group that normally won’t commit those activities will just because others are. I feel like in all situations, this is true, no one in a group wants to be that outlier that's not doing what everybody else is. People don't want to be different than than other people. It can turn an individual into a completely different person. I had some rather small experiences with this like when a group of people at a table in the cafeteria started clapping, the rest of the cafeteria including me, started clap, no one knew why but they just did it just because everyone was. However, mob mentality can’t just be applied for these small actions, it can even be for when kids join in together to beat and even kill a man.
A group of kids from ages 10-18, united together to beat an adult man to death. All of this started will. One boy, aged 10, had of all things, an egg and he gave it to a 13 year old where he tossed it at a man. The man responded with violence and threw the boy who threw the egg at the ground. …show more content…
Then it all escalated till they beat the man to death. For me, I would never do anything like this, even if a group my friends started to beat a man, I believe that I won’t join in, but for those boys, they did. Just because their friends were assaulting the man, they started to join in, because of mob mentality, the boys joined in together to beat the man to death. But what if the roles are reversed, what if the boys were mans, and the man was a boy?
During a brawl between soccer fans, some of the men grouped together and began to beat a boy, a fan of the opposing team.
Without hesitation, anyone would say that grown men beating a child is just inhumane and disgusting. No grown man should go as far as beating a child while he’s on the ground. And the men even go as far as shoving the boy’s head into the ground multiple times, as an adult, they have to look at this situation and realize that they’re beating a kid and they have to stop. But because of mob mentality, they didn’t stop, the rest of the men didn’t stop should why should I, they didn’t want to stop because the others didn't stop. Mob mentality can turn people into aliens of themselves, if one person picks out the wrong friends to hang out with, then they’ll change into a completely different
person.
