    The Smartest People May Not be as Smart as a Crowd‚ but Who can Find a Smart Crowd?

Surowiecki backs up his claim by giving numerous real life examples of crowds that meet the criteria of having diversity of opinion‚ independence‚ decentralization and aggregation‚ and have proven to be smarter than almost any one individual

    The epigraph at the beginning of “The Man in the Crowd” brings up the interesting question of what it really means to be alone. While the actual definition of alone is “quite by oneself‚ unaccompanied‚ solitary‚” (“Alone”) the story‚ through the narrator’s thoughts and the observations of the nameless man in the crowd‚ can serve as a different perspective on being alone if applied beyond the situation in the tale. The epigraph says how terrible it is to never be alone‚ and the story serves as a metaphor

    How might we best explain crowd behaviour? (2013 Exam Question) People are likely to act in bizarre ways in a crowd compared to as an individual.

    Crowd Is the Untruth

    Crowd is the “Untruth” Over the past two weeks‚ I have been consistently reminded of Kierkegaard’s theory of faith wherein the individual (particular) is higher than the universal (ethical) – of which I have been convinced. This week’s reading supplements this philosophy as it conveys the notion that the “crowd is the untruth”. According to Kierkegaard‚ it is justifiable to deem the crowd as the authority and its judgment as the absolute ruling in politics or similar disciplines; however‚

    front of a big crowd and there is a lot of free space around you‚ so you move forward slightly because hey‚ why not? It’s a free space except that you have just started an Indiana jones’ technique of rolling a heavy bolder of sack. Those standing behind assume that since more space is being created ahead of them‚ they should move too. The whole crowd rolles ahead almost like a massive Persian rug sloping down steep hill… It’s this lack of invisibility that’s also responsible for the crowd stampeding

    How does "The Man of the Crowd" help us to think about the questions of what it means to read something and what it means when something is unreadable?
