Crowds

The wrong crowd, the right crowd; who are they? I believe people to be individuals, but sometimes they collect. Crowd mentality perhaps? Anyway, people need to be who they are. Peer pressure can be quite influential. Influences work well when they are positive. The person that thinks for himself or herself is a leader in his or her life. I have always thought that the person who is comfortable being himself or herself has a strong identity that can withstand bad influences and spread positivity. Birds of a feather may flock together, but one can be proud as a peacock being his or her true self.

that is easier said than done ,crowd mentality is a serious thing that when it happnes requires a superhuman effort to control, or perfectly normal peace loving individuals can turn into violent persons seduced by a crowd.

Crowds are powerful, but the mind is too. The right thing can be done in every situation.

I agree with the power of passion. I can also appreciate restraint and self control giving one power as well.

it is possible but very difficult , especially in football matches , where passions run very high. restraint and self control must always be in the mind. it just takes one moment and everything goes out of control!

A persone who is not self confident needs the crowd.There he is anonymous just one of all.He feels stronger and courageous and can do everything.I saw such a behaviour last month here in my country.Young people who don`t know what they are protesting for just to show their agression.

Young people are definitely vulnerable to their environment. With so much going on, curiosity can make one become involved in things that are not good. Sometimes they act out or whatever, but there should be good examples of adult behavior that out young people on the right track and help them to get there.
