My first day of school my psychology teacher was giving his usual leture on welcoming the class to the new school year and what he expects us to do in his class. He goes off on a lot of tangents and this time he was telling the class about flashmobs. An example of a flashmob is when one person gets a group of people and dress in the target colors (red shirt with khaki pants). Then the group goes to target and spreads throughout the store, helping people or whatever. Then a horn blows or some kind of signal so that the group knows whether to freeze in place, or even just suddenly drop to the floor. If you would like to see other flashmobs that other people have done just go to youtube.com
Though i have never done a flashmob, i think it would be hilarious to go into an elevator and see how many people conform to the way a person is facing. Like when you go into an elevator face opposite of the doors, and see how many people you can get to follow your position. what would be even more funny is if you kept moving facing different ways and if the other person in the elevator does follow. I have been wanting to try this for quite some time, expecially in a casino where people are drunk and you could probably get them to do whatever you want, like persuading them into giving you money. Whatever i think i am just bored and hope everone will look up flashmobs because they are
SO FUNNY.
How many people conform with society today just to fit in? i have written papers upon papers on this subject and i have come to the conclusion that everyone wants to fit in the "norm" group. Doesn't everyone want to fit into society because they don't want to be labeled as "weird"?
what do you think?
