Week12 / Collective_Behavior/ 김권수 Kim Kwonsoo

Summary: Various behaviors, such as the rapid spread of rumors or anger, are included within what sociologists call collective action. Collective behavior is accompanied by limited and short social interactions, while groups tend to stay together longer. Groups have strong norms, but collective actions create norms that are not bound by convention. There are four forms of collective action in sociology: the masses, the public, the public, and the social movement.

Interesting point: The clear distinction between group behavior and group was impressive.


Discussion: Bad collective action such as rumors and malicious comments is being done by many people, which is a serious social problem. Can the solution be defined within sociology?

  1. I think the function of the media is important in how to solve political rumors in society. In today's society, the media is one of the biggest media outlets to strengthen and spread rumors. I think the truthful coverage of the media and the increased punishment for rumors are one of the ways to dethrone it.

  2. I agree with you, but our country also values freedom of expression. So isn't it hard to stop them one by one?

  3. Everyone has to be nice. But is this possible? The media makes money through rumors, and ordinary people also enjoy gossip. Not because they are bad. However, this is because they lack consideration for others.
