The term Collective behavior refers to social processes and events which do not reflect existing social structure. There are different types of collective behaviors. First, collective behavior involves limited and short-lived social interaction while groups tend to remain together longer. Second, collective behavior has no clear social boundaries and anyone can be a member of the collective while group membership is usually more discriminating. Third, collective behavior generates weak and unconventional norms while groups tend to have stronger and more conventional norms.
I learned there are a variety of types of crowds. Before, I didn't understand collective behavior theory. But I could understand collective behaviors deeply by reading this script. And I think discussion point is "Have you ever been included in crowds and had memorable experiences?"
