All of a sudden I thought about sociology when I one of my friend was talking about what happen at menards on black friday. She said someone cutted in the check out line and that started a big comotion. This goes perfectly with the topic we're now covering in sociology which is collective behavior. Collective behavior is spontaneous, wild and unpredictable which also involve a large amount of people. referring to the situation that went down at menards, the participating structure here are these visicous group of people trying to hurry up and pay for their things and here comes this guy trying to cut in line. The social strain to this is everyone is pressured into being tough and selfish because being timid on black friday doesn't pay off, literally. Police officers would be considered inadequate controls because they wouldn't be able to control this mob of people, I would be terrified being a police officer on black friday. To wrap this up, collective behavior are one of those bazare things you find fascnating scared to be apar of.
