Group Minds: A Summary

In her article 'Group Thinking', Doris Lessing first said "All people live in groups," People living in dangerous groups are not facts, people's facts live in groups It is said. And "Do not understand management social law" (48). It also pointed out that nobody can "induce members into the law of crowd psychology" despite the fact that many different people are aware of the tendency to comply or submit the group (62).

Lessing proposed that people in the group tend to "think like a group" (48). The group says "to make personal objections the most challenging thing in the world" (48), people in that group often "rely on brand names and packages rather than thinking" (52). Lessing provides three famous experiments / tests (one of which is a Milgram experiment), four different literary related examples, one from the wartime example, and her own experiments. The examples and experiments provided by Lessing prove that many people are losing fear of colleague group pressure or only following given instructions.

Lessing uses two other literature related examples to prove that "pressure from the inside requires you to follow ... to observe and control the most" (55). Statistics, and Known Experiments Using several different examples and evidences, Lessing can present people with "how to defend against their own initial response and instinct" (58 ). But Lessing also states that most people succumb to the group, but "10% of the population can be called natural leaders, they will follow their own ideas for decision making and selection" (53 ).

Countries and countries can claim that even democracy can not teach citizens the way to "get rid of government and state rhetoric and pressure" (60). Lessing acknowledges that the state relies on this "enthusiasm for loyalty and obedience to collective pressure" (60), she may benefit from teaching people about their own actions Not point out. If people can "think quietly, calmly, selflessly and emotionally about these rules ... it will get people out of blind loyalty and obey the slogan, rhetoric, leader, and group emotion" (60)

Abstract Doris Lessing's speech "Group Thoughts" states that people live in groups and groups and do not understand the social law of the management group. In the lesson we talked about the variety of people knowing the tendency to comply or submit the group. The point of Lessing is that people within the group tend to "think according to the meaning of the group". The beliefs of the group are rarely questioned. She also pointed out that as a member of the group, "the world is most difficult to maintain personal opinion". Therefore, she thinks people should use information on human behavior. They believe that the beliefs of Westerners are that they are free to have their own choices and opinions in society.

But is the group mind hypothesis essential for interpretability? Estimation of mind will be broken if reasonable behavior, expression, speech etc. can be easily explained (or interpreted) without quoting the idea of ​​the group. Therefore, if it seems that the behavior is completely controlled or interpreted by the attitudes and behaviors of others (or others), there is no reason to regard the problem subject as the mind. For example, if the rational behavior of a group is fully explained by an individual member, you will not think that group itself is a true spirit (Watkins 1957).
