SOCC03H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Collective Behavior, Social Forces
Document Summary
Midterm: goode chapter 1 to page 38, chapter 2 to page 73, chapter 3, locher. Midterm is 5-8 short answer questions (some shorter than others) Very specific questions, feel free to write in first person. Cover all lectures and readings: define collective behaviour, spontaneous, unstructures, institutional. Second part going to give a scenario and ask if the scenario is collective behaviour or more specifically if it has a high contact of collective behaviour. Relatively spontaneous unstructured extra institutional behaviour of a fairly large number of individuals. No, because it is a conventional behaviour, there is nothing really spontaneous, you are part of a crowd and a group but it is not collective behaviour. What happens if there is an accident, and people ran from their car, this would be collective behaviour. This is spontaneous, there is a type of structure to it, the structure is often time chaos, it can be institutionalize and there can be institutional responses.
