Document Summary
Dst500 - questions to guide week 4 readings: Chapter 1, from dipak gupta"s (2001) book path to collective madness: a study in social. Around 1993, many horrific stories of brutality and violence filtered out of the tormented east european nation. Ethnic cleansing, rape and torture were used as deliberate policies of the various warring factions, modern yugoslavia. These were not isolated groups of people, but ordinary civilians. Germany experienced the same during the holocaust participation of ordinary. Cultural revolution in beijing war between the japanese. Southern united states involvement of ordinary white folk in the murder of blacks. There is a selfless face of collective identity example: mother teresa and her followers who worked in the slums of calcutta. Human minds going over the edge of what we normally uphold as humanity. While the terms genocide" and holocaust" describe a helpless group of victims, collective madness, in contrast, describes a wider spectrum of dysfunctional social behavior.
