French psychologist G. Le Bon's classic work, "The Psychology of Nations and Crowds," explores the psychology of large social groups. It was Le Bon who first formulated the laws of behavior in organized crowds. He wrote that people in a crowd "develop new qualities they did not possess before." In this case, an individual "acquires a consciousness of irresistible force, and this consciousness allows him to succumb to instincts he would never give free rein to when alone." Le Bon explains this by the fact that, firstly, "the crowd is anonymous and therefore bears no responsibility. The sense of responsibility, which always restrains individuals, completely disappears in a crowd." Secondly, in a crowd, "every feeling, every action is contagious, and to such a degree that the individual very easily sacrifices his personal interests to the collective interest." The third characteristic of an individual in a crowd, according to the author's observations, is that "he becomes susceptible to suggestion, an automaton with no will of his own." For psychologists, sociologists, political scientists, and anyone interested in the patterns of social consciousness.
