Group Behavior/ Diffuse Responsibility

Abstract: A 5 page essay that examines the tendency in people to follow the example being set by a group. Referring to an article by Carol Tavris, the writer argues that this instinctive behavior pattern appears to apply even when the behavior being sanctioned by the group goes against common sense, or what is considered by society to be common decency. No additional sources cited.
