Stephanie Jones (Edison) Democracy
I thought it was funny and horrifying that Prof. Andoscia said Democracy was Greek for “mob rule”. Mobs often make bad decisions. I found a site on the Internet that said Mob Rule means the same as Tyranny of the Majority. A mob claims to speak for all people. Does it? No. This made me think of the story “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson. This is a short but must read. The townspeople had a “herd mentality”. One often goes along with others without making a conscious decision of their own. Many Sociologists have written about this concept (Simmel, Freud, Jung, ect..) I think everyone should read about these concepts so injustices of the past are not repeated.
