Project:
The
Case for Contagion
1. Review these examples & make the case that
"contagion" was a factor;
i.e., these people were not
responsible for their behavior because they were swept up the emotions
of others &/or themselves.
a. People rioting after a sports loss, i.e. Denver
loses the Superbowl, & Denverites go on a rampage.
b. People in Spain seeing the hands of a statue
bleed.
c. People tearing the clothes off a celebrity.
2. Give as many examples of contagion as you can
& make the case that the people in these cases were not responsible
for their own behavior
