...One layer of complexity on top of what you wrote:<br /><br />GROUPS can either increase or decrease the moral nature of the individual group members. I've seen individual men or women act perfectly civil on their own but, when with a group (sometimes but not always fueled by alcohol), I've seen them become aggressive and dangerous to any lone person not in the group. How many times have we heard about a whole schoolbus full of athletes accused of attacking one kid on the bus? Why do police fear crowds so much? Hazing at colleges is almost always done by groups, not by individuals.<br /><br />As Agent K put it: "A *person* is smart. *People* are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."<br /><br />So the other lesson we need to teach children is to be aware of what kinds of groups they're with and to ask the question: would I do this if I was alone?James Mendurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01826225269754674252noreply@blogger.com
