Unit 1 Project (Critic’s point of view)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) Mob mentality is all about finding a common bond in a group in order to destroy anything that does not fit in our mold. At the end, he announces to a roaring crowd, “I am Canadian!” This is an example of mob mentality in that he was forming a bond with the Canadian audience by nothing but offensive stereotypes of their culture.

TCS: Tech Central Station - Mob Mentality   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) Mobs of young males do not fight for a reason; they fight for turf. You may fire at the mob, or scare it off temporarily, but you cannot appease its collective hatred -- it will simply lie dormant until it sees a new chance to express its fury against those it sees as the intruder. The hatred of the mob is the most primordial form that hatred of an enemy can take, and it exhibits the most horrendous lack of compassion imaginable -- the massacres at Fallujah witness this fact. www.techcentralstation.com /042804D.html   (660 words)

Last check: 2007-10-09) Mob mentality as defined by Google is a hive mind (sometimes spelled hivemind) is a form of collective consciousness strongly exhibiting traits of conformity and groupthink.

Detailing the mob mentality - The Boston Globe Even Hoover, who hesitated to tackle mob cases because they were difficult to win and might corrupt his agents, grudgingly came around. If they are to prosper again, all five of New York's mob families (the Gambinos, Luccheses, Colombos, Genoveses, and Bonannos) must first rebuild their leadership. But in ''Five Families," he notes that ''Ragano's assertions are among the starkest signs implicating Mafia bosses in the death of President Kennedy." To buttress his theory, Raab might have mentioned that the Mafia was at or near the apex of its power in 1963, the year of Kennedy's murder. www.boston.com /ae/books/articles/2005/09/04/detailing_the_mob_mentality   (1042 words)

Mob Mentality - Street Chopper Magazine This plan of attack was exactly what the crew at Mob Choppers in Ontario, California, had in mind when they decided to open a shop. Mounted to the front wheel is a CCI rotor with a Billet Concepts caliper cinching down on it, while out back, the Mob team outfitted the rear wheel with one of its drive-side brake/pulley/license mount assemblies.

Politics | Media mob mentality Yesterday the mob turned its ire on Cherie Blair, accusing her of remarks about the Middle East that she did not make either. The pattern is one of abandonment of journalistic reporting standards, of poor judgment and lack of objectivity. Most serious of all, it is beginning to seem like a pattern of mindless media mob rule against an elected government. politics.guardian.co.uk /print/0,3858,4436441-107865,00.html   (400 words)

"The mob mentality" from the sassy lawyer's journal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) Truth of the matter is, the mob did not put her in power.

Guardian Unlimited Technology | Technology | Mob mentality The good definition is that the Smart Mob is a group of people who use the internet and/or mobile communications to organise collective action. I named the book Smart Mobs purposely, as "mobs" can also have a sinister connotation and I didn't want to just give the idea that utopia is at hand. I also use a blog aggregator and look at about 100 blogs, such as Joho or Boing Boing, which is a source of great political information but also wild pop culture stuff. technology.guardian.co.uk /online/story/0,3605,1191673,00.html   (1272 words)

Justin's Iraq Trip Journal - The Mob Mentality - The Mob Mentality Since we had been told that it would be first come, first serve on the riser at the event, a mob of people rushed to the door, pushing and shoving ensued, people were yelling, it was ugly.

Art Mobs - Can an online crowd create a poem, a novel, or a painting? By Clive Thompson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) Mobs have been getting unusually good press these days. The only partially successful picture was a goat: At around 4,000 votes, it looked pretty goatlike, and at 5,000 votes the mob revised it to make the horns curvier. Mobs, real mobs, on the other hand, are usually much more complex than they look. slate.msn.com /id/2104087?GT1=4581   (1777 words)

The Hindu : Mob mentality One of the profoundly disturbing features of the whole business was that parents brought their young children along, some of them in their prams, holding up placards with such slogans as: "Kill the pervs" and "Don't house them, hang them". They did not support the mob, but the Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott, endorsed the call by the Leader of the Opposition, William Hague, for a change in the law to enable paedophiles to be jailed for life. There can be no case in a civilised society, however, for the kind of witch hunt that was staged by the Portsmouth mob, and there must be deep concern about the example which members of such a mob set to their children by encouraging them to take part. www.hinduonnet.com /2000/08/27/stories/13270613.htm   (655 words)

Children, the family and the lynch-mob mentality   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) The gutter press has encouraged a lynch-mob mentality in its readers. They have ignored all evidence that these young men have accepted responsibility for the murder and feel remorse and sorrow for the event, that they have been thoroughly rehabilitated and are intelligent and well educated young adults and so could, in the best of worlds, reintegrate themselves into the community. The lynch-mob mentality of the gutter press and many ordinary people has been fuelled by government policy and statements. www.labournet.org.uk /so/47bulger.html   (1212 words)

Wired News: Prof Pursued by Mob of Bloggers While right-wing bloggers and websites have been particularly adept at using the net to push an agenda, liberal groups are catching up fast. In the last few weeks, conservative mob targets have included those involved in the CBS scandal (Dan Rather, producer Mary Mapes, Bill Burkett) and Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry, who was scrutinized for reaching into his pocket at the first debate. Liberals led by Media Matters for America succeeded in knocking pollster Frank Luntz off MSNBC by highlighting his Republican ties and are currently insisting that Fox News correspondent Carl Cameron be pulled from the campaign beat for making up Kerry quotes that got posted on the news outlet's website. www.wired.com /news/politics/0,1283,65250,00.html   (704 words)

Community psychology It is the study of how to use the principles of psychology to create communities of all sizes that promote mental health of their members.

This American Life | Mob Mentality   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) and the terror of being in a rampaging, angry mob.

ESPN.com - The Mob mentality is rare A $50 buy-in tournament, featuring a $500 first prize and $100 bounties on the three Mobsters, had been arranged for media types who, it was hoped, would be willing to help publicize the Monte Carlo Millions.

In the end, to be honest, I felt like the American version of the little match girl, nose pressed up against the window, watching the Hendon Mob play poker in front of the fire on Christmas Eve. sports.espn.go.com /espn/print?id=1890371&type=story   (2018 words)

Mob Mentality   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) Chickering points out that early in life (circa WWI), Mann was in full support of the conquest of Europe by Germany's 'Kultur,' but his later works indicate a change of mind. In "Doctor Faustus," there is a passage where he talks about the strange thing that happens to a people when they call themselves the "Volk." In short, they turn from people into a mob. I think this bears a distinct connection to recent scholarly works pointing out the role of ordinary Germans (as opposed to SS and Gestapo) in Hitler's Final Solution (i.e. faculty.plattsburgh.edu /doug.skopp/his324a2000f/_cldisc/00000035.htm   (232 words)

ESPNMAG.com - ESPN The Magazine: Mob Mentality Early this season, he lent Udonis Haslem a copy of Underboss, thinking that his star center, a mafia buff, would enjoy the story of how Sammy "The Bull" Gravano snitched on John Gotti to protect the honor of the mob. After the 6'9", 246-pound bruiser devoured the book in one sitting, he started to live his life by its code.

Mob Mentality: Why Intellectuals Love The Sopranos [Free Republic] Moral relativism may be pervasive, particularly in elite institutions, but catching the bad guys and meting out their harsh, but just, deserts remains a staple of countless films, television shows, and popular fiction. Your dad got protection for you through mob terror, but he had to sacrifice his integrity (turn a blind eye to other crime) to do it.

Wren's Nest - Article Detail The blog-mob mentality is a misconception...apparently, it sounded good to the author at the time. It's the mob mentality that's at issue; what blogging, bloggers, or blogs have to do with that, I'm not sure, except as a means to stir up the already half-shaken. The mob has always ruled here, only it went under the name of vigilante justice-- and it didn't distinguish between guilty or innocent, hanging or shooting both in a vengeful circus like atmosphere. www.witchvox.com /wren/wn_detail.html?id=12389   (2475 words)

Mob Mentality in a Southern Community? [Free Republic] The 911 operator began to upbraid the elderly man, screaming at him that he had shot a 13-year-old boy, and assuring Eidelbach that he would be safe when the police arrived. The media ran stories of Brook's mother, weeping and calling for revenge on this murderous old man. Not one statement in the print media or on television identified what the boys had done as TRESPASS; unanimously the term "'wandered' [innocently] into a junk yard" was adopted by all. The only factor that changed was the 'mob mentality' that the Volusia County community had dusted up with the original trial. www.freerepublic.com /forum/a39f04b796109.htm   (2841 words)

Iris Krasnow, an Annapolis, Md., author and mother who said she and some friends launched the group after President Bush's declaration of victory in Iraq, chose a woman she calls "Mob mama supreme" as the star for the group's debut ad.

Mob mentality by Russell Brown | New Zealand Listener Why hundreds of geeks might be converging on your local Scout hall some time soon. However much it excited cyber-psychologists, the "flash mob" phenomenon didn't endure – largely, one would suspect, because it was so pointless.
