Question

Chip believes that individuals in crowds behave rationally, and thinks crowds are engaging in purposeful behavior and collective action. What sociological perspective is Chip referring to___________?

Answer 1

Answer: Assembling perspective

Explanation:This is a theory that focuses on collective behavior and collective action according to this perspective people feel as if they are acting rationally if they are acting in numbers. For example flash mobs, which occurs when people get involved in an non institutionalised activity because they feel pumped up by the mass of the crowd. Some people collectively adopt the same hairstyles especially teenagers and they will feel that is rational when they are all doing it.
