Question

How is one person able to influence a crowd? Give examples of how this can be positive and give examples of how this can be negative.

Answer 1

Imagine Hitler. With just himself and his nazi party, he convinced everyone in Germany into starting another world war! This could be a terrible effect as we saw that he dominated Europe if it wasn't for the United States of America.

Now imagine Washington, He led the army into defeating Britain, one of the most feared Country in Europe that dominated Naval situations. He influenced everyone in "developing America" to fight with him.

So one person influences another person by siding with an opinion that is very popular. At the time Hitler was "elected" because He sided with the opinion, "I need food, help me" so he became very popular among a very popular opinion. If you were Hitler and you sided with an opinion, Pollution is bad! we need to get rid of it! No one would side with you because There is a more important opinion of starvation than pollution.

hope this helps!

Answer 2

One person is able to influence a crowd depending on the crowd that they are trying to have a toll on. People usually follow a particular person when they are doing something that they think is cool and/or, causes other people to get to like that person. It is true that this can be positive or negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

Positive: One person in a school dresses with clothes that are within the school rules, unlike everyone else who wears inappropriate black and white clothes, and they start wearing a clothing style similar to the different person's, eventually becoming a trend.

Negative: Someone in school starts skipping school, and others start to do the same.

Hope this helps! :)
