Class description

Delve back into the fascinating world of crowd psychology through Gustave Le Bon's classic book, "The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind." Written more than 100 years ago, it remains one of the fundamental works on crowd psychology: how people change when they become part of a crowd and how leaders can influence the masses. Learn all about Le Bon's book as we break down the key concepts, look at modern examples of crowd behavior, and discuss what his theories mean for us today. So, whether you are into psychology, sociology, or just curious about how crowds work, this lesson promises a thought-provoking exploration into the collective mind's eye.
