My reviews about The Crowd:A Study of the Popular Mind

Hot 4328 views. 2017-9-11 19:37

This summer vacation, I read a book named The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind. It was written by Gustave Le Bon, a famous psychologist in France.

The author describes collective mentality delicately in this book, and his book exerts a great influence on people's understanding of collective behavior and the thinking of social psychology.

On my part, this book is beneficial to our life. As the author's points of view reminds me of the independent opinions that are important. No matter what happens, we need have our own perspective instead of following the crowd. It is vital but difficult to become an independent man, therefore we need always make self-examination and just in this way can we become a better man.

In today's society, it is very rare to be able to keep a relatively independent rational thought. If critical thinking has never been valued, or even wiped out, civilization will remain stagnant for ever. The world needs more different voices!

Just like what we have learnt from our textbook,“Popularity was not so important; running with the crowd was no longer a law of survival.". At the moment, be independent is more significant. After all, the one that we can rely on is only ourseves.

I remember a sentence“A man must have several small worlds, if one of them fall down,there is another place to go.”.The collective mentality is important, but it is equally important to maintain one's individuality in the collective. Each person is individual and has its personality.

Sometimes, we feel lonely because we are different from other people. However, when we follow the crowed, we lose ourselves. So it's hard to be yourself, but you need to keep it up.

I can not agree with any more!As a famous saying goes,every coin has two sides,everything has advantage and disadvantage,no matter what ,we need keep our dialectical thinking instead of being a follower.

Yeah! It is better depend on oneself than ask for help from others.Whatever we do, whether we bet with the herd or against, thinks it through independently first.
