Answer to Question 1

To better understand the dynamics of collective behavior, three areas need to be addressed:

(1) Some environmental activists have found that they cannot get their point across unless they go outside established institutional patterns and organizations. Some situations are more conducive to collective behavior than others. When people can communicate quickly and easily with one another, spontaneous behavior is more likely. When people are gathered together in one general location they are more likely to respond to a common stimulus.

(2) People's attitudes (as expressed in public opinion surveys, for example) are not always reflected in their political and social behavior.

(3) Sociologists Ralph Turner and Lewis Killian note, people believe that there is strength in numbers. People may act as a collectivity when they believe it is the only way to fight those with greater power and resources.

Answer to Question 2

True

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved.
