Answer to Question 1

People engaging in collective behavior may be divided into crowds and masses. A

crowd is a relatively large number of people who are in one another's immediate

vicinity. Examples of crowds include the audience in a movie theater or people at a pep

rally for a sporting event. By contrast, a mass is a number of people who share an

interest in a specific idea or issue but who are not in one another's immediate vicinity.

An example is Facebook, on which people interact and share interests while being

separated geographically.

Answer to Question 2

Collective behavior is voluntary, often spontaneous activity that is engaged in by a large

number of people and typically violates dominant-group norms and values. Unlike

organizational behavior found in corporations and voluntary associations, collective

behavior lacks an official division of labor, hierarchy of authority, and established rules

and procedures. Unlike institutional behavior, collective behavior lacks institutional

norms to govern behavior. Collective behavior can take various forms, including

crowds, mobs, riots, panics, fads, fashions, and public opinion.
