The "Crowds" academic paper written by Williams shows the emotions and behavior of a
crowd in a society. After reading this article, I understand that in a group of people in society,
each group of people will have different types of people.
The main content of the article is about the behavior of people in the crowd. Emotions in
a crowd are completely different. Fear in a crowd can also lead to panic. Every behavior in a
crowd will have similarities and differences and in this crowd, no one knows who I am so I can
do whatever I like.
This article illustrating human behavior and emotions in a crowd greatly intrigued me.
Simply put, in each different crowd, each person has a different emotion, and each person's
behavior will be contagious. For example, on the pedestrian street holding a music festival to
invite singers to sing, all the people in that crowd will be very excited and excited. Sometimes the
emotional behavior of a crowd can lead to friction with each others. When some people in this
crowd do not share the same opinion as others, the crowd is crowded and there are arguments and
sometimes fights. So some people are also very afraid of crowds that do not want to have fun or
approach crowded places. Depending on a crowd, the emotions are often the same, but the
behavior of each person is not the same. People may imitate others by acting strangely or may
say one thing and do another. People don't know what's going on here and just see a lot of people
coming in to watch and follow other people's actions. If in a crowd it was fun it would be
different and if in a crowd it was a fight people would come and stand cheering and cursing each
other. People in the crowd often hide their true faces behind masks so that they do bad things and
devise dangerous tricks to harm others. In the crowd I'm anonymous, no one knows I can do
whatever I like or mess with everything. Today, sociology assumes that all people in a crowd
look at each other and act the same. However, there are still some people who still follow their
ideas and make the story more complicated. Not everyone in the crowd dares to do bad deeds or
do bad deeds according to others.
I have joined several crowds in life. I saw crowds of people just following each other in
gestures and actions. But there are some crowds they share divided into many factions and each
person's different actions cause a lot of friction. I hope these crowds of friction will be less in
society.

The crowd is a psychosocial expression of people before the "herd" behavior. In that
crowd, everyone's behavior is often the same, but their real faces are different. I feel this is a
good article that helps me be aware of a crowd's behavior and emotions.
