After a lot of thinking about what to do for the social psychology project that Mr. Dreier handed to us today, I remebered watching a video that might spark some idea. The "Dancing Man" is a great example of conformity as well as a display of leadership. As the video shows, a guy randomly begins dancing in an open area by himself. Many people look at the man like he's crazy but soon before you realize it, another person joins him. Next thing you know a third person joins, then a couple more, and within minutes there's a whole group of people dancing. This shows conformity and how when the group becomes larger, it seems more logical to conform to the dancing and be a part of the movement. As the video states, it's not the first man that is the true leader, but the person who takes a stand and joins him. Personally, I thought this video was pretty inspiring and uplifting. I'm still hoping it'll give me the opportunity for something to "spark" within my brain so that I can figure out what I'm going to do for this project.
