An agglomeration of men presents new characteristics very different from those of the individuals composing it. the sentiments and ideas of all the persons in the gathering take one and the same direction, and their conscious personality vanishes. a collective mind is formed, doubtless transitory, but presenting very clearly defined characteristics. the gathering has thus become what, in the absence of a better expression, i will call an organized crowd. . it forms a single being . .” which theory describes this quote? a. mass society theory b. public goods dilemma c. tragedy of the commons d. contagion theory

D. Contagion Theory

Explanation:

The Contagion Theory is a theory about the collective behavior of human beings. In short, it holds that the behaviors, ideas or mood of a group of people can be transferred to other individuals, even if those features are unreasonable and inconsistent with the individual's personality or behavior. However, this effect is temporary, because once the individual leaves the crowd, the effect goes away. The theory suggests that the crowd is "contagious": it exerts a hypnotic influence on their members because people have a habit of following the crowd, just like it happens in the quote.

well, paralell is parallel. i am providing links to .

hope this !

a series circuit is one with all the loads in a row. there is only one path for the electricity to flow. if this circuit was a string of light bulbs, and one blew out, the remaining bulbs would turn off.

unlike in series circuits, a charge in a parallel circuit encounters a single voltage drop during its path through the external circuit. the current through a given branch can be predicted using the ohm's law equation and the voltage drop across the resistor and the resistance of the resistor.

a parallel circuit has certain characteristics and basic rules: a parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through. voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit.
