People are known to do things in a mob that
they would never dream of doing on their own and would probably feel awful
about afterwards. A typical example is a lynch mob named after the first man to
fire up such a mob to carry out a public execution. What motivates mobs to act as they do? Are
mobs dangerous or not? Do they serve a purpose or do they disrupt daily life
and cause social upheaval? Do your research and write about the causes of this
phenomenon. In your conclusion you may
suggest some solutions and ways to address the issue.
