[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 1680495, member: 239"] Partially true. Character is an individual characteristic. However, man is a social animal and more often than not the group dynamic overrides the individual. Think lynch mobs, the influence of the media on group think, how the democrats use class warfare. Ever wonder why an otherwise rational man would charge a machine gun nest (and being ordered to is only a very small part of the why). Think peer pressure in schools. Think a typical workplace with 30 or 40 employees in a department. As individuals most are qualified, competent and responsible adults. As a group they invariably have the same group dynamic as children in a family. They all compete for the Boss' attention just as children do with Mom/Dad. They whine and pout about the same things children do and respond favorably to the same type of positive attention that children do. Yet when they're outside the group they revert right back to being competent and responsible adults. Never, ever underestimate the power of the group to influence it's member's behavior. Hell - the power of the group can even be seen here on OSA if one reflects on it a bit. It's all about group dynamics, my friend, all about group dynamics. [/QUOTE]
