Contagion theory argues that crowds have a hypnotic effect on individuals, causing them to act in ways that they ordinarily would not. Do you agree or disagree with this theory? Why or why not? Do you think that one of the other theories presented better describes collective behavior?

Individualism is lost

Explanation:

During an organized crowd it is usually found that individuals are less likely to respond as single individuals and they are more likely to move as a crowd. In these instances. The pressure of whatever moral standing or belief that they hold are lost to the movement of the crowd. These persons ignore their own feelings in the process.    

Other theories of collective behaviour is the mob, crowd and riot theory. All these categories are justified in their own right to explain the mechanisms of the organization, execution and dissolution of these individuals.

if interdependence implies a two-way dependence, and if each partner is equally dependent on the other for success, then there is an equal commitment to the making the partnership successful. the advantage is sustainability of the relationship, the disadvantage is that decisions are "democratic" and therefore may take longer to reach and more likely to be a compromise (which is not always the best solution). as the interdependence moves away from equality, the decisions become more influenced by the more independent partner. in the extreme the relationship becomes more dictatorial and more like "master-slave". generally the relationship has less commitment in both directions and is more likely to be temporary.

if one generalizes (and one shouldn't), equity partnerships, which is probably what is implied by interdependence, can be slow to progress or change but durable. the extreme alternative, independent-dependent partnerships tend to be efficient but more fragile.

hope this but you will have to site your own evidence. : )
