[| updated violence.ppt][|updated violence.ppt]--this is just updated today, 5-28, by scott and meredith. add to this. [|violencehp.ppt] ok... this is the ppt. with andrew's slides and updated biblio. so jessica.. use this one.( i didn't delete the others because i didn't know if you needed them.!!) when you're done just e-mail this to S+C
 * Scott and Meredith..do you have the previous powerpoint. I had slides on there and so did ANdrew. There are now missing. We worked on those for two days? Please if you have them get them loaded into this powerpoint. Ms Stanford has looked everywhere. They are not on the K drive or here on this page!!!**

Apparently me and andrew combine have slides on the exact some thing seeing with all the confusion with the lost files. Oh well.

History Students - non violent protest v. violent mob - choose two other times when mob mentality won/lost and describe. Psych Students - assess non-violent & violent protest with social psych terms, including group polarization, in group bias, deindividuation, etc.

__**Scott:**__ Deindividuation is when people feel anonymous in a group and act as they would not normally act. Examples of this include: the 1992 riots in California, the Pacers-Pistons brawl, police force used against Rodney King, or any riot at all. In group bias is when people discriminate against people who they believe are not in their own group or give treatment to people that are in their own group. Nationalism and racism are examples of in group bias because the people give special treatment to people in their group and discriminate against people in other groups. Group polarization occurs when a person's personal beliefs become more extreme when in a group of people with the same beliefs. For instance, when people attend a political rally or anti-abortion protest, their beliefs become more extreme the longer they stay in that particular environment.


 * __Meredith:__** During the civil rights movement, anti-Vietnam protest and U.S. urban riots the wanted to have deindividuation. Also deindividuation is doing something that you normally wouldn't do in a group of people. Another psychology term that refers to violence, or could become violent is Group Think. It is when you make a decision to please the entire group. Therefore, the act could end violent if one person would step up and decide for them and get them believing and following through with his/her decision.

A website that i was looking at briefly was: http://www2.uni-jena.de/svw/igc/seminars/Thematic%20Seminar/Jena%20Crowd%20Conflict%20Teaching%20Plan%20and%20Reading%20List%20(Drury%202007).doc Don't know if it will be any help but some information was okay...


 * __Jessica:__** Just so you guys know i will not be working on this page during thursday and friday school hours because of senior events. So it might appear to you guys that im not doing much. However, I will be doing as much as i can at home those afternoons to try and keep up with everyone. Just bear with me please.

__**Scott:**__ Deindividuation can be seen in both groups depicted in this picture. The police act more harshly than they would normally be expected to behave because they feel anonymous in the huge riot. The civilians rebel and push the envelope because they feel anonymous in the massive group as well. Since they are anonymous and feel that they will not be punished, their behavior becomes more extreme and rash. http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/images/2007/0416/frontpageimage.jpg

We could also use this picture to show in group bias: http://i.cnn.net/si/2003/sioncampus/09/24/100_things0930/lg_duke.jpg

Andrew: http://bbs.gter.net/bbs/thread-662464-1-1.html Part of this page is in chinese but just scroll down a bit and the it starts in English, this article can possible be helpful for the psychology part of the project.. possibly. history book: Throughout the civil rights movement African Americans used non-violent protests to earn equal rights not only to the government but to the people of their communities. example of this during the civil right movement would be the montgomery but boycott (african americans quit riding buses to protest the treatment of Rosa Parks), the Greensboro lunch counter (4 students sat in a woolworth's lunch counter; they weren't allowed food but they were allowed to sit in the restaurant). In contrast there were many violent mobs. In the Little Rock incident 9 black students were not allowed to attend the Little Rock Central Highschool by the governer of little rock. the students were blocked by the army and were not allowed in the school. later Eisenhower had the national gaurd keep the students safe from the MOBS of angry parents and students.

Jessica: ok. yeah. I know that at this moment im appearing to be of pretty much no help at all, Im sorry. To be honest, im so incredibly lost on this whole project. i dont know what im suppose to be doing and im so lost on why history kids have to do non history powerpoint slides and how do we put a multi-person power point together? It is all so confusing to be! I am trying though, I promise that i will have my part done on time. I just got so much work to do that im completly stressing with senior exams about to start and my CNA test this friday. Its just crazy.

Meredith: I added onto the powerpoint that Scott started..from my understanding pretty much every page has to have a picture with it. if the history students could add some other things in history to represent that would be great. there is civil rights and rodney king riots so far. if there is anything i can help with psychology wise let me know.

Jessica: I have finally done some work. it is not much but i think ill be able to find more stuff to go with. Im going to try and get more history stuff with the power of the internet soon to help you out. i need group bias psyche info. I also started the works sited page but i HAVE NOT properly cited as of yet.


 * __Scott:__** Alright I put my and Meredith's work on the same powerpoint. Whenever you do something for the ppt just open the updated violence ppt at the top and click save when it gives you the option. Then add your stuff and save it as whatever you want and add it to the page. Remember to cite using APA format and when you use a picture just put the hyperlink underneath it. Add your names to the title page too. Good luck.

Meredith: I added more to the powerpoint. i made a summary of the history things that we used, thats what ms c. told me to do. good luck and i guess that jessica or andrew is supposed to send it to the teachers. hope it goes well. nice working with you guys.

Andrew: my slides have been deleted... i think that i didn't delete the previous file and then i save mine and someone else clicked the one i hadn't edited and then deleted the "old" files. so i get to do mine once again... YES!!!

andrew: Luckily i had my slides save so i will resave the ppt with mine on it...
