1.1 COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE OVERVIEW With the increasing interest in uneasy adaptive systems, artificial life, swarms and simulatedsocieties, the concept of “collective intelligence” is now getting into focus. The basic idea is that a group of individuals (e.g. people, insects, robots, or softwareagents) can do a work in a way that none of its members can do. Complex, clearly intelligentbehaviour may come out into view from the collaboration created by simple interactions between single persons that
“Today we have something that works in the same way, but for everyday people: the Internet, which encourages public thinking and resolves multiples on a much larger scale and at a pace more dementedly rapid. It is now the world’s most powerful engine for putting heads together” (“Smarter Than you think: How Technology is Changing our Minds for the Better,” The Penguin Press). The Internet has assisted the under thirty generation in working together and gaining understanding of how the world works
intelligent groups of individuals. However, the theory does not predict group behavior and merely reexamines past events and applies a rubric of eight “symptoms” that comprise Groupthink. These eight symptoms include illusions of invulnerability, collective rationalization, belief in inherent morality, stereotyped views of out-groups, direct pressure on dissenters, self-censorship, illusion of unanimity, and self-appointed “mind-guards” (McCauley 1998). Illusion of invulnerability occurs when members
John Heywood once said, “Two minds are better than one”, and this just may be true when people need the best solution to a problem. In Suroweicki’s book, The Wisdom of Crowds, he expresses a common belief that if a group is working towards a mutual goal, than their results will by far surpass those of a single individual. The Law of Averages helps determine a group’s ability to collaborate its ideas into a single outcome, which confirms how Surowiecki’s ideas that a larger group of people can provide
groups truth more thoughtfully. When you combine a learning space with this paradox you create a space in which students will learn their subject, learn to speak their own thoughts about the subject and learn to listen and seek for an ever changing collective wisdom that will ultimately evolve their own thoughts
Forms of Collective/Manipulation States This going into look some collective/manipulation states, this powerful tools that can use create state mind. Each effect groups differently. Crowd manipulation use my group individuals to motivate a crowd. Collective behavior is simply people coming to hypnotic state mind motivate group. Collective consciousness state every individual being aware same object, belief, and ect. These are the three top ones that I focus on. Crows manipulation, collective behavior
According to Jackson (1988), the persistent myth that no real law existed in New Zealand prior to 1840, is a racist and colonising myth used to justify the imposition of ongoing application of law from Britain. Pre-European Maori society regulated behaviour and punished wrongdoings through the sanction of muru. Jackson defines muru as, “a legalised system of plundering as penalty for offences, which in a rough way resembled (the Pakeha) law by which a man is obliged to pay damages” (p.40). Due to

Finally, transcending class, race, or ethnicity is the distortion of history preventing the development of the collective memory.

household chores, employment and even sporting activities. The current research investigated the effect of social loafing on collective and coactive conditions through an experiment which asked participants to complete a brainstorming task asking them to list as many ways to use a pencil as they could. The results indicated that social loafing was non-significant in both collective and coactive conditions. However, group work improved the amount of answers the participants had. The results have important
all, there is a term closely followed with self-interest as we mention, “collective interest” or “altruism”, which means that, “Looking out for other’s welfare.” (Hospers, 39) Analogously, it is totally opposite from the idea of self-interest. Common sense always recognizes that the collective is more important than the individual. A country, which is formed by plenty people, so is more significant than a person. Collective interest has bigger influence than self-interest to the society, as the founder

These organisms thrive on the collective learning and knowledge of; recent and distance successes and mistakes both within and external to the organization. All of which serves as points of learning that provide lesson to be distilled and applied accordingly. The crux to this collective experiential learning, and change for the better, is the feedback-loop. Feedback-loops, as covered throughout our text book
internationally argued topics that gathers so much debate from professors to journalist, journalist, to politicians, and politicians to generals, is known as collective security. The idea of collective security has been around for centuries dating back to the time of the Greeks, however the credit for creating the idea of modern collective security belongs to Woodrow Wilson who coined the theory a couple of years before the beginning of World War I. The theory basically forms the concept that each
the world-wars, through the Balkans, and through every other great conflict that has ever existed but that I am unable to cite, each party was blessed by pure and passionate ambition...ambition to win at whatever cost necessary. Surely only the collective force of ambition found in a battle is liable to cause as much suffering and damage as has been caused by all battles that have ever been lost or won? Even the weakest, most injured warrior who persevered has been touched not by insanity, but by
working in a collective environment. Working in groups is an integral part of everyday life because it happens in almost every context whether it is sports teams, organizational groups, project groups and even juries. Therefore it is important to understand the underlying factors that influence this construct. The current research composed of 20 participants, investigated the social loafing effect of two working conditions: Coactive and Collective. It was hypothesized that collective groups would

Likewise, the help Chihiro receives from other characters essentially derives from the positive collectivism and their empathy towards Chihiro’s situation, in an effort to include her as part of the collective spirit. Interestingly, these characters seem to be alienated from “mainstream society” in the workings of the

and concepts of normalcy. The media tells us who we are and who we should be. Unfortunately, many times the media tells us things that have a major negative impact on individual and collective identity. Without the media, we would see a positive shift in the way people view themselves as individuals and as a collective. From Beethoven, to the rap artists of today, music has developed from classical masterpieces to garbage that glorifies negative behaviour. Rap, or gangster rap as it is commonly
American people, are only exposed to goods or services that we supposedly need, where the need is actually a commodity or want. Instead of focusing our energy on consumption, which seems to be our unexplained constant need to acquire more, we as a collective society, should focus on our long term prolonging of a lifestyle with sacrifice. That sacrificing certain extras could, in a positive way, inspire innovation towards change. That the exposure we encounter, with regard to advertising, could actually
considered as institutions and collectives, (Erskine, 2001) – as institutional actors within the international system. States are made up of individual citizens, and represented by a collective of those citizens, forming different groups and bodies, with a particular group of citizens being their representatives – the government. Moral agency has predominately been assigned to the individual, however, the state can be considered merely a collective of its citizens – a collective of moral agents. States
During this period Le Bon states individuals go through a process called ‘contagion’ which merely means the individual stops acting as they would normally act as an individual and they submerge fully in to the group and start to experience a collective group feeling seen in looting. This behaviour exhibits a primitive barbaric behaviour that is unpredictable, aggressive, dangerous, and unapologetic and above all causes loss of individual rationality. This is not to say every crowd goes through
