I think that being in a crowd changes the way you act because you might be trying to impress someone, so you try to act cool. Even if you're not trying to impress someone, you would want to impress people that are just walking by. If some thing bad happens, like in Monster Are Due On Maple Street, if you are alone you would probably hide in your basement. But in a group, you would try to face the problem.
So in a group, I say that you become alomost a different person.

Being in a crowd of people or of anything for that matter can make people restless. They can get agitated and start to form more of a mob like crowd. People can build of of each others ideas and frustrations. So even if the idea isnt a good one it might just be what ends up happening. People can get all up in the fun of being in a crowd that it distracts them from what is the best choise.

Being in a crowd affects people in some different ways. One of them is as it was shown in "Monsters Are Due On Maple Street" that if someone in the crowd says something then everyone will start to believe it. Just like how Tommy said that there were aliens among them and that everyone started thinking about who it might be. Also being in a crowd can affect you if there are a lot of people that you can all gang up on one person but then they may all turn on you also like in "Monsters Are Due On Maple Street" when they are all thinking that Les Goodman is the alien among them and then everybody starts thinking that it is different people when the lights in their houses turn on.

Being in a croud changes the way people think in the following ways: One way, is if one person says something, the other people in the croud automaically start to agree with the person, whether what they said was good or bad. A second way, is that if someone thinks a person is guitly for some reason, and they gang up on that person, everybody follows. In conclusion, in a croud, usually people agree with what other people say.

i think that being in a crowd can affect the way people act because sometimes, your feelings and influenced by people around you and expecting you to agree with what they believe about something they say or do, and you feel pressured to decide for yourself what information is wrong and whats right.

I think being in a crowd changes the way you act by what other people think. Some people will start believing what one person says because what they say sounds logical. Being in a crowd also can make you do things you usually wouldn't do.

I think when people are in a crowd they act different. I think they act different becuase they might show off. You can comppare how dogs act in a pack of dogs. When dogs are togeather it brings out a bad side. They are annoying and louder. I think in some cases the same case alpys for humans. Some might show off, and some might get quiet.
