So, my Social Psychology professor decided to give us some examples of how the subject applies to the real world. What were these examples, you ask?
- Abu Ghraib
- "Groupthink" as it relates to the evidence of WMD in Iraq
- Claiming that President Bush and patriotism were popular after 9/11 because mortality makes us protective of our leaders and our group, then saying that Bush "used the 9/11 images" (or something along those lines) to increase his popularity
This should be a fun class.
