Die Welle: Case Teaching and Products of the Times

This film is a good statement of the far-reaching influence of "groups" in the history of human development for world change.

The origin of a group or organization only requires a small number of people, all of whom hold a unified mind, and one person is responsible for the guidance, and the others all obey. Here we regard the group as the number 0, and each person in the corresponding group represents a different number 1.

When everyone in the group influences each other and unifies their thoughts, and after they have achieved initial results by exerting their respective strengths, each 1 will expand the influence of 0 for its own purpose and complete its own values.

There's a big fork in the road here, and it's something Reiner ignores in the film. That is "control". When Reiner originally thought that the temporary "dictatorship" group set up in his own situation was only for teaching purposes, so that everyone could understand all the knowledge points that need to be learned in the boring knowledge, it was the original intention, but he ignored the simple children Infinite magnification possibilities.

If Reiner is in control, the first path can be succinctly called "the right track."
If control is ignored, it evolves into a so-called "reactionary".

The birth of any reaction means that people in an inherent environment cannot endure the living and productive labor under the current system and rules, so they make their own rules and mobilize people to overthrow them together.

Of course, there are not only supporters, but also opponents. Everyone can find their own role in the film.

When an organization goes to extremes without the guidance of leaders, a corresponding chain reaction will inevitably occur, that is, the 1 with stronger self-awareness in the group is further controlled by its own thinking and authority, and more 1s participate in the 0, thereby According to their self-cognition, they plan a belief, convince everyone to believe and pursue this belief, and reach a unified consensus. (The simple understanding of this sentence is that everyone is accustomed to "pyramid sales", "cult" and other forms.

In addition, everyone can clearly see that the people with their own opinions in the Leiner class may only account for 1/1 of the whole class. 10. Most of the rest follow suit. This phenomenon also occupies the same proportion in this world.

That is to say, when several people in the initial group gradually have their own ideology and opinions, and then absorb more people who have no opinion to join the group, the growth of this group is only a matter of minutes.

When opponents are unable to resist a large number of supporters, there will be "conflict incidents", such as the fight in the swimming pool in the film.

When a matter gradually moves towards the end that the public does not agree with, there will inevitably be so-called public opinion and condemnation. When Reiner realized that this matter was going to end there, he did not take into account the balance of every role in the initial group, resulting in one death and one injury at the speech scene.

The original intention of the incident was just that he wanted to make the boring textbooks vivid and popular. I love the last shot more than the one in the poster auditorium. Personally, I understand that Lena never imagined when things would develop to such a terrible point, and then suddenly realized that he had inadvertently created a similar "Nazi" "The same party, but by mistake, he became its leader.

——Of

course, the rapid development of anything in China's "Yi" emphasizes "heaven, earth and man". There is no complete coincidence, nor does it exist completely for granted.

We are actually a part of the "wave" of the current era, but the formation of this wave is deeply rooted and cannot be annihilated. Throughout the history of human development to the present day, there would be no social development history without groups. Even if you are well versed in philosophy, politics and sociology, you cannot fully describe why there are various groups in the world today, and it seems that our current era cannot better explain the perfection of current cognition for this phenomenon answer.
