In the classroom, students initially treated the wave with a game attitude. When the activity reached a fairly standard level and many people began to take it seriously, the nature of the activity changed.
The development of the whole activity is analyzed from the activity wave itself.
1. Analysis of the background of the propaganda model of the activity "wave"
: the mechanism of the social "wave" (German historical background)
The principle of communication used:
group communication
First of all, this activity exists in a class, with a group basis (belonging to the basic masses) , in which a core leader (Mr Wengel) was able to determine the main direction of activity (though later out of control), bringing the group closer to a common goal.
Norms—Having the elements of an organization; such as uniform clothing; the etiquette rules within the organization (such as speaking with permission, and standing up to speak); and the adjustment of student seating to enhance the sense of community.
Symbolization - wave logo (wavy icon), clothing (jeans and white shirt), gesture (wavy greeting).
Assignment of responsibilities----Tim took the initiative to undertake the task of establishing a website, and the
means of communication----divided into intra-group communication, consolidating the theme of the activity and group awareness; group communication, and collective rejection of those who did not participate in the activity, Create pressure for inactive members to behave in the herd.
Mass communication (sweeping the whole society) - the act of communication will enhance the group consciousness, and the group consciousness counteracts the communication effect. When more and more people join in, the whole society enters the wave.
The charm of political activity lies in the leadership's appeal and the act of stimulating the cohesion of the masses, so when Reine decided to form a miniature "Third Reich", the behavior of the class was standardized, and in order for them to feel the power of the collective, let them all stand up , stepping, when students realize that just a simple step can attract attention and have unexpected effects, they love the organization more and more, carry out intra-group communication, and subconsciously conduct it in the whole school and even in the time outside the curriculum. Propaganda (the group disseminates information to the outside world), pride is their driving force, and when more and more people join in, the organization consciously develops without the need for the leader, Mr. Wengel, until it gets out of hand.
During the event, leader Reine emphasized seriousness to raise awareness among the group and to convince the event and the leader.
At the end of the movie, Reine wanted to end the event's final speech, which was an unprecedented support. This stemmed from the charm of the speech and the effect achieved by increasing the group consciousness to a certain extent. All individuals were controlled by the group consciousness and forgot themselves. .
2. Character analysis----Tim, the girl in red, Kevin.
Fragment 1 of watching the movie
Character analysis:
① Tim------a loyal supporter of wave activities.
Character background: Middle school students who lack a sense of belonging and security have an essential connection with family reasons. First of all, the character appears to be bullied and risked giving his so-called friend a big bag of marijuana in order to gain a sense of group belonging, a detail that underscores Tim's sense of loneliness.
The process of disseminating input:
Contact - through the classroom, full acceptance without questioning.
Attention-----deeply cooperate with the leader (actively speak), and be more convinced of the organization after being recognized.
Interest----feel the valuable manifestation of oneself in the activity, become the source of the activity,
understand and convince----have an irrational fanaticism about the whole activity, and paint a wave sign on the construction site regardless of the danger of life.
The decision-making behavior—taking the initiative to create a website for Inspur, and voluntarily becoming Mr. Wengel’s bodyguard, and becoming the most loyal supporter of the leader to
strengthen and consolidate—— was greatly encouraged when he was praised by Mr. Wengel.
When Mr. Wengel pulled everyone from the frenzy back to reality, he broke Tim's dream and made him lose his sense of security. After Tim's self-needs were deprived, he acted excessively out of the psychology of self-protection. Pulling the gun demanded that Mr Wenger admit the tide was still there, and when the demands could not be met, commit suicide.
Tim needs activities. Because he is not confident and lonely, he can only gain a sense of security, identity and belonging by integrating into an activity. When all the truth is exposed, the psychological bottom line is broken, and it is unacceptable.
②Girls in clothes (because of the red clothes when they are required to wear white clothes) ------------ Opponents of wave activities.
Character background: Has a good family, has a boyfriend Marco, is the central figure of the drama troupe, and has absolute confidence in himself.
At the beginning, I held a game attitude towards activities, and always remained rational (after the class, I not only found this class interesting, but also found it scary). When they are not uniformly dressed, they are rejected by the group, but because of their self-confidence, they are not influenced by other people's opinions. Even the persuasion of the boyfriend Marcol does not work at all. The application of persuasion theory used by Marco is like When a confident intellectual like the girl in red is not absolutely convincing, let alone the girl in red has a hostile attitude towards the tide at that time and has an immune effect, so it is even more useless.
During the period of opposition to the wave, flyers were used to make more people recognize the nature of the wave activities, and even handed out flyers when there were many people at the competition site, resulting in bloodshed.
③ Kevin----In the early stage, he resisted the activity, but because of group pressure and persuasion from friends around him, he blindly followed this activity.
When Kevin left the class, his friends also joined him, causing his self-identity to plummet. Although I still have negative and skeptical attitudes about this activity, I was forced to obey due to group pressure, and my self-intuition was rejected. Suppression,
in this process, Kevin's friend has a hint and infection spread method for his persuasion, which is effective for him.
