Why do people in the country like to spectate? God help!

The Chinese people's spectator mentality as seen from the onlookers China has never lacked spectators, not before and not now. As early as eighty years ago, Lu Xun had already portrayed the Chinese people's spectator mentality to the fullest extent. To this day, this phenomenon of spectatorship not only has not disappeared, but has a tendency to become more and more intense. Do not see, on the streets and alleys, a little thing immediately have a large group of onlookers surrounded by the water, and even more, from the home to move to the stool leisurely watching the fun. This is a lively people, people love to watch, like to follow the crowd, the street, where the crowd where to surge, the results achieved "with the flow" of the idiom of the new meaning. A foreign professor did an experiment in China, he let the students sign in. The first student wrote: xxx grade xxx class, name: xxx, student number: xxx. As a result, all the students after him followed this format and wrote up all the xxx grade xxx class. The professor wondered, "I already know which class you are in, so you only need to write me your student number and name, so why does everyone need to write their class on it? In fact, this is the phenomenon of following the trend, which is also known as the phenomenon of following the crowd, social psychology called this for the herd behavior. Looking at the front of the classmates have done so, although I feel as if a bit of a problem, but also do not dare to be new, anyway, everyone is doing so, if the death of everyone holding together to die. Everyone is in such a state of mind, the result is not surprising. Social psychology believes that, in the absence of external control, the process by which individuals are influenced by others to imitate their words and actions and to make their own words and actions the same or similar to them, is one of the important forms of interpersonal influence in society. According to Tarde, imitation must be realized through three processes: reciprocity, opposition and adaptation. He points out that any universal social phenomenon starts out as individual, unrepresentative and temporary, and only gradually develops into a universal, representative and relatively long-lasting social phenomenon as a result of people imitating it many times and repeatedly. According to Mead, the mastery of social roles and behaviors is acquired by imitating the roles, words and deeds of others, thus imitation plays an important role in people's individual socialization. China has more than 5000 years of traditional culture, under the influence of the traditional "imperial" thought, people are good at observing words and learning to imitate others and follow the rules, thus creating the strange phenomenon of following the trend. Lu Xun once said: "In China, especially in the city, if the road has a violent illness fell to the ground, or overturned the car injured people, passers-by to watch or even happy people, there are willing to reach out to help a person is very little." Why? We can find the reason from the social psychology, social psychology, triggered by the herd behavior only two reasons: one is the normative influence, the normative influence is to "keep in line with the group" to avoid rejection, to get people's acceptance, or to get people's appreciation, and the second is the influence of the information, the influence of the information comes from the other people for their own to provide factual evidence from others. The cost of deviation can force people to support what they don't believe, or at least to suppress their opposing views. Commonly speaking, it is the mentality that is at fault, when everyone is watching the fun, even if there are one or two sympathetic people do not dare to take the first step easily, they are afraid of gossip, they can not pass their own psychological hurdle, because the first to eat crabs really need a lot of courage. Therefore, Lu Xun lamented that "the masses, especially in China, are always spectators of the drama. Sacrifice on the stage, if it seems generous, they watched the tragic drama; if it seems frightened (i.e., trembling with fear), they watched the burlesque." One or two of this phenomenon is not scary, the scary thing is the chain reaction caused by this, it will bring about the apathy and numbness of the whole society. I can't imagine what a society without love becomes. When everyone is accustomed to indifference and numbness, when everyone sees others and does not see the time, it causes not only the panic of everyone's own danger, and the value of the existence of this society to ask.
