I'm keen on your six minute podcasts because they are so informative and I get really helpful words and expressions from them!

the cover is magnificent and unique i’m impressed

Hello. This is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English. I’m Sam. And I’m Neil. There was a huge crowd of people waiting at the train station this morning, Neil. When the train finally arrived, everyone rushed in and I couldn’t find a seat! I hate crowds! But you love going to the football match on Saturday... Ah, that’s different - more like a big group of friends... Well, whether it’s sporting events, train stations or political protests, crowds - that's large groups of people who gather together for a shared activity, are a feature of life. For some, crowds create feelings of excitement and a sense of community, while for others they feel uncomfortable, confusing, or even dangerous. So why is that? In this programme, we’ll be discussing the role of crowds in modern life, asking why they evoke different reactions in people. And, as usual, we’ll be learning some new vocabulary as well. But first, I have a question for you, Neil. The biggest crowd in history happened in 2019 when over 200 million people gathered in the northern Indian city of Allahabad. But what did so many people come together for? Was it: a) a cricket match b) a religious festival or c) an election? Well, I know Indians love cricket, but I doubt 200 million people would fit into a stadium! I’ll guess it’s c) an election. OK, Neil. We’ll find out the answer later in the programme. People gathering for a cricket match, or a music concert are usually happy events. But crowds can have a darker side as well - they can become out of control and sometimes even violent. Here’s, psychologist, Professor John Drury, discussing this idea with, Anand Jagatia, presenter of the BBC World Service programme, appropriately named, CrowdScience. When people get together in a crowd, they regress psychologically, their thinking is more primitive, they become more gullible, and that's also associated with the supposed tendency towards violence as well. But according to John, the idea of mob mentality, that people in crowds are irrational and prone to destructive behaviour, just isn't backed up by research. One view is that when people get together in a crowd, they become irrational. Psychologically speaking, they regress - they return to a less advanced, more primitive way of behaving. They may also become more gullible, an adjective meaning easily tricked or willing to believe everything someone says. Connected to this is the phrase mob mentality - the tendency of people in a group to behave in the same way as others in the group rather than as individuals. In crowds, people may do things they would never do alone, like steal or use violence. But according to Professor Drury, in reality it’s not mob mentality and violence, but rather feelings of safety and togetherness that actually characterise crowds. And according to Dr Anne Templeton, another expert on crowd psychology from the University of Edinburgh, that’s especially true when you identify with the other people in a crowd. Here is Dr Templeton explaining more to BBC World Service programme, CrowdScience. The more people feel like they are part of a group with others in the crowd, the more enjoyable experience they have. There's a correlation between having that social identification and feeling safer. So, often if we feel like we are in a group with others, we expect them to look after us. The flip side of that is when you don't feel as much part of the group, and you're not having a positive experience. Dr Templeton thinks there is a correlation - that’s a connection, or a link - between being among people who share your values, and feeling safe. Football fans cheer their team on by wearing the same colours, and singing the same songs, and this works as a kind of glue, bonding the crowd together and making them feel safe. The disadvantage of this, however, is when you don’t feel part of the crowd you’re with. Dr Templeton calls this the flip side - the opposite, less good or less pleasant aspects of something. In today’s world, crowds are important because of the feeling of power they give us. It’s one thing sitting alone shouting at the news on television, but it’s something else altogether to march on a political protest with hundreds of demonstrators, feeling that together you could change the world. Maybe that’s what everyone was doing in 2019, Sam? Right, in my quiz question I asked you why 200 million people gathered in the Indian city of Allahabad in 2019. I guessed it was to vote in an election. Was I right? You were wrong, I’m afraid, Neil! In fact, the biggest crowd in history had gathered for a Hindu religious festival, the Kumbh Mela, which 220 million people attended over fifty days. OK, let’s recap the vocabulary we’ve learned from this programme on crowds - large numbers of people who gather together for a shared reason. To regress means return to less advanced, more primitive behaviours. Regress is the opposite of ‘progress’. Someone who is gullible is easily tricked, and will believe anything people say. The phrase, mob mentality describes the tendency of people in a group to behave in ways that conform with others in the group rather than as individuals. A correlation is a connection or a link between two things. And finally, the flip side of something means those aspects of it which are less obvious, good, or pleasant. The flip side of this programme is that, once again, our six minutes are up! Bye for now! Bye bye!

The biggest crowd in northern India,city Allahabad(now prayagraj) was held in 2019 at the event of a kumbh mela( Indian religious fair) which is held at every 11years gapping... It's sign of people devotion and their unity...

Great session, love this

Thank you for providing such an informative lesson on Crowd. From this lesson, I came to know that in 2019, over 200 people got together for a khumb mela. It is an interesting fact that I never know before. politicians need the crowd to address the issue or attract the audience during the election.

Thanks, BBC My summary while listening Today's topic mainly discusses crowds - huge groups of people gather for a shared activity which is considered a feature of modern life. For some, they feel a sense of community and excitement when being together with others. For others, it can be quite uncomfortable, confusing, or sometimes dangerous. According to Professor John Drury, a psychologist, there is an idea that when people get together in a crowd, they tend to be gullible, regress, and react in a more primitive way which is associated with the supposed tendency towards violence. This is often known as mob mentality. Dr. Anne Templeton, an expert in crowd psychology, adds that the more we feel that we're part of the group, the more enjoyable the experience of togetherness is. Therefore, there is a correlation between having social identification and feeling safer. However, the flip side of that is when you don't feel you're part of the group so you don't have a positive experience.

HI I'm from Uzbekistan Thank you so much. I have already understand all audios. I Have enjoyed💙📚. Thank you

I think being in crowd have bad and good sights. The positive thing is when u feel upset and bad-tempered the crowd can help. U pay attention to another aspects of your life. Bad sight in my opinion is being less individuals, acted like the same group of person. It has their power i agree. The crowd can change our history and it changed

love so much

Love from India.

Yes...

mob mentality: tendency to behave in ways that conform with others in group prone to: having a tendency to do sth regress: (opposite with progress) to return to primitive or worse state gullible: easily to believe others people say irrational: not logical or reasonable The crowd evokes different reactions to each individual. It is undeniable that everything has two sides and yes apart from having a sense of community in case you have positive feeling with the group you're with. The dark side of the crowd will definitely make you feel lonely if you're not correlated with people in group by regressing psychologically your behaviors, you're gullible and prone to make irrational decisions by being susceptible to others saying for mob mentality. That's what I have gained from the video. Thank you guysss

Crowds also can remove stupid governments. Immediately :) . That is why we need to stay together and stay strong.

Today some of us need to be more alone, it is not an illness or a condition of social isolation , it turns out this was really an option we're after !

I mostly like to being alone because I'm an introvert 😄😄😄

Many people from Uzbekistan,

The flip side of online learning is that you don’t get to see your fellow English learners in person.

Thank you BCC Btw who wanna be practicing English with me

🥰🥰😊😊😊

All things were not good as it seems, there was a flip side of it, so some people who are in group couldn't act like in mobile mentalitiy and they refused to be gullible person in the group. They felt lonely in result of it
