Q.3] Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below: f 10 Marks]
A man or woman makes a direct contact with society in two ways: as a member of some familial professional or religious group, or as a member of a crowd. Groups are incapable of being as moral and intelligent as the individuals who form them: a crowd is chaotic, has no purpose of its own, and is capable of anything except intelligent action and realistic thinking. Assembled in a crowd, people loose their powers of reasoning and their capacity for moral choice. Their suggestibility is increased to the point where they cease to have any judgment or a will of their own. They become very excitable; they loose all sense of individual or collective responsibility. They are subjected to sudden excesses of rage, enthusiasm and panic. In a word, a man in a crowd behaves as though he had swallowed a large dose of some powerful intoxicant. He Ls a victim of what I have called herd poisoning'. Herd poison is an active, extravagant drug. The crowd intoxicated individual escapes from responsibility, intelligence and morality into a kind of frantic, animal mindlessness.
