Over the course the last couple weeks we have been working on honing and developing our ideas for our final paper. I have been working on my annotated bibliography to better have a concrete understanding of the topic before writing my paper. Currently we are working on writing a thesis statement for the paper,
Throughout the course of human existence every memorable event in history has been ignited by a crowd of like-minded individuals. Riot theory predicts how people think and this can be examined on the basis of mob mentality, riot culture and the snowball effect.

My thesis statement I am looking at prediction of behavior and I think by looking at the history of why people do things it could be very important in finding the right answers

Hunter, Justine.”How Riots May Help Us Understand School Shooters.” Morning Edition, October 13, 2015. Opposing Viewpoints in Context (accessed February 24, 2019).
This is a modern article that is relevant to what is happening in the world today and I think because of that it would be helpful when looking at my topic
This citation was useful for understanding the practicality of riot theory and how it can be applied two other instances in the world. This specific citation covers the dynamic of how the theory is ever-changing and can be evolved over time. This article covers an interview hosting a professor of psychology and the broadcaster. The interview goes into how this premise of thought can be applied to school shootings. And how people think and why that leads them to committing crimes. This is helpful because if the idea can be applied to topics like school shootings, it can also be applied to how to act and interact in the city.

This is a book published in 2001 talks about investments and training. But in doing so discusses ideas of how crowd psychology can help someone trade and make better decisions. Being able to look at this is crucial for understanding what people think and behave, being able to apply the overall topic of thought patterns and behavior to be able to apply this thought process to an already existing career such as investments can really help someone understand this idea better as a hole.
Doyle, John.
“Canadian Idol relies heavily on mob psychology.” Globe & Mail [Toronto, Canada], 9 June 2003, p. R2. Opposing Viewpoints in Context,
Overall this brings a modern interpretation of the issue into play. Because of that I think it will be relevant to my paper as a hole in better understanding the topic at hand
This article talks about idol Philosophy and its relations to mob mentality and riot theory. The reader sees how if one person idolizes someone enough or if there is someone of the extreme recognition and status they can often times a mass a large following this leads to people acting in similar fashions and once again showing traits of how a mob would act. this can overall help understand triggers that cause people to act in certain ways which is important for understanding the topic as a whole and was why this was chosen.
