Question
Explain the concept of crowd and density.
✓
Answer
Crowding occurs when too many people live in a limited space.
Initial studies on congestion on animals found that the incidence of illness and disease was higher in animals due to congestion.
Studies on human density have shown that density is not limited to individual behavior.
But socialism also affects quality of life.
E.g. When seven to eight people live in a 10 'x 10' room, their interpersonal relationships are affected.
Aggression is seen in their activities.
Helping behavior is reduced as well as withdrawal symptoms. Crowding has caused many such contraindications.
Crowding is a big problem subjectively.
According to many researchers, the term crowd is used in reference to the subjective feeling of being overwhelmed.
Some people do not see physical density as a crowd.
So for many people to gather in one place, “crowd! And since they are very close to each other, it is necessary to use two words, crowd, in order to experience a collision.
Points out.
In density there is more of a union or group spirit while in the crowd such a spirit is not seen.
Studies in India and abroad have shown that mobility has a negative effect on a person's performance, interpersonal relationships as well as physical and mental health.
People in the crowd usually experience obstacles in achieving the goal, improper intervention as well as mental and physical restlessness.
Density largely affects social behavior.
Everyone is busy finding their way on the platform of the railway station or on the bridge of the railway station; there we do not feel like meeting even a stranger or an acquaintance.
In situations of congestion we avoid communicating or meeting people.
In such a situation everyone wants to keep themselves free from the other person and people tend to shorten the conversation if the meeting cannot be avoided.
