Does humans ‘acting as part of a herd’ apply to low involvement products as it may apply?

Humans have a herd mentality, for example stay on an expressway bumper to bumper for miles rather than get off and find an alternate. Low involvement product? If a product catches on everyone will buy it(herd mentality) It becomes contagious like a disease or illness. Could be shoes, anything.

apathy is acceptable to the reaction of being around humans

It's not so much that they call a lot (although they do)...it's that when you say you're not interested, they STILL don't shut up. Whoever's been training them needs to rethink their strategy. I mean, if they weren't wasting their time going on and on (and on) to ppl who don't want their product, they might be able to make a sale to someone else instead.

flock behavior/ pack mentality.  \nit also allows for altrusim and sacrifice- which equates to individuals putting the good of the tribe/pack ahead of that of the invividual. creating a greater liklihood of survival.

Collective efficacy is an empty theory like community policing.  Criminal behavior is normal when people have addictions and are driven most consistently by a "need" not being fulfilled.  Couple this with messages in media about all we don't have (and don't need) and cherishing the self above all others - you have a deluded population seeking only immediate gratification and intolerance for going without.  This creates an incessant drive to acquire by any means all the material things that can not ever fully satisfy us.

I've heard that it's an evolutionary development that occurred, in part ,because when people started co-habitating in groups or clans it was helpful for them to be on the same circadian "sleep" schedule. It helped group unity.

It depends on the setting. Business or pleasure. \nAnd the circumstances within each.\nGenerally:\nIn a quiet group, I tend to be proactive. \nIn an active group, I try to participate.

Yes, that can happen, but they don't do it purposely. It is just that they are so busy with all those friends they don't realize they are shorting themselves by not focusing on a few close ones. They are a humanity as a whole kind of person, and are honestly perplexed when some other more needy people get all upset if they don't shine their light down upon them more earnestly. If you want to be closer to them, you be the initiator. Just don't crowd them.

Sure.  But they can not always be responsible for how other humans decide to use them.  Scientists are responsible to "discover" and invent.

In a way, yes. It is the wisdom of your experiences. If someone doesn't act in their own best interest, or if they don't understand the simplest wisdom, we say they don't have "common sense". Another way of putting it is "They just don't know stuff that normal people should know." The more that you communicate with your local community, the more common wisdom you will have and spread around. As we get more isolated behind books and computers, we lose a lot of our 'common' sense of things that even "common people" would know.

It would be great if you could wear exactly as much or as little as you wanted to, whenever you wanted to, and no-one would care.  However, the world is not like that at the moment, and I don't know how or whether we could ever make it that way.  So, my ideal answer would be 'yes' but in practice it's probably 'no', because it would be unacceptable for too many people.

Yes.  Intentions and actions do not always correspond to each other.

I think we're all sheep to some degree. Every one of us, to some extent, follows social norms and cares what others think.

The reasons for this are unclear; however, recent research suggests that yawning might be a herd instinct.\n\nHerd Instinct\n-------------\nThe so-called herding instinct is a social tendency in humans to identify with and model many behaviors and beliefs after a larger group of individuals with whom they identify. This is sometimes referred to as "following the herd." Such people are sometimes labelled with the derogatory term "sheeple."\n\nSince the herding instinct includes both behavior and belief, the term 'herd behavior' describes only a part of this complex phenomenon in humans.
