1.     Summary
Collective behavior is that the social process and incident that is spontaneously occurring. So why should we research collective behavior? Because of practical reasons. We understand the collective behavior, we can provide the mean that can be used to success collective behavior. The crowd is base of collective behavior, and the purpose of crowd is decided, it is linked to collective behavior. And collective behavior is becoming confused it is linked to panic and becoming violent, it leads to riot.

2.     Interesting point
Collective behavior is inexpressible content in sociology because society is many people consist the society and many sociological phenomenon is occurred by collective behavior. I was interested about that the riot is unbalance of the collective behavior and some people dismiss some collective behavior to riot but it is not, so I got to know the riot’s actual definition.

3.     Discussion
There are so many collective behavior is in this world. But some collective behavior is becoming violent, some people dismiss collective behavior to riot indiscriminately so some honorable struggle sometimes is treated to savage riot. What do you think about this? It is just individual vision, or that is derogation of opposition forces?
