Emotional Contagion and a Movie Recommendation
The subject of emotional contagion has always been fascinating. Perhaps more so after experiencing it yourself. Basically, it's how the emotions and beliefs of one person can affect (or "infect") one or more other people. For instance: The Salem Witch Trials, The Holocaust, The Chupacabra, Cult-Think, etc.
Recently I was reading a blog entry where the movie "Bug" was recommended for those wanting to know why and how such a thing can happen. I haven't seen the movie yet myself (I found the trailer kind of off-putting) but it's currently playing on "Movies on Demand" so I might check it out. But I thought I'd pass on the recommendation in case you find yourself uninterested in the Super Bowl and looking for something to do on Sunday.
The blog also links to a book on the subject of emotional contagion.
