Gustave Le Bon is a French sociologist who was interested in crowd theories and their unconscious mind. Despite publishing various works detailing his observations and analysis, he was not popular among the scholarly world due to his nature of writings. With the intention to confirm Le Bon’s theories, this paper will explore the parallels and differences between my personal experience and the theories laid out by Gustave Le Bon. An example of a crowd I experience most commonly is in religious settings;

La représentation simplificatrice de la philosophie moderne comme historicisme, qui retire au droit le rôle des normes, devrait susciter chez les nouveaux défenseurs des droits de l'homme une sympathie à l'égard des critiques les plus radicaux. Non pas que l'historique doive juger selon les critères du droit, mais c'est l'histoire elle-même qui devient "le tribunal du monde", et le droit lui-même doit être pensé à partir de son insertion dans l'historicité.

I realized the origin of this concern was the fear of loss cultivated after the 9/11. Thus, every single day that I spent in Paris, I was observing the effects of terrorist attacks on Paris.
