乌合之众

The Crowd of Crowds is very famous, but I have never had the chance to read it because I have seen articles criticizing its views, so I read this book with critical thinking and curiosity. In this book, the author narrates the unconscious of groups from three volumes. Among them, what left a deep impression on me was the content about education and reputation. Reputation "in the book refers to the essential foundation for leaders to gain group support. Of course, success is the most important thing. Without success, there is no reputation, let alone the support of the group. At the same time, the author also talked about the speech skills that leaders should possess, which I find very useful and interesting for me. Education, this is the point where I have the deepest sympathy. I believe the author's viewpoint on education is reasonable, and our current situation also aligns with its predictions. We need to re-examine the education system to align it with social development. However, during my reading process, I found that he was full of prejudice against race, women, and children, comparing these types of people to barbarians. Perhaps this is due to the limitations of the times that led the author to have such an idea. Last, I believe that when understanding something, one should not only read a book, but also learn from multiple aspects.
