Good morning , earlier I had specified that I needed help developing a concept for my essay that has to be written . Briefly I’ll rexplain what I had mentioned in a prior post .
I have to write an essay based on a psychology concept . Based on the concept of my choice , I have to choose a media example that occurred after the 28th of January 2018 to demonstrate how it relates to the fundamental definition of the concept of my choice .
Previously , I had leaned more towards conformity but I’m finding it quite difficult to locate media sources that occurred after the 28th of January such as shows , movies , etc that shows conformity .
I was wondering if the concept of Deindividuation would be a better approach ? I had an example but sadly it cannot be used because it occurred before the 28th of January . I was wondering if you could help me brainstorm possible media examples that had occurred after that date that relates to deindividuation .
Why not look for examples of conformity that show people acting as though they believe lies?
I’m having a hard time finding examples that are in the media that was broadcasted after the 28th of January 2018
Is your definition of "media" confined to television only? There are other kinds of media, such as print, the internet, radio, movies, etc. Media is plural. Television is one medium.

Of course! I'd be happy to help you brainstorm possible media examples that occurred after the 28th of January 2018 and relate to the concept of deindividuation for your essay. Here are a few suggestions to get you started:
1. "The Purge" movie series (2018 and onwards): The idea of deindividuation is central to these movies, as individuals are given a period of time where all crimes, including murder, are legal. The anonymity of masks and the suspension of social norms lead to the breakdown of individual identity and the emergence of primal behaviors.
2. Social media and online anonymity: You can explore how online platforms, such as Twitter or Reddit, contribute to deindividuation by allowing people to hide behind anonymous usernames. This can lead to the erosion of personal responsibility and an increase in aggressive or offensive behavior.
3. Riots or protests: Look for media coverage of riots or protests that occurred after the 28th of January 2018. Analyze how the anonymity provided by being part of a large group and the emotional contagion within the crowd can lead to deindividuation and a departure from normal inhibitions.
4. Cyberbullying incidents: Search for reported cases of cyberbullying that took place after the specified date. Focus on how the online environment can enable deindividuation and foster hostile behavior due to the perceived anonymity and lack of accountability.
Remember, it's essential to analyze how these media examples relate to the fundamental definition of deindividuation. Look for characteristics such as loss of self-awareness, reduced accountability, and increased conformity to group norms.
