Group action (sociology)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In sociology, group action is the situation in which a large number of people in a given area behave simultaneously in a similar way in order to achieve a common goal. Their actions are usually coordinated.
Group action will likely take place when various individuals realise that they are more likely to achieve their goal when acting together rather than individually. A special form of group action is called a social movement.
Group action differs from group behaviours, which are uncoordinated, and also from mass actions, which are more limited in place.
