re looting

it's not just desperation

people who loot may be desperate but many have other motives

i keep hearing people in the media say it's coz desperado ang tao

didnt they go to sociology class?

everybody sees other people do it so everybody joins in --- it's call collective behavior

Collective behavior - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The expression collective behavior was first used by Robert E. Park (1921), and employed later by Herbert Blumer (1939), Ralph Turner and Lewis Killian (1957), and Neil Smelser (1962) to refer to social processes and events which do not reflect existing social structure (laws, conventions, and institutions), but which emerge in a "spontaneous" way. Collective behavior takes many forms but generally violates societal norms (Miller 2000, Locher 2002). Collective behavior can be tremendously destructive, as with riots or mob violence, silly, as with fads, or anywhere in between. Collective behavior is always driven by group dynamics, encouraging people to engage in acts they might consider unthinkable under typical social circumstances (Locher 2002).

Emergent-Norm Theory - according to Ralph Turner and Lewis Killian (1957), crowds begin as collectivities composed of people with mixed interests and motives. Especially in the case of less stable crowds—expressive, acting and protest crowds—norms may be vague and changing, as when one person decides to break the glass windows of a store and others join in and begin looting merchandise. When people find themselves in a situation that is vague, ambiguous, or confusing new norms "emerge" on the spot and people follow those emergent norms, which may be at odds with normal social behavior. Turner and Killian further argue that there are several different categories of participants, all of whom follow different patterns of behavior due to their differing motivations.[/B]

mixed motives

there are people who are motivated by hunger and thirst --- taking only food and water

but others have other motives

how often can you go into a store take what you want and leave without paying

many looters are just taking advantage of an opportunity

they see someone leave the store with a TV or washing machine

when a crowd is presented with an opportunity to get free appliances they don't want to let that opportunity pass so they join in

it's a spontaneous decision

that's the psychology behind that kind of collective behavior

Nasaan na rin ang mga maka-BAYAN na militante aktibista? Baka magprotest pa sila sa mga dadating na US aid imbes na magbigay tulong.

i wonder if that pawnshop got robbed. Siguro kahit bakbakin yung pader para makuha yung safe, wala ring makapigil

dapat yun mga BDO branches inuna nila... parang sari-sari stores sa dami ng branches

looting is just not right. kailangan may shoot to kill din.

Pede rin galing ibang province na hindi naman takaga victims, mga oportunista lang talaga. Ang pinoy masyado maabilidad kaso sa kagaguhan minsan ginagamit.

Yung branch nila esmi sa robinson tacloban nalimas laman ng atm including the vault nabuksan din daw.

Which makes me wonder how can an ordinary citizen open a bank vault.
