War and Social and Psychological Reality
Keywords:
war, rumors, panic, psychological reality, social realityAbstract
This paper represents a psychological discussion about dramatic episodes in the history of mankind, such as wars, catastrophes and mass accidents that overcome human usual experience. Wars show what can happen to a human mind when it is obsessed and overwhelmed by hostility, rage, panic and fear, when the lowest and most primitive levels of mental functioning come out on the surface.
