Do you know this animal? The name is "Lemming," the figure is like a hamster or small rat. We are becoming like lemmings, I think. Today, I mention about it.
Lemmings usually move with big group and can bleed rapidly. They are active through the year, even in severe snowful winter. The picture looks cute, doesn't it?
Then, there is a myth that lemmings commit group suicide. Though it is just a rumor, one film made people trust that lemmings do it. The name of the film was "White Wilderness," produced by Walt Disney Pictures, and the film was an Academy award winning nature documentary in 1958. The staff forced many lemmings to fall down from criff, dive into water, and the staffs showed it like suicide. Since then, the word "lemming" is used as a symbol of mob psychology, that is, a large group of people's mind.
Nowadays, people moves with groups, sometimes without thinking so much. How about the government? It is clear to see the rate of the vote.
Although the cooperation is important, we have to have our own ideas, indeed.
