Collective behavior refers to the actions and behavior of a group of people who bypass the usual norms that govern their behavior and engage in something that is unusual or unexpected. This behavior can take various forms such as protests, riots, crowds, and social movements. Cultural deviance refers to behaviors that are contrary to the prevailing cultural norms and values, while bureaucratic ritualism refers to a rigidity in following established rules, regulations, and procedures, even if it hinders organizational goals. The Peter Principle refers to the idea that people are promoted based on their performance in their current role, rather than their potential, leading to eventual incompetence in their new roles.
