HIVE MENTALITY, ALSO KNOWN AS GROUPTHINK,
IS WHEN A PERSON HAS A STRONG TENDENCY TO FALL FOR
GROUP-DECISION MAKING.
IF SOMEONE HAS A HIVE MENTALITY, THEY
MAY FEEL INVULNERABLE AND MORALLY CORRECT WHEN
THEY'RE PART OF A CERTAIN GROUP.
THEY MAY ALSO NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE DECISIONS OF THEIR OWN
THE TERM "HIVE MIND" REFERS TO THE APPARENT INTELLIGENCE
THAT EMERGES AT THE GROUP LEVEL IN SOME SOCIAL SPECIES,
PARTICULARILY INSECT LIKE HONEYBEES AND ANTS.
AN INDIVIDUAL HONEYBEE MIGHT NOT BE VERY BRIGHT
(ALTHOUGH THIS DEBATABLE),
BUT THE HONEYBEE COLONY AS A COLLECTIVE
MIGHT BE VERY INTELLIGENT
