There is a significant connection between human behaviour and the society that influences this behaviour in a positive or negative way. This is analyzed and described in many theories by scientists, for example by sociologists. But what if human behaviour influences society? There are some remarkable examples, one for instance can be observed on Berlin’s streets and public places on a daily basis.
Back to the beginning of it all - at the beginning society reacted with head-shaking or negative in public if a person did something that was embarrassing or deviant from the behaviour that was seen as embarrassing or deviant by the society. That person then tried to stop his or her embarrassing actions in order to not stand out and to immerse into the mass of people.
There was also a time - and now I finally come to the concrete and already announced example, where a person thought it is embarrassing if his mobile phone suddenly started to burpse, make digestition noises, shout “C’mon, pick up the phone, dude!” or play the duck dance.
Apparantly these times are finally over. Lower body part noises, dumb statements and the newest inanities downloaded for much money seem to not impress the public anymore, neither on streets nor in subways (and there it is especially silent and noises are being noticed) or other public places, this noise garbage is accepted.
