Black Friday Frenzy -What Causes it?

Black Friday Walmart Violence

It’s getting more and more common to hear about near riots on “Black Friday” -frenzied shoppers knocking each other over and even pepper-spraying one another all to get a discount on mass produced goods.

In a way, these incidents shed light on some of the motivation behind the Occupy Wall Street Movement. For this kind of behavior is an example of the same general mindset that values money or material objects above other people.

Although it’s admittedly a small percentage of people who actually go ballistic at these Walmarts and malls, lots of people still let themselves get caught up in the mass society trance that is ultimately responsible for these extreme reactions.
