Yesterday I stumbled upon three dogs while walking through my
neighborhood. The dogs were generally unruly -- barking incessantly,
pulling on their leashes, and snarling at other passer-by dogs.
Now I have interacted with each of these dogs individually on numerous
occasions, and have never witnessed this behavior. It was obvious that
the presence of each other created a "group chemistry" that did not
exist in isolation.
Humans, no doubt, are the same.
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

This is treated in Truman Capote's 'In Cold Blood' where individuals come
together to create group identity, often quite different from the
individuals themselves. 2 movies have been made of the book...
