What reading level is Readings in Descriptive And Historical Sociology; book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Naturally, men in crowds are subject to a swift contagion of feeling that would be impossible were they dispersed, and able to communicate only slowly and with difficulty. For the same reason they are extremely sensi- tive to suggestion and to unnoticed influences. In crowds, men are even more likely to think in terms of symbolic images, catch words and shibboleths, than when by them- selves. This, of course, is because others are continually calling their attention to symbols, and, with emotio...nal fervour, repeating the fetichistic phrases. With the critical faculty in abeyance, men in crowds are in a state of mind to be easily deceived, to believe any wild rumour that is started, and even to become subject to hallucination. The crowd is devoid of the sense of responsibility, because, when lost in the mass, the individual loses his own feeling of responsibility, and acquires a sense of invincible power, and so gives way to impulses, which, if he were alone, he would control. Like the savage and the child, the crowd is intolerant of anything interposed between its desires and their realization, and it always manifests a tendency to carry suggested ideas immediately into action.
