Moral deficit disorder caused, in part, by deindividuation

You all know what deindividuation is don't you?

It's when you no longer have a mind of your own but go along with the herd.

When you were a teen ager, they called it "peer pressure". Only thing is that adults are subject to "peer pressure" too.

Deindividuation leads to immoral behavior. People will do things when they think they are anonymous or when they are in a group or when they see other people doing it even when they know its wrong or when they can blame someone else.

Moral deficit disorder is as much a social phenomenon as an individual phenomenon.
