ago, women and children always went first. Men were stoic(坚忍的)。 On the Titanic, there was enough time for these norms to become forceful。
(80)在泰坦尼克号下沉和妇女和儿童爬进救生艇,音乐家从船上的乐队站和玩。他们死于船下沉时。男人站在甲板和抽烟。他们死了,太。这种行为是令人费解的经济学家,谁愿意相信人们倾向于他们自身利益行事。“没有推动,”戴维·萨维奇说,一位经济学家在澳大利亚昆士兰大学研究证人的报告的幸存者。这是“非常、非常有序的行为。”
野蛮的行为比作泰坦尼克号上的乘客与那些卢西塔尼亚号上,另一艘船沉没,也在同一时间。但当卢西塔尼亚号落时,乘客惊慌失措(恐慌)。有很多相似之处这两个事件。这两艘船都是奢侈的,他们有一个类似的乘客数量和相同数量的幸存者。
最大的区别,野蛮人总结道,是时间。卢西塔尼亚号沉没在不到20分钟。但对泰坦尼克号来说,这是两个半小时。“如果你有一个事件,持续两个半小时,社会秩序将接管和每个人都将表现在社会的方式,”萨维奇说。“如果你要下在17分钟,基本上这是本能。”在泰坦尼克号上,社会秩序统治,妇女和儿童第一。卢西塔尼亚号上,本能胜出。幸存者主要是那些可以游泳,进入救生艇。
是的,我们是自私的,野蛮的方式。但我们也社会的一部分。假以时日,社会规范(规范)可以击败我们的自然自身的利益。一百年前,妇女和儿童总是先走。男人是斯多葛派(坚忍的)。在泰坦尼克号上,有足够的时间为这些规范成为有力的。
