It can be understood from the passage that most of the reasons given by the writer are related to ----.
The recent dramatic unrest in the UK is described as
the world’s first decentralized riots, facilitated by social
media such as Twitter and the BlackBerry Messenger
network. But deep psychological forces are also at play.
In times of social unrest, violent acts that would usually
seem extreme can quickly become the norm among
groups of people identifying with each other in terms of
age, social status or other attributes. When people see
looting and rioting happening elsewhere, it shows them
what can be realized. Feeling empowered, they think
they can do pretty much what they like, and they have a
good time doing it. They simply don’t think of it as
unacceptable as they would at other times. Such
collective action is driven by social identity – by people
sharing a common social place. It is too early to know
what the rioters might have in common, but it is
suspected that it boils down to social class and is
defined by economic deprivation. They seem to be
targeting the middle class. It’s like a kind of class
warfare on the streets of Britain. Alienation from their
families, the local community and mainstream society
stops agitators from caring about the harm they cause
others. It is necessary to challenge the rioters’ current
perception that there are no opportunities for a better
future.
