The word crowd we use it regularly when in a given context, event or event, a significant and large number of individuals or things are present.
Large number of individuals or things, present in a place or event
In other words, we can apply the word to objects as well as to people.
In the fields of Constitutional and Political Law, the word multitude has a special meaning since in these it is used to account for a diversity of people who act together and aligned in order to achieve a common goal.
Act according to the same purpose
This situation of being able to act according to an end, and all march firmly in this sense, makes the effect of this type of organization really decisive and important when it comes to achieving objectives or benefits, because it will be impossible for force to be avoided that they present and impose due to their great number.
Although it is a reality that the crowd stands out for its heterogeneity, that is, there are different cultures, ages, social levels, sex, experiences, it will be strongly united by an objective that is the one that motivated the meeting despite those differences we indicate.
Crowds, without a doubt, make a difference at the social level and are among the most prominent social actors in a nation or community, because the union of people, and therefore of the wills that they imply, will make it impossible not to be heard or heard. pay attention to them, even in spite of wanting to pretend otherwise, it will be impossible because the “noise” of the crowd sounds louder.
Social movements are the clearest examples of a multitude, and consist of a variable but large number of individuals who come together with the mission of obtaining social changes or preventing certain actions from taking place.
Sports, music and social events that draw crowds
However, one can also speak of a crowd when a large number of people attend the same place or space, generally public, not because they have previously agreed, as we saw in the case described above, but rather an interest or activity that he shares with others, generates that they are in that place and that they form a crowd.
In recitals, in sports competitions, in some transcendent public event such as the farewell to the remains of a relevant personality of society, or simply in a holiday destination, among others, we can run into crowds.
The aforementioned are events that bring together many people who are united by the same passion for an artist, a sports team, which makes them attend the place where they are presented and in which it is possible to unleash that special feeling.
Soccer clubs are undoubtedly one of the places in which crowds made up of people who do not know each other are united by the passionate feeling and belonging to that team that they will enliven for the duration of the game.
The crowd on the soccer fields acts and moves because of the contagion, this is clearly seen in the applause, in the anger against a player that unleashes tremendous epithets, and in the typical songs of encouragement.
There will always be a group that will take the lead and to which the rest of the attendees join, motivated precisely by the special passion that is unleashed in the sporting event.
On the other hand, in summer resorts, especially when the holiday season arrives, it is common to observe crowds who do not know each other but who attend that place to carry out the same activities: rest, sunbathe on the beach, bathe in the sea, among other typical actions.
In some circumstances, crowds can become uncomfortable, for some, because they do not allow a smooth movement, and also dangerous if they do not present a controlled behavior, but rather unbridled.
There is a wide range of synonyms for this term, while among the ones we use the most in its place is that of crowd, which precisely refers to the abundance either of individuals or of things, in some place or event.
Meanwhile, the word that directly opposes the concept at hand is that of shortage, which on the contrary indicates the insufficiency of something or the lack of what turns out to be necessary.
