"The difference that exists outside the system is terrifying because it reveals the truth of the system, its relativity, its fragility and its mortality" pronounces René Girard in The Scapegoat expiatory (108). This idea illustrates man's need to separate himself from his fellow men and create divisions in his mind. Girard argues that men desire uniformity and differences while ideas that demonstrate the opposite are one of the most destructive forces in the crowd. Crowds and divisions form based on people grouping together creating an “Us and Them” situation in their minds. People throughout their lives look for ways to differentiate themselves from those around them. At the crowd level people gravitate towards those who have a similar sense of self and view of others. This newly formed crowd then has the capacity to persecute when its beliefs are proven wrong in the face of a lack of differentiation. The crowd then opposes those who in their minds are different and distinct, even going so far as to create lies about the opposing crowd to justify their own beliefs. Crowds will believe anything that creates a sense of differentiation because a lack of differentiation would shatter their sense of self and leave logic behind in pursuit of a superficial self-affirmation of their fixed ideas about others. Everyone realizes that they are different from the people around them. them, but this only goes so far as to accept differences in ways perceived as normal. The simplest example of this is the physical realm. A person will accept people of different heights and body types, all according to normal standards. So when this person interacts with someone with perceived physical differences that are bizarre, they feel disgusted. Even with all the moderation... middle of the paper... that separates the majority from the minority. Believing otherwise would destroy the idea of ​​majority and minority; thoughts that continue to thrive today. It's almost as if human nature wants to be categorized and reaffirm one's personal idea of ​​being unique but according to certain standards. Girard argues that a breakdown due to lack of differentiation has negative effects on society as a whole. Furthermore, the crowds will do everything to make this realization possible. People throughout the history of thought have shown that they prefer to be different in the way they want to be. These ways are usually physical and superficial in nature. People will just look deeply into the other person and make their own judgments from that brief examination. Crowds will eschew the logic of division and believe with blind faith that differences define those outside their crowd..
