Scholars have devoted considerable attention to assessing why such is the case, and have generated various theories that may explain the phenomena... The phenomenon of collective behavior too was clearly evident in the debacle of the "The Stonewall Riots" and we will, therefore, take that event as illustrative of some of the foremost theories that are posited to explain collective action.
