Collectives, Crowds, crowds and Multitudes

Complementing: Human Scale - Collectives Definition

If we talk about human Collectives, is better to differentiate them first from Crowds, crowds and Multitudes, and then, among them by quality, rather than by quantity.



Can we define?:

A Team, as a collective of dependant human beings, that: share an objective and perception, compete and respect each other, and follow a trainer?

A Party, as a collective of independent human beings, that: share a plan and understanding, imitate and coordinate with each other, and follow an instructor?
Complementing:

A Tribe, as a collective of interdependent human beings, that: share a dream and contemplation, adore and surrender to each other, and follow a master?

A People, as a collective of trascendent human beings, that: share an idea and admiration, emulate and welcome each other, and follow a guide?

A Crowd, as an “unorganized collective” of human beings, formed by Friends (Fans) of a Team, a Party, a Tribe or a People?

A crowd, as an “unorganized collective” of human beings, formed by enemies (haters) of a Team, a Party, a Tribe or a People?

A Multitude, as an “undifferentiated and unorganized collective” of human beings?
