I'm Sam.
And I'm Neil.
There was a huge crowd of people
waiting at the train station this morning, Neil.
When the train finally arrived, everyone rushed in
and I couldn't find a seat!
I hate crowds!
But you love going to the football match on Saturday...
Ah, that's different –
more like a big group of friends...
Well, whether it's sporting events,
train stations or political protests, crowds –
that's large groups of people
who gather together for a shared activity,
are a feature of life.
For some,
crowds create feelings of excitement and a sense of community,
while for others they feel uncomfortable, confusing,
or even dangerous.
So why is that?
