Collective behavior is not the same as group behavior, because of a few reasons.
o First, collective behavior is time-limited, and involves short social interactions,

strongly held/well-defined norms.
So collective is when peasents riot because everything sucks – one guy is just like, screw this I'm not sure what I'm mad at but I want to riot..
Group is more of the KKK. They are exclusive, they have a very specific purpose, and the group has been around for a very long time.
