Hey guys,
Im doing a project for my sociology class, and it talks about 'escalation of commitment'.
Its basically people failing, over and over, but they keep trying to justify the past, by thinking 'Well I already put this much (effort or money) into it'.
Sort of like how people who spend 10 grand on repairs on their car, which is only worth 6 grand.
But then they spend another 2 grand because they spent 10 grand previously. Even though spending the 2 grand is ONLY justified by the previous effort, and not independently.
This was also done in the vietnam war, where troops were just sent to their deaths, basically to justify the deaths of the previous troops, the mentality was 'Well we can't give up now'
Anyways, does anyone know of a youtube video, that is sort of short, and might show something like this? I'm trying to find a few videos but nothing,
Thanks guys!
