5. 5. Волна

   

   Учитель истории запускает в классе эксперимент, чтобы показать, как обычные люди могут оказаться втянуты в авторитарное движение: он вводит строгие правила, единые ритуалы и слоганы, что сначала повышает дисциплину и сплочённость, но вскоре превращается в слепое подчинение, исключение и запугивание тех, кто не вписывается, и выходит из-под контроля, заставляя участников и наблюдателей переосмыслить природу власти, ответственности и опасностей конформизма.
