Woodstock Chris Lewis
The first word that came to mind when I saw the large crowd at woodstock was triage. If there is an incident, how are all of these people going to get medical attention and kept safe. Woodstock is one the riskiest events, and one of the biggest cultural icons. These people can be considered brilliant in thier stupidity. Having so many people packed into such a small space creates a powder keg for disease and riots. Self-herding themselves like caddle could have created the lack of violence. This makes most of them sense very little danger in being together. During the film some of the people were seen crying and upset at not being able to leave. Unless the film showed a biased point of view, this event seemed to have been a huge success and very few people were inconvenienced besides the townspeople. One thing that I thought was great is how the military saw the opportunity to provide medical assistance and show that the military can be good. This is a great way to influence the younger generations there and provide some care at the same time. The people gathered at this event were greatly open to influence and could have been easily swayed by the government if they came in and "saved" them if an incident did arise.
