Modeling drives rapid spread of aggressive tactics during civil strife

Evidence

Modeling plays an especially significant role in the rapid spread of aggressive tactics under conditions of civil strife. Airline hijacking is a striking example. Air piracy was unheard of in the United States until an airliner was hijacked to Havana in 1961. Prior to that incident, Cubans had been hijacking planes to Miami. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 750
