Özet:

From the past, communities have felt the need to withdraw a certain physical boundary or wall in order to protect themselves from hostile groups and potential hazards, such as the Great Wall or the Berlin Wall. However, the importance of fantasized walls as an inter-group separator and uniting in group element presents the anatomy of inter-group conflict. Shared phenomena and identity created in imaginary space can be so exaggerated that the group member can put aside feelings or any identity and interests and have radical motivations and atypical reactions to these common values. To understand the state of individual identity in collective identity, it is necessary to focus especially on times of crisis such as war and terror. Empathy and optimism, one of the most important features that are given to people and as a set of violence, are lost in the name of continuation of basic trust at that time. Especially the mourning process, which cannot be held or completed after the losses, increases the psychological pressure on the group members. In this study, the group motivations during the crisis times and the effect of the leaders who direct these motivations will be examined in the context of historical grievances and their transfer from generation to generation.
