ABSTRACT
The joint result of collective actions depends on the greater or lesser coordination of actions and movements of the members who make up a given collective. The actions of a collective, however, are expressed not only through physical labor in the true sense of the word. Thus, the creation of spiritual and cultural institutions should also be regarded as collective actions that pursue a particular goal. The planned nature of collective work presupposes a degree of organized behavior in the collective itself, which is achieved with the help of an executive bureau or authority elected by the collective. Social aspirations and social undertakings, as well as collective work, are directly related to the mood of the community, while the nature of the actions of the given community depends on the moral qualities and the level of advancement of its popular masses. Literature—this mirror of public moods—also provides a vivid manifestation of this rule.
