* '''Collective Action''' — Action taken together by a "Group of people" whose "Goal" is to "Enhance their condition" and achieve a "Common Objective."
* '''The Tragedy of the Commons''' (Hardin) — The idea that "Everyone" will "Over-use" a "Shared Resource" (like a 'Pasture' or 'The Atmosphere') for "Individual Gain," eventually "Destroying it" for everyone.
* '''The Prisoner’s Dilemma''' — A "Game Theory" scenario where "Two People" would "Both Benefit" from "Cooperating," but the "Incentive" to "Cheat" leads them to "Both Lose."
* '''The Free-Rider Problem''' — When someone "Enjoys the Benefit" of a group action (e.g., 'Clean Air' or 'National Defense') but "Doesn't Pay the Cost" (e.g., 'Not paying taxes').
* '''Coordination Problem''' — When people "Want" to act together but "Don't know how" to "Sync" their actions (e.g., 'Which side of the road to drive on?').
* '''Collective Intentionality''' (Searle/Tuomela) — The "Special State" of a "Group Mind": when we think **"WE are doing X"** rather than 'I am doing X and you are doing X.'
* '''Olson’s Logic''' (Mancur Olson) — The theory that "Large Groups" are "Harder to Organize" than "Small Groups" because of "Anonymity" and "Free-Riding."
* '''Social Capital''' — The "Trust," "Networks," and "Shared Norms" that make "Collective Action" easier in a community.
* '''Public Good''' — A "Benefit" that is "Non-excludable" (you can't stop people from using it) and "Non-rivalrous" (my use doesn't stop your use).
* '''Institution''' — A "Set of Rules" or "Habits" created to "Solve" collective action problems (e.g., 'The Law,' 'A Contract,' 'A Social Club').
