도입: Noelle-Neumann 관찰: 선거 때 특정 견해만 주목받고, 인기 없다고 여기는 의견은 억누름 = 침묵의 나선. (S1~S2) / 전개: 인기 있다고 인식 → 표현 / 아니라고 생각 → 침묵 → 나선형으로 반복되어 한쪽만 큰 주목. (S3~S4) / 결론: 일상의 의견 표현(대화·배지·스티커·SNS)도 다른 사람이 공유한다고 느낄 때 더 많이 한다. (S5~S6)

As a political researcher in Germany, Noelle-Neumann observed that during election campaigns, certain views seemed to get more play than others, and sometimes people muted their opinions rather than talking about them, especially if those opinions were perceived to be unpopular. Noelle-Neumann calls this the spiral of silence. The spiral of silence occurs when individuals who perceive that their opinions are popular express them, whereas those who do not think their opinions are popular remain quiet. This process occurs in a spiral, so that one side of an issue ends up with considerable publicity and the other side with very little. In everyday life, people express their opinions in a variety of ways: they talk about them, they wear buttons, they put bumper stickers on their cars, and they post their views on social media. According to this theory, people are more apt to do these kinds of things when they perceive that others share their opinions.
People speak up when they think others agree with them and stay quiet when they think their view is unpopular.
사람들은 남들이 동의한다고 느끼면 말하고, 자기 의견이 인기 없다고 느끼면 침묵한다.
