In this paper the author considers mainly a system of conservation laws as follows: I) In one space dimension, it is strictly hyperbolic, or II) in several space dimensions, it can be reduced to a symmetric system. Assuming some structural assumptions, the author gives the existing results on formation of singularities for the above systems. The interesting point is to introduce certain averaged quantities and to avoid the reliance upon characteristics.
