Imagine what we all can accomplish together in our societies if we all would be aware of The Bystander Effect. The Bystander Effect is one of the reasons to why children are ”allowed” to continue their bullying in schools. Adults are also bullied at work. Abuse in families is overlooked, and other destructive behaviors are allowed to continue. Often there are many people around, who are aware of an ongoing situation.
Is the following a true statement?: The more people who know about a situation, the less responsibility rests on my shoulders.
Watch:
If we imagine for a second that it is ourselves, or maybe our grown up child who is lying there, with unbearable stomach pain, without being able to breathe, and with the conviction that this may be the last day in life, and hundreds of citizens look at you / your child and just passes by… How would we experience such a thing? Would we ever get over it? That is, if we survive?
