It's nice to see the leader in you when you took that initiative in helping. Great topic of discussion Tom. It’s nice to see the leader in you when you took that initiative in helping.

Fear (usually an unconscious decision) is a powerful tool that renders people helpless.  A person needs to realize it for what it is, overcome it by whatever means works, and jump in to help.   If someone is injured, and you don't know first aid, ask if anyone does, have someone call for an ambulance, etc. At least you are doing something to help!  Another example, don't sit idly by while others are rude, swearing in public, etc.  It doesn't have to be tolerated.  Congratulations on bringing this article to the public's attention and I hope it works to help change the bystander effect.   This was a good article, passed onto me by my son.  As parents, my husband and I have always tried to pass along to our children, by example, to help when you see someone in need of assistance.  Whether they are injured, have too many packages to carry, can’t open the door, volunteer for organizations, for whatever reason, be aware of the situation and help.  I feel the bystander effect is created mainly by fear and a lack of caring for the total good of society (which is getting worse with every generation).

I was almost murdered once while about 15 people did nothing, at a downtown bus stop outsied a shopping centre and later, once I had saved myself 1 or 2 tried to do something... even the police get this effect.... this phenomena extends itself to societies and you can be sure that corrupt people often use it to their advantage.... it feels great to be relieved of it, when you realize a truth that the majority ignores, and in your own way start improving the situation that needs help.... morality gives beauty and dignity to life, and can only based on reality, not authorities or fables.... I figure great art successfully combats this bystander effect.... j u s t i c e freedom for the worlds political prisoners, Mexico's 159 including Atenco and Gloria+Jacobo, Mumia and Peltier, the entire world's political prisoners...
