Read the brief description of Kitty Genovese’s death (or perform a Google search). A brief synopsis of Kitty’s death reveals that she was murdered in front of her apartment. There are many eye witness accounts of her beings stabbed due to the screams that people heard. However, nobody intervened to help her.
Now, I am sure there are instances in our society where we see people committing a crime in which nobody intervenes to help the victim. This is known as the bystander effect.
In this discussion, I want us to look at (and list) the factors of why someone might help another person, and list the reasons why someone would NOT help another person in a situation where they are being harmed. You are more than welcome to give examples of situations that have arisen in which people did not intervene for various reasons.
