THE BYSTANDER EFFECT:INDIVIDUAL ALIENATION OR HUMAN IGNORANCE?
ERICA BLANCO
The United States has become a nation of strangers, alienated and withdrawn from one another? Could this be
the reason for the bystander effect?
RESPONSES OF THE BYSTANDERS IN THE “KITTY” GENOVESE CASE:• "I DIDN'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED,”
• "I DIDN'T WANT MY HUSBAND TO GET INVOLVED.“• "I DON'T KNOW.“• "I WAS TIRED"
• "I WENT BACK TO BED."
These kids committed suicide.They were bullied.
A helpful bystander could have saved their lives.
Save a life.Don’t be a bystander!
