Becoming A Bystander In The Workplace

There have been multiple cases where a civilian has been put in danger, and someone has refused to help causing the civilian to be in immense pain or even resulted to death. Each case there is a dispute saying that if a person has the choice and does not help should, they should be sued. In this scenario an off duty police officer was attacked on the property of a 7-11, and the clerk refused to help, which lead to the police officer suing him.

Honestly yes they should have the responsibility to intervene when something bad is happening. Because who wouldn’t want to help someone who is trouble that needs help from a bystander that just passing by. My question is “ are they at fault if they don’t intervene ?” Bystanders should not have to live with the guilt that they should have, or they should've done something to stop but didn’t. You don’t have to have to hold it against you that you didn’t help them because you weren’t sure if you should intervene with something so dangerous that could possibly hurt you.

Maintaining strong employee relations is vital to the success of any business. Many of the Supreme Court cases in the textbook discuss collective bargaining and union participation. These cases were intriguing because they reiterate employees’ rights to express their opinions and join organizations designed to better their lives.

StepUp is an interactive workshop that talks about how to intervene in situations with problematic behavior either intentional and unintentional. In the workshop, I learned how to assess challenging situations and determine how to safely intercede and still be protected from or not exposed to danger or risk implementing the 3Ds- Direct, Distract, and Delegate. I also learned about “Bystander Intervention”- a philosophy and strategy for prevention of various types of violence, including bullying, hazing, harassment, sexual assault, relationship violence, discrimination, binge-drinking, and mental health concerns. How these are of great importance was addressed as well- why these prevent the pre-mentioned harmful situations and how we can use them.

Newer officers feel comfortable with bringing issues to me because they know my goal is what is in their best interest for their safety, security of the institution, and their career. Working in a prison officers are face with ethical dilemmas on a regular basis, from manipulation by inmates to abuse of authority. At times, these situations don’t necessarily have a right or wrong answer that is simple to determine. When officers may be struggling in these situations, I am one of the first to address it with them, not to criticize but to support them in their growth. I am also one of the first to stand up to supervisors during times when they are making poor decisions that compromise the boundaries of ethical leadership, especially when their decisions can jeopardize the safety of fellow

A new type of intervention, commonly known as the Bystander Approach, is where higher education campuses acknowledge that all members of the campus community can prevent sexual violence if all parties work together as a community; this is simply done by eliminating the stigmas associated with sexual violence, having community members be aware of not only theirs but others surroundings and intervening if they witness the beginnings of a possible sexual violence event (Berkowitz et al., 2011).

Unionization would have protected against unfair and unethical labor practices. The Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (LMRDA) covers employees. The resolution that I must accept the working conditions was derived from fear of

Psychological Research Into the Behaviour of Bystanders The first researchers to investigate systematically the circumstances in which bystanders are and are not likely to intervene to help others were Latane & Darley. The tragic case of Kitty Genovese in 1960s New York acted as a catalyst for research studies since the case highlighted concepts such as bystander apathy and the unresponsive bystander. Latane and Darley have shown through research that we are less likely to define a situation as being dangerous if other people are present, a phenomenon they called pluralistic ignorance. Latane and Darley performed a study, the 'smoke-filled room experiment', which demonstrates the power of

I observed a client whom I will call Mr. K. at Tendercare Living Centre on his first day of admittance exhibiting signs of sensory stimulation during the breakfast and lunch hour, in which I decided to follow up with further observation.

If you watch something awful happens and do nothing to help, should you be held responsible in a court of law? Why or why not. Yes, you should. In my opinion, a bystander’s act is worse than the perpetrator. The witnesses are capable of saving someone’s life but they choose not to. This act is so inhumane and disgusting. So I think they should also be blamed for the incident. Some of the acts are just ridiculous, like the woman who filmed her friend getting sexually assaulted, I can tell there was some misunderstanding between the man and the two 'grown' women and one of them got angry so she decided to deal with the situation in that cruel way which was unnecessary and caused more chaos. There are millions of better ways to handle the problem.

Being a bystander is someone who doesn't take part of an event or incident. While I was gathering information on why bystanders should intervene when there is trouble. I found articles talking about different types of bystanders, what bystander effect is and how people process when people are in trouble. The reason why you should intervene is because your moral standards and you can save someone's life.

Everyday we are faced to make decisions. It could be something so simple or difficult. Sometimes it may involve doing something you’ve never done before or may not be comfortable doing. Sometimes you may even ignore the situation overall. In this case it would be called being a bystander. Nobody wants to be the person to step in and stop something from happening. Whether it is at a party or even just on the street.

By doing this, one can see how officers and civilian employees really feel about agency rules and regulations that affect their work and personal lives and what changes in the rules and/or perceptions need to be changed and how to do it (Iannone et al, 2009). By being sensitive to other’s feelings, a supervisor can discover his own shortcomings and learn to be a better leader (Iannone et al, 2009). A police supervisor must not simple manage; he or she must lead, which according to President Eisenhower means to “get someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it” (What is leadership, 2016, par. 2). If not, he will surely lose control of his

I started working at Oscoda County EMS approximately a year and a half ago. I have worked at the Greenwood for the majority of this time with the exception of my orientation time and in the last month in which I have worked at the main station. One of the reasons that I have not worked at the main station is because of Sam Frank. She has made it no secret that she does not like me and would like to get me fired. I am skeptical of working at the same station as her for fear that she will again try to sabotage my job as she did when Susan White was director. I also feel uncomfortable around her because of the language that she uses on a regular basis that is inappropriate and vulgar. I have been witness to how she treats Sherry Wilson without

Countless scenarios thrust dispatchers in the middle of extremely stressful and chaotic situations while never knowing the end result once first responders arrive. More often than not, I ended my shift with a feeling of emptiness and found myself searching for an explanation. After doing some soul searching, I finally discovered the feeling was due to not knowing the resolution to the situation. Although I enjoyed being part of something that was life changing for those involved; I wanted more. Wanting to be a part of the resolution during crisis situations solidified my desire of becoming a police officer. During my tenor in the dispatch center I was given the opportunity to ride-along with police officers in the field which I took full
