I believe a situation in which I probably joined the innocent bystander effect was when I was in middle school in one of my classes. We were tasked with an assignment, more specifically a group project. Quite frankly, back then I wasn’t very good at socializing or doing groups projects, therefore I would basically do my part of assignment by myself as if I wasn’t even assigned to a group. In addition, one of the kids that was in my group inquired me about a part he was not comprehending very well, and I somewhat “muted” my empathy towards her. I think this was mostly because kids used to do that to me, they would sometimes even pretend like they didn’t even hear me. I think that if I would have behaved in a more altruistic way towards her,
My whole life I’ve felt like an outsider. When I was younger dealing with a learning disability, I have had a hard time making and keeping friends even to this day. I struggle with being a follower instead of a leader. My own adoptive father verbally abused me growing up and I also had kids in fifth-sixth grade who constantly bullied me. I still am reminded of an instance when the first day of fifth grade approached: I got on the bus and these older girls started making fun of my pants saying, “She’s wearing high-waters.” I was humiliated in front of my peers every day since than during those two years. After being bullied for so long I made a vow to myself to never forget the pain inflicted upon me on a daily basis.
Throughout life, one is to see many people they don’t know Humans walk past each other and no interaction occurs. Depending on a particular situation one might be in, it can change the ability to react, help and care for a stranger in need. In the article “We are all bystanders”, by Jason Marsh and Dacher Keltner, it shows how in certain settings people don’t act to help another, even though one might want to. “Everyday Stuart would board the bus and a couple of boys would tease him. I would sit silent and watch. I wish I would’ve helped” (Marsh/Keltner 3). People develop a feeling that prevents them from caring for strangers. This is due to a thought of peer pressure or judgement that could be given to an individual for taking action.
Furthermore, the bystander effect has impact our society because now in present days people are too afraid to react to the things that may be surrounding them throughout their neighborhoods. Many people possibly think it is wrong to help others when they are witnesses of the bystander. Most people will make excuses such as “It was all unclear I didn’t know what was going on”. In most cases it is right to help others because they might be suffering and may need
We are told from the time that we are young to take responsibility for our actions, but there are some kids out there that blame their responsibilities on others. Even though they don’t want to take responsibility for their actions someone else has to take responsibility. When being able to be part of the stories you learn things that you wouldn’t ever be able to learn without being part of it. I have learned things the hard way just to find out that I shouldn’t have been doing it in the first place. Here are some thing that I learned from this situation.
I would attempt to change the circumstance or change my response. At times stress can be kept away from. I know my cutoff points and stick to them. I attempt to stay away from individuals who worry me. I would take a gander at my day by day work and settle on the "ought to" and the "must". On the off chance that I can't keep away from a distressing circumstance I would change things to maintain a strategic distance from the issue later on. I would concentrate on the positive things throughout my life. I would share my sentiments and figure out how to excuse stressful inducing behaviours. I would set time for my self with the whole reason and understanding of unwinding and relaxing for
When my mother asked me to read a book a few months ago, I was hesitant to agree. A stressful school year was approaching, and seeing my friends on a Saturday night seemed much more appealing. When I was younger, curling up with a good book was a typical pastime. Then came high school, and reading was replaced with countless hours of studying, cheer practice, and trying to figure out when I could catch up on some much needed rest.
My initial perceptions about the students of St. Angela were very stereotypical. Honestly, I expected those students to come from single parent backgrounds and come from a low income household. I expected to deal with students who live life in a survival type of manner. What I mean by survival type of manner is for one to be on defense seeing the type of the children are from the Austin area. Walking in to St. Angela I expected to deal with kids that didn’t listen and know respect for authority. I expected this due to my upbringing in the same neighborhood.
I’m not going to lie, when Overruled was brought to my attention I was expecting some sort of Cop game or Lawyer game, like Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, but what I got instead was a boring, half assed game that failed to entertain me for more than 1 hour.
I can’t believe this guy, first he brings me in and the next year or so he gives me away. Well I guess that is what humans do these days. At least Danny was nice to me when he brought me in. I can remember the first thing he whispered to me “ I’m never letting go of you.”I guess that's how life is people like you one then the next they throw you away. I wish one of these my owners would keep me forever. I’m never going to like an owner like Danny Agui.

Everyone listen up! Just a few hours ago we were informed that our sister section R3’s main haven was ruthlessly attacked by State Corps division “D”, led by General LaCroix. This isn’t the first time something this devastating has happened and it certainly won't be the last... unless we take matters into our own
The Amazing law of influence states “One life touches another and potentially both lives are changed; one life touches another and potentially the entire world is changed” This was evident in the movie Radio when Coach Jones changed how the world viewed people with special needs by one small act. When Coach Jones was a coaching the JV football team at Hanna high school, he noticed a boy watching them practice day after day, and soon started watching the games. One Day a couple of Coach Jones's players had harassed the boy, locking him up, and throwing balls at the shack they put him in. This boy was soon to be known by the name of Radio. Coach was furious, and within the next couple of days Coach Jones went over and apologizes to Radio, and
I hope all is well. It has been two weeks since your email, so I thought I follow-up with you, give you some info for my siblings and update you about my new certification.
He shoveled the food into his mouth in what somewhat of a grotesque manner, albeit gracefully avoiding anything of real nutritional value on the plate. Sigh, how was it that I had justified coming here to myself? I don’t remember. I resolved to simply be grateful he was nice to look at and ignore the multitudes of meaningless pouring out of his mouth. He didn’t seem to notice. In retrospect I wonder if I ought to feel bad for thinking all those thoughts after watching his carcass fall under the thick metal beams from the ceiling, but I can’t seem to bring myself to it.
I’ve done some things I’m regretful off. I try to run away from my past every second of everyday and I feel like it’s catching up to me. I shouldn’t be so afraid because I was just a victim as he was. I was as innocent and as vulnerable as he was. I carry this weight of guilt every time that I think about everything that I’ve been through. It’s eating me up alive and I’m afraid that these secrets will come out to the light. I don’t think I’ll ever be ready to look back and face the past again. I just want it to all end but if it doesn’t I think I might will.
