Document Summary
Film: by stander apathy help and not one person called the police. People act differently when they have an audience. A young woman was attacked and raped on a city street. People were looking out their windows, but not one person came to. Everyone stood by, and make excuses for not stepping in. Several women attacked in broad day light in a park. No one stepped in, but people took their phones out and started. The group we are in at the time has an effect on what we do in a. Social forces are very powerful videoing it certain situation. In order to be a group you have to do both. Two or more people who identify and interact with one another. Category: those with status in common, such as ethnicity or occupation. Crowd: non-interacting group, such as an audience. But, a common experience could turn a non-group into a group, e. g. a power blackout.
