Document Summary
Behaviour that delivers a noxious stimulus to another person. An act that intended to injure the target. Now that your unique snowfalkiness has been restored, we need to move on quickly. If you look at any social psych textbook, you"ll find 2 chapters usually back to back. What they"re trying to do is say social psychology addresses and deals w/ the good and the bad. The problem is if you ever read the opening two chapters of an altruism chapter designed to talk about how and why humans and wonderful and kind to others, they usually start out w/ the kitty genevies story. Kitty was a young woman who lived in downtown nyc. One day on the way back to her apartment she gets accosted by a guy w/ a knife that does bad things to her. About 100 people on their balconies watched this and did nothing. He attacks her, runs away, comes back and continues.
