The question is, what would we do to help? Do we even help or do we just watch? Can we at that point in time make up the decision to help? In all circumstances, believe it or not, we are a bystander. Worst, when we decided not to help we actually becomes a part of a bystander effect. What is a bystander? What about bystander effect? Who could be a bystander? Ben, a twelve-year-old boy. Emma, a twenty-five-year-old workaholic. Eddy, a sixty-year-old retiree. Jane, a forty-year-old housewife. On an unfortunate day, a young woman was walking down a block of stairs. She missed the last few steps down and fell to the ground of the staircase landing.
Ben, Emma and Eddy lives on the same block as the woman. All three of them would have to take the stairs if they wants to go out. All the three of them happen to pass by the lady at the same time. Jane was quite sad that she was unable to assist earlier. Diffusion of Responsibility. Evaluation Apprehension. Pluralistic Ignorance.

PETERSBURG, Fla. — As many celebrate Rosh Hashanah this weekend, the Jewish New Year, there's concern over a survey released this past week on the Holocaust. The survey by the "Claims Conference," shows that young adults lack some basic knowledge about the Holocaust and how many Jews were killed. Spectrum Bay News 9's Tim Wronka spoke to officials at the Florida Holocaust Museam in St. Petersburg about the survey and how they're expanding education efforts. "I think surveys like this are alarming and a good reminder and wake up call to all of us," Executive Director Elizabeth Gelman said. The survey found that more than 60 percent who answered didn't know that 6 million Jews were murdered. Florida was one of the lowest scoring states in the country. Like physical trunks full of material, it will allow students to explore the museums' collection virtually.
The Florida legislature recently passed a Holocaust education bill that would standardize curriculum across the state. I was at the wrong place and the wrong time to assist. ‘Completely Senseless’: Mom of 3 Killed in Hollywood Shooting was Innocent Bystander: Friend – NBC 6 South Florida.

They are also asking the public for help in identifying the driver of a vehicle that may have been used in the shooting. Hollywood Police Department Mandy Rojas, Campbell's close friend, believes she wasn't the intended target of the shooting. Local “She was an innocent bystander in the shooting and the intended target was the neighbor and she just got caught in the crossfire," Rojas said Tuesday. Rojas said the 35-year-old Campbell worked as a doula at Blessings, Births and Beyond. “She was a breath of fresh air. There were other people to help. Study shows 'Bystander Effect' not exclusive to humans.
A rat is less likely to help a trapped companion if it is with other rats that aren't helping, according to new research from the University of Chicago that showed the social psychological theory of the "bystander effect" in humans is present in these long-tailed rodents.
The study, titled "The Bystander Effect in Rats," also demonstrated that in the presence of other potential helper rats, rats are more, rather than less, likely to help. Whether helping is facilitated or suppressed depends on the circumstances rather than on personal temperament or morals, a finding with implications for human society. The research, published in the July 8 issue of Science Advances, builds off previous research on rat empathy.
In 2011, Peggy Mason, PhD, professor of neurobiology and senior author of the study, and her UChicago team of researchers found that rats consistently freed trapped companions, even saving a bit of chocolate for them, and this behavior was driven by a rat version of empathy. Bystander Effect.
