Bystander Effect

Here is video that got a lot of a attention in the media a few years ago. A 78 year old man was hit by car in the middle of the road in broad day light. He laid on the floor while many passerby's just stared and did not help. No one even called the police (luckily a cruiser happened to come by on it's own). The reason no one helped may be the result of the bystander effect where people are less likely to help if there are others present because they assume someone else will help. - Nafees Hamid A07974157
