Studies show, if running late for class, only 10% of cBers would stop to give any aid to Sandy if they saw her bumming on the streets If asked, 32% of cBers would say this is the same size as this if JC, Brandon, and Carrie all told you they were. Ever been harassed by a mod who acted like a major douchebag, warning and banning you for no reason? Science says that if the roles were reversed, you'd likely act the same way. Studies show that 8 out of 10 cBers would torture the shit out of a puppy if Steven asked them to. wat |

People are not "inconsiderate" or "selfish", because if you were in that situation, you would probably do the same. You can deny it all you want, but the evidence shows it. People fail to act when they are in a large group. For example, when someone is walking down a crowded street and they see a woman being sexually harassed by some thug (CRACK A JOKE AND DIE), they usually will do nothing. They have the mentality that someone else will take care of it. Ironically, we are more inclined to do something when we are absolutely alone.
QUOTE Studies show, if running late for class, only 10% of cBers would stop to give any aid to Sandy if they saw her bumming on the streets I read that it also depends on whether or not you were reminded to be a good Samaritan beforehand, i.e. you were asked to read a specific excerpt from the Bible. So that, combined with free time, you were much more likely to help somebody. Y'all need to read The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. |

Y'all need to read The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. i'll look into it. i won't deny that in every situation i would pass the opportunity to help someone in need. but i know if in specific situations like seeing someone slip something in someone's drink or a person laying in the road i would definitely do something to help. |
