People think wrong when there is a murder happing


Why people Don't Help In a Crisis, published in 1968, and written by John Darley
and Bib Lantane, illustrates that people do not help in a crisis. When Andrew
Mormille got stabbed on the New York City Subway Train, no one did anything to
help. Everyone that saw the murder happen just looked around to see if anyone
going to help the victim. No One knew what to do so all that they did was hope for
the best outcome of it all. As soon as I noticed that the crisis was going on, I would
have done anything I could to help the ones in danger.
