Understanding the psychology of these situations can help increase the chances that bystanders will step up when people need assistance, but it does not excuse the failures of those who do nothing.
- Hana Ra on 30 Jan 12
  
  I dont think that one would just stand up for someone when they are a bystander just because they understand the problems of not taking actions of being a bystander because like people say, "It's hard to talk the walk."

“It’s the norms and the values of the group that are important,”
- Hana Ra on 30 Jan 12
  
  I definitely agree with this statement because we are always wondering how we can just always be "with the crowd" and stick with all of the cool people; thinking about what decisions we should make for the group and not for ourselves

"The idea that you can save the life of a stranger on the other side of the world by making a modest material sacrifice is not the kind of situation our social brains are prepared for," says Greene.
- Hana Ra on 10 Jan 12
  
  Do yo ever notice that we ca never make a decision when something is related to the death of a person? I think that this is because not only our minds think its wrong, but the people around us influence us to say that it is wrong to risk the life of a person. Don't you think that's why they never talk much about death in school? Because the people don't want us to be in a situation like that. But what if it does happen?

If a colony of animals practices that give-and-take well, the group thrives
- Hana Ra on 10 Jan 12
  
  This shows people that animals aren't as unintelligent as we think. This could possibly show how animals have the advantage over us because they keep their lives simple, doing what they need to survive, but also show empathy when necessary.

You're standing near a track as an out-of-control train hurtles toward five unsuspecting people. There's a switch nearby that would let you divert the train onto a siding. Would you do it? Of course. You save five lives at no cost. Suppose a single unsuspecting man was on the siding? Now the mortality score is 5 to 1. Could you kill him to save the others? What if the innocent man was on a bridge over the trolley and you had to push him onto the track to stop the train?
- Hana Ra on 10 Jan 12
  
  I think that this is the down-side to having empathy. You always have to be on a side: Left, right, or neutral.

She knows a thing or two about Facebook-related breakups: her last relationship ended, she said, because her ex-boyfriend couldn’t handle her male friends posting niceties on her wall.

  Does this show that teens don't really try to think things through before they make a desicion?

They may wish to drive us apart but we will not give in to their hatred and prejudice
- Hana Ra on 12 Sep 11
  
  Hmm... If you think about this quote more carefully, wouldn't you think that America is actually driving itself apart. This is because America is now having debt problems which seem to have an affect on all of the American citizens

Humans, more sentimental than birds, trees or litter bearers, don't like to see themselves as coming from the same child-rearing traditions, but we face many of the same pressures
- Hana Ra on 02 Sep 11
  
  I think this really shows that animals and humans alike have the same problems whether it is physically or mentally

Mark Moffett Ants | The 'Jane Goodall of ants' - Los Angeles Times - 45 views

shared by Hana Ra on 19 Aug 11 - No Cached

Scouting strategy allows the ant foragers to search far and wide and therefore to find much more, but after one of the scouts does find something — say a prey she wants to kill — she often has to go get help, which gives the prey lots of time to escape.
- Hana Ra on 26 Aug 11
  
  This is very interesting..I never knew that ants were so intelligent! But, I thought that there only such things as boy ants and not girl ants (not including the queen) that work!

Slavery turns out to be very rare in nature

  This shows how sometimes humans are actually the stupidest animal on the planet! Slavery is not common in nature, so why should it be common in the human world?!!!
