Bystander Psychology: Why Some Witnesses to Crime Do Nothing | Healthland | TIME.com - 18 views

  • The grand jury investigation that resulted in 40 counts of child abuse against Penn State’s former defensive coordinator, Jerry Sandusky, has raised profoundly unsettling psychological and moral questions about the actions — or lack thereof — of others involved in the case.

      At first i think its crazy but then it makes sense to me that why do people that are famous, well known or very amazing in the eyes of others do crazy things like this. I think it is of stress and also to be great they must have been doing something different from everyone else so they must be a little bit crazy!
  • Head football coach Joe Paterno was fired by the university on Wednesday for his failure to intervene upon learning about the alleged long-running abuse.

      I think this should be a very controversial topic because if someone doesn't tell people about someone doing wrong i don't think they should get banned, fired or in trouble because maybe it way to save or help some one but also it could be for bad reasons which is why it is so confusion to me!
  • The most famous instance of witness apathy involves the 1964 murder of 28-year-old Kitty Genovese in New York City. News accounts — and later, social psychology texts — said the victim and her screams were ignored by 38 witnesses as she was stabbed to death on a Queens street. (Genovese’s killer was denied parole this week.)

      Even the thought of this sends shivers down my spine i see how it is sad or frowned upon that no one spoke but also the thought of a sound so blood curdling and real and even seeing a murder it would give rarely anyone the courage to speak i think

What Makes Us Moral - A to Z Health Guide 2007 - TIME | Diigo - 2 views

      I think the quote "He'll respond, 'No, the teacher shouldn't say that," would mean that the child would say that because he has been taught not to push children from multiple other people such as parents teachers or other students. But what wonders me is that if he was happy to comply with eating in the class room even though he has been taught by the teacher not to many many times before, why wouldn't he be happy to comply with the pushing rule? -Kai Wilding

What Makes Us Moral - A to Z Health Guide 2007 - TIME - 16 views

  • We nurse one another, romance one another, weep for one another. Ever since science taught us how, we willingly tear the very organs from our bodies and give them to one another. And at the same time, we slaughter one another.

      I especially love this quote because it explains almost everything to do with the human race. How we live how we act. But at the same time you have to ask yourself is all these actions really for the better? -Kai Wilding
  • those subatomic particles that are created in accelerators and vanish in a trillionth of a second, but in that fleeting instant, we've visited untold horrors on ourselves—in Mogadishu, Rwanda, Chechnya, Darfur, Beslan, Baghdad, Pakistan, London, Madrid, Lebanon, Israel, New York City, Abu Ghraib, Oklahoma City, an Amish schoolhouse in Pennsylvania

      The first part of this sentence actually explains how an atomic bomb works or explodes while the list of places state where murder or war has taken place. This shows how lives can be taken so quickly and with such brute force that people just die everyday from war and murder.

  • “I’ve got enough problems without some stupid boy breaking up with me on Facebook.”

      To many people dating may be a detraction in school but i think it helps set you up for future and gives you a head start as many peoples husbands and wives had met each other in high or middle school.
  • and breakup-themed songs, like Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone,” blasted from the main conference room’s speakers.
    • kai wilding
       
      I think songs like such can have a huge change in people and their actions. Songs and music can have connections and similarities with people and also make people listen to the words or themes suggested by the song, changing people.
  • “racing to update your relationship status after a breakup” is a healthy behavior.
    • kai wilding
       
      I personally don't think that is healthy at all i think that is mean and to self absorbed. I think doing that is like saying breaking up with someone is proving a point instead of just ending the like or love relationship... you can still and should still stay friends.

      I dont belive this is true. Personally our family has many of these traits but on a big scale you cant guess everything with science. Every body has their own personalities and styles and you cant always be right with such big statements such as this essay. There is two faces to a coin and in this particular matter in a personal stand point i disagree with these scientist and contributes.

      This shocks me mostly by the usages and addictions of Teddys brother but aswell of the fact that i didnt know he had a brother. It amazes me that such a prestigious man with such honor can have a brother in the back ground with such a horrible life and actions being shadowed by his brother!!!
