what would you do?

I was watching this like crazy last week! I think it's because I don't want to study and this makes me feel a bit better about it because it's at least a bit related to psychology...

So anyways, they hire actors to do something that goes against our ethics & then they record peoples reactions..

They do this with all sorts of stuff...
unwanted flirtation
a waitress hitting on your boyfriend/girlfriend right in front of you
a dad rejecting her daughters boyfriend because he's black
bum bashing (the intro into that one seriously made me cry)

We all think we'd be the ones doing something & standing up but actually when all comes to all nobody does anything... We all look around pretending everything is alright to see if anyone else is reacting. & since everyone else is doing the exact same thing all you'll find is others being calm, when in fact they're doing the same as you thinking "wait, should i do something??" So basically at the end we are tricking ourselves into thinking everything is ok.... does that make any sense??

Here's one episode.. people actually walk past a kid that's lost. You'd like to think that if your kid would get lost someone would stop on the street and see if it's alright... buuut as it turns out almost nobody does.

I just went from one video to the next from the suggestions at the end of each video..

have fun!
