  5. This isn’t about risk management, it’s about doing the right thing.

  6. Bystander Effect • A social phenomenon in which individuals are less likely to offer help in an emergency situation when other people are present • How often do we all look around to see how other people are reacting to a situation?

  7. “The times we've seen someone harassed on the street and didn't intervene; when we've driven past a car stranded by the side of the road, assuming another driver would pull over to help; even when we've noticed litter on the sidewalk and left it for someone else to pick up. We witness a problem, consider some kind of positive action, then respond by doing... nothing. Something holds us back. We remain bystanders.” - We Are All Bystanders, Greater Good magazine, retrieved on 7/22/09

  9. The best way of stopping the bystander effect is to be aware of it. But do we all think about this?

  10. Be aware and take action as an individual. Don’t wait for the group, because the group is waiting for you. • Make a habit out of taking action. What other methods do you think exist that could prevent the Bystander Effect?
