The experiments were testing the conditions, essentially why people would ignore the cries of one another for aid, and the circumstances where compassion embraces sway (Slater 93). They had been careful in setting up the temporary situations; therefore, mimicked the murder of Genovese. In the murder case, the witnesses saw each other, but they did not communicate since the glass panels separated them. The fact stipulates that people are often reluctant to assist and intervene to an individual who needs help, especially when other people are inexistent to each other. The bystander effect has given an explanation on why people are less willing to help a person in distress, especially when other people are present. Otherwise, individuals are concerned about being evaluated negatively for taking part in the altruistic behavior, when the costs of assisting outweigh those associated to not assisting, and when people are unable to find out a person in need. Moreover, the bystander effect gives implication to reduce its occurrence. Possible methodologies could incorporate teaching a person’s community and altruistic-oriented perspectives through role modeling. Role modeling is a person who sets a good example for the greater good of beliefs for society. There is a lack of role modeling in society. For instance, after a shocking announcement of a presidential election 2016, Donald J. Trump won against the democratic president candidate, Hillary R. Clinton, with the most Electoral College votes. It has shocked nearly all of the anti-Trump supporters who were confident that Clinton would win the election, and it caused a fear of white supremacists appearing across the U.S. nation. Consequently, nobody stood up for the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transsexual) members, minorities, such as people of color, disabled people, and immigrants, and the anti-Trump supporters when they were verbally or physically attacked by the white supremacists; the white supremacists vehemently shouted remarks that are racists and grabbing religious object off the people, such as yarmulke or hijab. Therefore, most of Americans felt unsafe without a good role model to stand up and speak for them. In order to respond in a dire situation, a person needs to become a role model for society to stand up to the white supremacists. The reason for this is to lessen the bystander effect. Darley and Latané depicts that “we should now know that the best way to respond to the possible crisis is to err on the side of caution” (Slater 94). Individuals regularly fail to help, especially when the bystanders are existent; however, it is not necessarily true. Sometimes, individuals are willing to go out of their way to help strangers other than their family members and friends. Likewise, in the post-election protesting, most protesters chose to help support and defend the LGBT members, minorities, and the anti-Trump supporters, who were being suppressed by the white supremacists. There is a good reason for people to provide a help in this situation.
