The killing occurred on October 31 at 11:59 PM. 38 persons were at the event, one survived.The interview with the one remaining witness did not go as planned.

The Bystander Effect What is the Bystander Effect?: The Bystander Effect is the more of a crowd there is, the less likely one of the people are to act on something. The more people that do act, the more likely others are to act too. This is similar to the Bandwagon effect, where when someone is doing something, others are likely to follow, even when it isn’t right, due to them being pressured. How does this relate to the incident in class?: This relates to that class period in that some…

Martin Gansberg in the article, “Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn’t Call The Police,” explains that people are apathetic, and they need to take action when there are conflicts. Gansberg supports his claim by describing an actual murder case and the number of people that did nothing when there was a simple solution.

In the books: Romeo and Juliet, And Then There Were None, and To Kill a Mockingbird, the characters in their respected books all show the theme of…

The appalling part about this article is that no one tried to report it at the moment. She screamed her lungs out for help, but not a single person tried to call the cops and just one witness communicated the police after the woman was dead. The occurrence of the…
