| Description | Have you ever walked down the street and came upon a man who obviously needed help? Have you willingly offered a helping hand? Or have you decided that soon goes around certainly someone who can help better, and you continue walking, or join the crowd of onlookers spectators of the event? If you have become actors in the second scenario, you were witnessing a situation in which bystander effect was observed. Present time, depending on the globalization and many other specifics, he forgets for a general willingness to help and described the bystander effect is a shining example. Due to the peril that human passivity hides are apparent efforts to improve the mechanisms in the social environment that can prevent problem situations. Among them is the idea of heroism. Spiritual father, who spearheaded the movement for the improvement of society through the heroic ideal, is known professor emeritus of psychology at Stanford University, Philip Zimbardo. |
