In this video, you see an older man walk across a two lane highway. There are no cars in the lane that he is crossing. Suddenly, two cars cross the double yellow line and hit the man. The two cars turn on the next street. They don’t even stop. No one helped him. No one did anything. Finally, the police come to help the man. My reaction to this video is why did no one help him? Why did the cars not stop? Why did they cross a double yellow line in the first place? If we can just walk away from things
This video was an experiment on how normal everyday people are capable of awful things, just by listening to somebody telling them what to do. A scientist told the people in the experiment that they were a teacher, and were to give the learner powerful shocks if they got the answers wrong. It went from a 45 voltage shock to a 450 shock. They were given a 45 voltage shock themselves, and all of the felt the pain and thought the voltage was much higher, so they knew the pain the “learner” would feel
