Your task is to write a reaction paper to the Kitty Genovese case as it relates to the Bystander Effect and Diffusion of Responsibility. Discuss present day situations that illustrate the bystander effect and reasons you believe contribute to people's unwillingness to offer help during emergency situations. Now that you know that the Bystander Effect and diffusion of responsibility are real psychosocial phenomenons, do you think that going forward you would act differently in a bystander--emergency situation?
