In certain situations you should always follow authority, but in situations like in the story when theres a guy laying on the side of the street I think that you should stop and help even if it will make you late for work or wherever you're going. If someones life is in danger you should alwyas try and help.

No, silence is not content, you never know what someone is going through, like in the bystander story, people could be in shock and have no idea what to do so they stay quiet, but it still isn't consent.

Sometimes it's important to follow authority, but too much of it can be controlling of a person so much that they would be afraid of doing what they want to do.

# data[].attributes.body
Just because someone is quiet doesn't mean they have nothing to say. It's just that they don't want to make the situation worse if they say the wrong thing.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. Everyone does whatever they have to work on in the group their own way. Some people get along with each other while others don't.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, because they be cruel to someone and not even realize what they are doing to that person.

# data[].attributes.body
Not caring to do something is worse than ignorance because you never know what would happen if you step in and help someone with their problem, but not caring means that you don't want to help someone.

# data[].attributes.body
It really depends on the situation. Sometimes the authority is right, but a lot of times it is wrong. For example, in the articles when they did an experiment on people walking past a man hunched over and groaning, many people did not help because they were worried about following authority. They did not want to be late so they didn't stop to help.

In most cases it is important to follow authority but they aren't always right - Abby Parsons

Silence is no where close to even consenting, majority of the time people are silent because they are afraid of what will happen if they say something - Abby Parsons

Not caring is way worse than not knowing because if you don't understand a situation its understandable but if you just don't care thats a bit harsh - Abby Parsons

# data[].attributes.body
During the smoke experiment when there where people not reacting to it there they are being apathy or not caring. In a time when they know something is wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
Silent is not consenting someone might not agree with a social norm and still not say something just for the fact they are afraid of what the others are going to say.

# data[].attributes.body
When the girl was getting stabbed and people did see them but didn't speak up. So they were bing silence and they where just giving permission to the killer basically.

# data[].attributes.body
This statement relates to the articles because in most experiments done, some bystanders were silent. However is someone asked them about it, they would say that they knew what was happening was wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
There is a social norm that all authority is always right and you should follow whatever they say or do, but in most cases this isn't true. The reason for this is because some authority don't always do the right things.

# data[].attributes.body
As being a bystander you could be cruel but also just afraid.

# data[].attributes.body
Consent is approval of something. Being silent does not mean you consent to what is happening. Social Norms reinforce that silence is not consent.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important to follow authority, but you don't always have to.

# data[].attributes.body
Unless the authority is the problem then yes because they should know what to do and how to solve the problem most of the time.

# data[].attributes.body
Being a bystander your not always being cruel because you just stand around and watch maybe you are afraid of something happening to you or you just don’t know how to react to it.

# data[].attributes.body
If you're being silent about something it doesn't always mean that you're consenting to it. Just like when all those people saw Kitty Genovese getting stabbed so many times, the bystanders weren't consenting to it. They were most likely either frightened or not knowing how to help.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important to respect your authority, but not always to follow it.  Just as in the classroom some people

# data[].attributes.body
Yes but there are certain times when it could be alright to not follow authority

# data[].attributes.body
Authority isn't always helpful, just because it is a social norm. Authority can also go against what the right thing to do would be.

# data[].attributes.body
Silence doesn't equal consent because you could be to scared to talk or say something, which I think has nothing to do with consent.

# data[].attributes.body
This statement relates to the article because the opinions of others affects others emotions. For example, when they did an experiment on people who heard a loud noise outside the door, all of them left the room if the confederate suggested it, while not as many left if the confederate did not.

Not entirely true. At some point, authority can be bad. take what Andrew said. Look at the people that listened to Hitler and followed him.

Consent is permission for something to happen or agreement to do something. Silence is not consent. -Ryan

# data[].attributes.body
People do behave different in groups. We read this in the article that when alone people are more likely to reach out and help people. Compared to when in a group of people then confusion of responsibility happens.

# data[].attributes.body
Not necessarily, authority can be helpful but it could also be harmful to you. I think the reason this is said is because it is a social norm to conform to what authority tells you to do so we as a society believe that it is important.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important to always follow authority, because they could keep you safe and out of harm's way.

# data[].attributes.body
Now when it comes to being quiet it does not mean that the person is allowing you to do something or its safe. In the experiment where they filled the smoke with the room say if someone was quiet it may be because they didn't notice it immediately.

# data[].attributes.body
Like when the homeless man was on the side walk bleeding out. Everyone was just walking around him and know was helping him even though most people know they could attest call 911.

# data[].attributes.body
The experiments done on people with different personalities react in very similar ways. Everyone can be cruel, no matter who you are or what you are like.

# data[].attributes.body
Consent is like permission. when you are silent, that has nothing to do with consent.

# data[].attributes.body
Take this towards Hitler he got a lot of people to follow him and him did a lot of cruel stuff and that came from authority. If his soldiers or other followers had stood their ground and said, "this isn't right," then maybe a lot of the cruelty and 🤬 that took place during that time could have been avoided. This was mostly a social norm during that time.

# data[].attributes.body
Consent is the permission for something to happen or agreement to do something. Being silent is not consent. -Ryan

# data[].attributes.body
Psychologists have done many experiments testing if people do react differently in a group. Almost every experiment has ended with a lot of the 'bystanders' not reacting but when done in a one person experiment the bystander almost always helps out.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I agree with this because even if you are not the one causing the harm, standing around doing nothing and letting it happen is basically cruel. For example in the bystander effect, there were 38 people that heard her screams And sti

# data[].attributes.body
People can be cruel based off one decision that they made as for example in the article the people that stood by and watched were cruel which is one decision that they made.

# data[].attributes.body
In the bystander effect you are less likely to help in an emergency is other people are around. Apathy is the lack of concern and the lack of interest.

# data[].attributes.body
Silence and consent are the same but different. When you are letting something bad happen and don't do anything is like telling them its ok to do it. This is why we teach children stealing is bad by telling them it is.

# data[].attributes.body
In the article a lot people are just walking by the man that is hunched over and watching him. Not stopping. They just keep watching whats going on
-Brittney

# data[].attributes.body
Some social norms can be different for different groups so they act differently in different groups.

# data[].attributes.body
Apathy is a lack of concern, feeling, and a lack of interest. The articles show that bystanders are less likely to help in an emergency when other people are present. They are not interested in intervening if they see no one else reacting. -Ryan

Victoria Tinsley                       When someone is in need, and you are with your friends, you may not feel comfortable with taking the responsibility, because you expect someone else to do it, but when you're with family, you may take action, because you want your parents to be proud of you, or because you want to set a good example for your siblings.

Yes and no, this is very situational , authority can stretch its boundaries or be wrong in cases, they may usually know what is best but for us to conform to say Communism, that doesn't mean that the authority knows whats right and wrong, what is right and wrong is usually in the viewers eyes, some people may agree but however others may disagree over various topics.

Consent is the act of getting permission for an action. Silence is not an act of permission. I think in past generations it has been a social norm that silence equals consent, but it is not the reality of things and we need to conform to new standards.

In the article where they were put in the classroom and the smoke was filtered in, even the statistics proved that when some people in the group don't care that reflects onto the rest of the group.

# data[].attributes.body
Silence could equal consent, because people could sit in a room if something is happening and other people will follow their movement, because they will think the other person will help or do something.

Honestly if you think this is true your definitely wrong because their is some cases where people are to scared to speak up towards the question.
This was shown in the article with the two ten year old boy and the three year old, no one in the mall wanted to say anything just incase they were his family or friends.

No one is perfect and does wrong things it just what we do. Cruelty is just one of the many things that we do wrong. In the bystander effect the bystander may be considered cruel by not doing any thing but it may not always be that.

When you are with your friends, yeah everyone has their own personalities, but most of the time everyone in a group does the same thing to fit in. and this is a social norm.

Most of the time yes. Sometimes authorities tell you to do something that is Not morally right.

People can be viewed as cruel because of one decision that they make, or didn't make. Like in the article when no one stopped to help the person in the passageway, that doesn't make them a cruel person, just one cruel decision.

In my opinion, not caring is worse than not understanding. When you see someone in need, some simply do not care, but others don't understand how important it may be to help whoever is in need.

Yes, you are more likely to be more yourself around close friends then to be that same person around strangers. You wouldn't act the same way in a say a church compared to a nightclub, they are 2 different settings so you are more likely to have a different attitude and behavior depending on the situation.

When a bystander sees something horrible happen and doesn't act on it, it doesn't always mean that they're cruel. Sometimes when they see things that have happened they don't know how to react to it because of either how many people are around or because their lack of knowledge of helping out.
