After the death of George Floyd it was found that the amount of African Americans with anxiety and depression had increased since the event.
I learned that while the rate of anxiety and depression was increasing for African and Asian Americans, it remained the same for white Americans because they weren't being directly effected by the events.

Findings from a survey that originally intended to track the effects Corona Virus had on different racial or ethnic groups tracked the large rise in percent screening for anxiety/ or depression within the black and asian community. Both communities had seen a big increase just a week from the George Floyd situation. Latin Americans, who had started with the highest percentage for anxiety/ depression, had their community rates drop as the black and asian communities began to get more attention. Experts say this may be a reflection of some relief after three years of intense focus.

Riots and looting often occur after peaceful protests don't make any change. When protestors start to show violent behavior, they get more media attention than they would in a peaceful protest because people tend to focus more on the "bad" behavior.

Sheza Ayub - In Wake Of George Floyd's Death, Psychologist Reexamines Racial Bias In Policing.

This article is about how racial bias impacts the decision-making within the police departments. The article explains that due to violent crimes being associated with black faces, it's the power in thinking that violent crime can lead people to focus their attention on black faces.

I have learned that, due to this, Stanford University’s Dr. Jennifer Eberhardt has been working with the police departments in creating a program called "implicit bias trainings". This program helps force police officers into making asking themselves if "this stop is intelligence-led, yes or no?", meaning that if they have prior knowledge of this person to this crime. This has made a huge difference in decision-making within the police departments.

This article discusses the psychology of decision making and why people would  choose to by stand during Floyds murder. Psychologist Francesca Gino concluded that refusal to stand up can be linked to the possible risks that come with it. People are afraid to go against the norm and be the first to speak out because it can have a negative impact on their status.   I learned that this  same phenomenon can be used to combat by standing.  If leaders can define and live by strong values that encourage activism others will perceive that as the norm and follow in suit.

The article was centered around the "Bystander Effect," which refers to the mindset of an individual who doesn't take action when seeing wrongdoing. This effect was shown in the events of George Floyd's death and the police officers present at the scene who didn't stop what was happening. Psychology is relevant in this case as it explained that witnesses of injustice occurring over the past couple of years, especially when accompanied by others, expected the others to speak up, so they don't end up doing anything. Another reason why the Bystander Effect impacts witnesses, psychologists state, is that people are afraid of the consequences they may face if they say something.

After George Floyd's death, Dr. Jennifer Eberhardt conducted a study to examine racial bias in policing. In this study, Eberhardt discovered that, there are racial biases in policing; however, these bias can be managed with implicit bias training and having the officer question their own actions.
After reading this article, I learned that police officer are more likely to think of shooting, apprehending, capturing, or arresting when seeing a black person's face instead of a white person's face. I also learned that racial biases in policing can be managed by having officer question if their actions are led by prior information that links this specific person to a specific crime.

The article said that a lot of these protests and a lot of the anger from the black community wasn't just because of the George Floyd incident but it was the climax of a series of protests over the last 6 years. The article also touched on the fact that a lot of white counter protesters  struggle to understand the black community and their struggles and only see the outrage as a result of one isolated incident when its reality the culmination of 400 years of systematic oppression.

I learned from reading this article that race and the culture surrounding race can have a major impact on how people react or view certain issues.

The article talks about the bystanders of the death of George Floyd and why they might have not reacted the way we believe is right. Francesca Gino states its toxic culture in the workplace. Even talking about police culture in Minneapolis having to be taken into consideration for their actions. Many things can factor into this like them all just simply believing everything they do is okay and making reasons for themselves. As well as fear that the other coworkers may have for speaking out.

After the tragedy of Floyd, the percentage of depression and anxiety have increased a lot among the Africans Americans. Also, this tragedy affected the Asian Americans as well. Data has been recorded before and after the pandemic and on what happened to Floyd.

Rioting is a form of protesting that a small amount of protesters engage in. These actions include breaking and entering, property damage/vandalism, looting, etc. Riots can come from failed peaceful protests that failed to bring change. Some looters do this to reclaim their dignity after eduring the abuse from police and other authorities or as a way to get more media attention.
I learned that some people are influenced to start riots and engage in violent acts as a way to "reclaim their dignity after decades of abuse from police", maybe they see it as revenge.

In this article it explained how when we’re with a group of people and one person in the group is doing something wrong, the others are less likely to speak up as they believe someone will first. Research also shows that when in a group and one person is doing something wrong, however, is able to get away with it, then it makes others in the group more inclined to do the wrong thing. These are all apparent because we as people feel the need to either follow what others do to avoid being judged for not doing so, which can lead to anxiety and stress.

The main point of this article was about why people protest and why others may not like the protests. A psychologist explained that people began to protest as a way to cope with the traumatic racist tragedies. They also explained people may not support protests because they can not empathize for the people who are affected by racism.

Individuals who fall under the bystander effect typically have a social fear of being socially perceived. Individuals who fail to help aide others often are believe that someone else will take responsibility and accountably whether or not it would be good for their reputation. Especially in the George Floyd case. Individuals fell under the bystander effect due to the fear of confronting a higher authority - that is being the police officer - in concern that someone else would take over and confront the officer.
