https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc What was your reaction to the video? Would you have stopped to help him? Be honest! What are your thoughts on these types of social experiments? en-us 2018-05-06 23:50:56 UTC 2025-12-05 08:24:54 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359516877 I was really shocked on what i was looking at. Hundreds of people were just passing by not even trying to make eye contact with the boy. The older homeless man helped the boy because he knew what it was like to be homeless. I was really happy that the homeless man decided to give his jacket to the freezing boy. I would try my best to help that boy.
If you help someone in need, that makes you a better person.]]> 2019-05-13 15:04:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359516877 https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517079 I was honestly really shocked that no one had stopped to help the boy. Although my parents always tell me that if someone is homeless, they usually are from drugs, except this was just a kid, and no one even thought twice and walked away. I personally would not have stopped to help him, even though I would have felt insanely bad about it. I usually feel pressured by peer pressure, and in that scenario, I therefore would not stop. I was also kind of shocked that the one person that helped the boy was a homeless person himself, even though he didn't dress like one. These social experiments almost seem kind of cruel to the people in my opinion, to show how rude and ignorant the people are. I think it was almost rude and embarrassing to the man when the directors told him that the kid on the ground was just an experiment. I personally am not a huge fan of these experiments, but they do show some inspiring moments.]]> 2019-05-13 15:05:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517079 https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517140 I thought that it was really cool how another homeless man helped another man and i thought that it was cool how the people came up ]]> 2019-05-13 15:05:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517140 https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517178 I think that more people should have stopped to help him. He was right next to a clothing store, and I thought that surely someone would go in the store and just buy a single piece of clothing for him. I think that some people don't realize how important one small gesture could make a big impact on someone else's life. A cheap blanket can cost less than 10 dollars. I think I would have stopped to help him, and I probably would just go buy a blanket for him. I think social experiments like this don't show accurately what people would do. At one point he just climbed in a garbage bag. If I saw a kid climbing into a garbage bag I would probably wonder what he was doing, but I don't think that I would believe he was homeless.]]> 2019-05-13 15:05:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517178 https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517275 As I was watching the video, I was shocked to see that nobody was helping him. Lots of people just passed by and didn't even talk to him, let alone look at him. I was really glad that another homeless guy went to help him. I probably would've at least stopped or gave him money or something like that. These social experiments make you realize how hard it is for some people and also how some people can be so careless that they don't even help someone struggling. ]]> 2019-05-13 15:05:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517275 https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517307  ]]> 2019-05-13 15:05:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517307 https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517338 I was very surprised that no one would help a poor freezing kid trying to stay warm in a trash bag! I would have stopped even if my family didn't want me too. I would have gave him at least my hat and gloves and if I had 2 jackets on. These types of social experiments really just open your eyes and make you realize how hard it is for people and how much they really are struggling. ]]> 2019-05-13 15:05:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517338 https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517364 While watching this video, I was shocked that nobody helped the kid. I feel like in today's society it is hard to give money to homeless people because some people fake it to earn money, but watching this video made me realize how important and lucky we are to live in the community that we live in today. It was amazing to see a homeless man help another homeless child because they connect and have a bond that we will never have with a homeless person unless we experience what they're going through. I would've stopped to help the child because it would be the right thing to do. I personally like Social Experiment videos.]]> 2019-05-13 15:05:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517364 https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517496 Johnny vargo]]> 2019-05-13 15:05:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517496 https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517499 2019-05-13 15:05:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517499 https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517547 i thought that it was really kind and cool of another homeless man giver the homeless kid his jacket and some money to get some food because the homeless kid was starving Ryan ellberg ]]> 2019-05-13 15:05:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517547 https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517590 my reaction to this video was that it  was crazy how another homeless person who did not have a lot of money himself stopped to give away a jacket to another person. I was shocked because the other homeless person doesn't have a lot of money to spare for himself but he still gave him his jacket.  I probably would not have helped because I would not want t walk around in the cold and if I was out, I don't carry money with me. If I was carrying money and I was outside, I would have helped if I saw. I think that this type of social experiment is important to see because it shows how little people care about helping others.]]> 2019-05-13 15:06:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517590 https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517637 2019-05-13 15:06:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517637 https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517717 I thought it was really good that the other homeless person gave him his coat even though that he dose not have much money ether ]]> 2019-05-13 15:06:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517717 https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517772 My reaction to the video was that I was really surprised that it took two hours for someone to help and that the man that did help was homeless. It's really interesting that the one person that helped was also struggling and having a hard time but was still willing to help. Honestly I don't think I would have helped but that is because I don't think I would of had anything o give to the kid. But I do know that I would at least want to help. I think these types of social experiments are interesting and it's sad that so few people are willing to help. I do think though that it's good to see how society reacts to these situations.]]> 2019-05-13 15:06:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517772 https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517799 My response to the video was really shocked, I thought for sure someone would have helped the boy because he is a young boy. Throughout the video I was thinking, would I have helped the boy? Yes, because he is still young, and did nothing wrong to get in the situation he is in now. So I would have given him my gloves, hat, or jacket if i had one.]]> 2019-05-13 15:06:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517799 https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359517899 After so many people pasted the little boy some didn't even look at him some didn't try to help they just walked away some people looked liked they wanted to help the little boy but didn't.

If I were in that situation I probably would have done the same thing and helped him because I felt so bad for the man.

I also was surprised that it took 2 hours for someone to stop by this boy and give him money or just talk to him. I definitely would've stopped to help him. He was freezing in the cold and I think that any good and caring person would have or should've stopped and helped him. I think that these social experiments can be good and bad. I think they are good because we can learn something about our human nature and what people will do in situations like these. I also think it is bad because people have to go through these bad things for the social experiment. ]]> 2019-05-13 15:07:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359518680 https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359605670 I thought it was really good that the other homeless person gave him his coat even though that he dose not have much money ether and he still gave him money I felt bad for the kid and these experiments because it shows how kids can also can be homeless and people stand up for one another ]]> 2019-05-13 17:59:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359605670 https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359843412 it was really horrifying and heart breaking to see what our society has come too. People that are wealthy should help the boy not a homeless person but i think that the homeless person knew how it felt and helped him. if i was walking past i would stop and ask what can i do to help? i have seen so of the videos and they are really intersecting. i think that there should be more so when people watch them, they realize that they can make a difference ]]> 2019-05-14 11:41:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359843412 https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359893980 I do not think I would have stopped because I usually don't have money or something to offer to someone. I always feel bad but I am never able to help.

My thoughts on these types of social experiments is that what if someone actually helped them, then they would be giving their stuff to someone who's really homeless. Would I have stopped to help him? If I had any change or money in my pockets, I would.]]> 2019-05-14 14:02:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359906941 https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359945354 I find it extremely heartbreaking that nobody helped, but I don't believe the pedestrians are heartless people. People are used to not helping homeless people. It's sad but true, and many try to justify themselves by saying, "They'll just spend it on drugs," or "Why are they homeless in the first place!". I believe the reason nobody stopped for the boy is because this ideology of homeless people still rung true in most of their minds, even though this person is literally a child. I'm quite dumbfounded that we've created a society were we've desensitized ourselves to the homeless and never try to help. Maybe we see ourselves not being able to help. Maybe we care more for ourselves than others (which makes sense in an evolutionary standpoint. We need to understand that one person can make a difference in a homeless person's (or anybody's) life. As a society, we're nearly blinded by the crowd, doing whatever the majority is doing. Because most people don't help the homeless, this convinces nearly everyone to do nothing to help them. Just from the responses I've seen in this padlet so far, I think it's safe to assume my generation will break the mold of not helping those in need. However, we are so young, and usually have no cash on us, and it's not like we can just give up our coats or food without parents telling us not to. If I was older and came across a kid like this, I can say I would most likely give him money, because no child should have to beg for money in New York, sleep in a trash bag on the ground, and stand in the freezing cold. It's insane that out of the possible millions of individuals who walked past him, not a single one did anything. They had an opportunity to change a life for the better, and did absolutely nothing with it. If we can shift our mindset as a community, I believe we could do truly wonderful things, and help so many more people because we aren't scared to give. ]]> 2019-05-14 15:07:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359945354 https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359947245 My reaction to the video was at first kind of confused, considering that people would walk by and look at him, but none of them would actually help him. The one thing I also was surprised would be that some would walk up to him, but never do anything. Probably the one thing I would've done would buy him some food and buy him a coat as well, more importantly the coat if I couldn't get the food. My thoughts on these social experiments is that by doing these it helps shows other the morals or ideas that you wanna teach, especially if you do them in public.]]> 2019-05-14 15:10:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kedison/ctl57tudnutc/wish/359947245
