The "Bystander effect" was a lie to cover up #police apathy, and the New York Times ran with it.

The capacity for self-destruction is a universal human trait - both individually and collectively.

And despite millions of years of human evolution, we don't seem to be able to get past the hand-wringing & tut-tutting of the #BystanderEffect.

Yes 👆. School governors, trustees and staff are just custodians.

My top tip is to ask everybody (e.g. via newsletter) and then directly contact individuals if you need to. I think the global approach has worse return than 1:1 discussion.

The Anatomy of Omission: Narrative Decapitation and the Ethics of Moral Allegory in Union Station’s The Hangman The translation of a narrative from one medium to another is rarely a simple act of transcription; it is a transformative process that requires a hierarchy of values.

Adapting The Hangman without its ending isn’t restraint—it’s surrender. Ogden’s poem is a warning that only works if the rope finally tightens.

Wir gehen davon aus, dass andere in einer Notsituation etwas tun. Wenn etwas Schreckliches in einer öffentlichen Umgebung passiert, können wir eine Art Schock und mentale Lähmung erleben, die uns von unserem Gefühl der persönlichen #Verantwortung ablenkt.

"THE 911 KILLER: MURDER THAT CHANGED AMERICA" 📞 THE KILLING THAT CREATED 911 EMERGENCY SERVICES 📞 Winston Moseley didn't just murder Kitty Genovese he accidentally changed how America responds to emergencies forever. This brutal 1964 stabbing in Queens became the most studied murder in criminology history, not just for its savagery, but for what it revealed about human nature and society's failures. 💀 Thirty-eight witnesses allegedly watched from their apartment windows as Moseley stalked, stabbed, and sexually assaulted his victim over the course of 30 minutes. Not one person called police. The "bystander effect" was born from this case, forever changing how we understand why people fail to help in emergencies. But the real story is even darker than the myth. Moseley was a serial killer who confessed to multiple murders and rapes, yet this case became famous for all the wrong reasons. The media narrative that blamed witnesses overshadowed the true horror of what this monster did to innocent women. 🔪 The psychiatric interviews that revealed his twisted psychology. The prison escape that terrorized New York. The victims nobody talks about. The legal precedents that emerged from his trials. How one killer's actions led to the creation of 911 emergency services nationwide. Warning: Contains graphic descriptions of sexual violence and murder, as well as disturbing psychological analysis of a repeat offender who showed no remorse for his crimes. True crime historians call this "the murder that changed everything" and "the case that proves how one killer can reshape society." 📞 Ready to learn how murder created the system that saves lives today?

Kitty Genovese was attacked outside her building in Queens. The media reports claimed that many neighbors heard or saw parts of the assault did nothing to help.

Your story is the message. Your story is your legacy 🎙️ Episode 50 — “Your Story Is the Message. Your Story Is Your Legacy” Featuring: Tamara L. Dillard | Author, Clinical Social Worker, Therapist, Foster Care Advocate, Foster Alumni Podcast: Resilient Voices & Beyond Podcast — Season 3  Host: Michael D. Davis-Thomas In this milestone 50th episode and the Season 3 of the Resilient Voices & Beyond Podcast, host Michael D. Davis-Thomas sits down once more with powerhouse advocate and returning guest, Tamara L. Dillard, to discuss her emotionally searing and transformative debut memoir, “Letters to the Village.” This isn’t just a conversation—it’s a reckoning. With honesty that cuts and compassion that heals, Tamara invites us into the sacred corridors of her lived experience in Kentucky’s foster care system—where pain and policy intersect, where community was both absent and found, and where healing arrived not as a gift but as a decision. Her memoir, structured as a series of unfiltered letters to the helpers, hurters, and bystanders in her life, challenges us to consider: What kind of villager have you been? What kind will you choose to become? Together, Tamara and Michael explore what it means to write from wounds, not for pity but for purpose. They unpack the emotional labor of storytelling while managing PTSD, and they speak to the burden—and blessing—of advocacy as foster care survivors. Michael reflects on the bystander effect within systems and communities, while Tamara calls for intentional, systemic, and personal accountability. It’s a bold, layered conversation about trauma, memory, forgiveness, authorship, and the audacity of telling your truth when silence would be easier. Tamara’s voice is prophetic, measured, and fierce. Her writing process wasn’t linear—it was sacred warfare. She shares how “Letters to the Village” nearly broke her but ultimately rebuilt her—chapter by chapter, truth by truth. In closing, Michael reflects on the growth of Resilient Voices & Beyond through its third season, emphasizing the continued need for listener support, community sponsorship, and sustainability as he carries this labor of love forward. This Episode isn’t the  ending—it’s an altar call for justice, truth-telling, and restorative storytelling. Because your story is the message. And your story—yes, yours—is your legacy. 📚 Read “Letters to the Village” — Available now. 📢 Support this podcast through donations, sharing, and ongoing engagement.

🚨Silence ≠ Compliance. Lessons from Star Trek: The Original Series demonstrate why empowering bystanders, not just victims, is crucial for fostering a genuine speak-up culture.

The Bystander Effect The bystander effect is a social psychological phenomenon where individuals are less likely to offer help to a victim when other people are present. The presence of others creates a diffusion of responsibility, leading to inaction and increased costs for the victim.

Ever heard of the bystander effect? It's when people are less likely to help someone in need if others are around. This can lead to serious consequences for victims. Let's break the cycle and encourage proactive support in our communities! #BystanderEffect #SocialPsychology #MakeADifference #chaos

Is there a similar concept for IT failures to the #BystanderEffect

i.e. most users won't report a fault to a IT help desk because "someone else will surely do it" much like most people will walk past a guy collapsed in a.l busy street?
