In Queens, NY, in 1964 , Kitty Genovese was brutally beaten and murdered in front of 38 residents who saw fight for his life for half an hour . None stepped in to help , although not stopped screaming for help . This report led to an investigation that scientists called " syndrome of the beholder" .
The study found that if a person witnesses a crime is likely to get involved and try to help the victim . But as a growing number of witnesses the chances that help diminish drastically. " When people are in a group, the responsibility to act is diluted ." Everyone thinks that someone else will call 911 and why ... no one ends up doing !

The Bible also speaks of this social dynamic when he says : " All we like sheep" . It says as " wolves " but as "sheep" How is a sheep astray ? They spend their lives looking at the rear of the other sheep , assuming that there is a pastor in front of the flock. The movement of sheep rear look is mesmerizing . It's a strange sense of security. The comment can recognize because usually things like : " We must be going on track, look at the amount of rear before us. Rear many sheep can not be wrong ! "
If you do not raise your eyes and do something , chances are galleys syndrome viewer. The fact that there are hundreds before you, does not mean you necessarily go on track. Do something TODAY !
