Problem I have with these little experiments are they could escalate real fast.. There was one where an elevator would open and two guys were inside with one being strangled. The goal was to see how people reacted once the doors opened and they were about to step into this. I could see someone getting seriously hurt and all for someone's experiment to see how people react.
Excellent video addressing the problem of bullying.
But like Laurie said, it can easily get out of hand, and people don't like to put themselves in danger whatever their reaction is. What if there is a gun involved? Or a gang doing it?
But that's why the bad guys often win, because other people don't get involved. The bullies make themselves feel powerful by beating up on someone more vulnerable. Abusees often become abusers.
I think educating re: bullying and how to handle it by reporting it and getting help needs to begin very young. But even among the very young, everyone hates a tattler.
A dilemma.
