523 Words3 Pages
In the video “What would you do?”, it shows that almost everyone walked by a girl who was about to get kidnapped. Do you think the people who walked by are guilty for not stepping in? “The Lottery”, by Shirley Jackson, “Scottsboro Case”, and the video “What would you do?” are all good examples how bad things happen in front of people but decide not to do anything about it. If someone saw something bad that happened and easily could have done something about it but didn’t, then they should be guilty. Many conflicts can be solved if people spoke up instead of staying silent. In “The Scottsboro Case”, twelve boys went to court for a crime they did not even commit. They were said to be guilty for “raping 2 white women on top of a train”(Horton).
