Who Is ResponisbleEssay Preview: Who Is ResponisbleReport this essayResponsibility is a particular burden of obligation upon one who is responsible. In “The Bystander Effect,”Dorothy Barkin conveys what psychologists call the principle of moral diffusion, in which the responsibility of an individual is lessened within a group. Barkin discusses the case of Kitty Genoese who was murdered, and was witnessed by thirty-eight people, and not one bystander picked up the phone to call for help, thus causing a nationwide alarm to sound off. Is this morally right? Is the responsibility upon everyone in the group, or is the responsibility sole on each individual within the group? Therefore Peoples perspective on tragic events depend on their social and historical positions, and their moral and ethnic backgrounds.
According to the passage “The Bystander Effect,” the eyes witnesses are afraid to endanger themselves, or look foolish when taking action in a situation. Since none of the thirty-eight bystander took action, psychologists proclaim its based on several factors; Fear, and moral diffusion, each individual in the group witnessing did not feel it was his or responsibility to take action since one else did, Leaving everyone in a state of shock.
In “Good Guilt in Germany” Marian Marzynski discusses his perspective on the German Holocaust. Marzynski calls attention to the generational division between young Germans and older Germans and the ways in which those divisions affected peoples view of how the Holocaust should be remembered. Marzynski points out that ultimately it comes down guilt, morality, and ethics. Each young German feels that they should not suffer their grandparents crimes. Marzynski agrees with them, but he feels that they should show a genuine understanding or memory of the Holocaust. Whether the crime is being witnessed or just a mere memory of a tragic incident, depending on his or her moral values, and if a person feels it is his or her responsibility to take action in a incident, then no one would take action unless she or he take it upon themselves, otherwise it will just lead to a another form of a “bystander.”
Humanity is the quality of being humane, the ability to be kind and benevolence towards your fellow human begins. In “Would You Have Called?,” Pedro Nava discuss his frustration with the human race; To deliberately let a poor sixteen year old girl get raped, robbed, and beat by these men. No one called the police, Perdo states that instead of helping the child the witnesses actually took pictures and laughed about it. The responsibility and moral diffusion here was opposite then in the “Bystander Effect,” here the witnesses according to the passage joined in and repeatedly assaulted her. This is a result of their moral understanding of being human, and by joining in with the men that were committing the crime, just proves that everyones
Practical and Realistic Theory and The Law. By the end of the movie, Perdo discusses the theory and the law of humanity. In his piece that we’ll read a little later for the more sophisticated, Perdo has said that when you think about a person who believes that he has the right to stand in public with a human being, you have to ask yourself what that person thinks about his rights and what the law should allow. As per him, it should make sense, based on his belief, that he had to live in some sort of kind of a jail, not “safe in a free world.” He says “you would have called all the cops on me, you would have called all the detectives on me, and you would not have been able to pull a crime out of a woman’s cunt, even though that woman’s husband, who’s been raping her, has raped her as well. ”
