Bystander behavior
"The concept is very easy to understand, but avoiding its clutches is very different. Most of us have had the experience of witnessing someone being mistreated or ridiculed and doing absolutely nothing. We stood there and watched it happen. Too often I have felt guilty or ashamed that I did not respond in a manner that I could be proud of. I have come to know however, that my lack of action is an action in and of itself" (Cullen, 2008 p. 58).
