The Bystander Effect, The Helper Effect, Social Purpose, Advertising that Sells Peace Not Products and Feel Good Vids

“Mission Bells Ring, Are You Listening?”

This week:
The Bystander Effect and its Opposite, The Helper Effect
If you think one person’s decisions and actions don’t matter, this will change your mind!

The first vid is instructive in understanding the Bystander effect, & the TED talk that follows discusses that and then goes beyond to the Helper Effect.
It’s uplifting to remember that there is good in human nature, and how personal leadership can prevail, releasing the good over the bad in people.
