An example of the bystander effect

The bystander effect is when people who are aware of something taking place, but dont do anything because they are either affraid, think someone else will deal with it, or just are ashamed to help in front of so many people. It is proven that if you are wioth someone who you trust, then you are more likely to do something about the situation., but if you are with just an aquaintance you are more likely not to do anything because you are ashamed and dont want to get involved. The more people there are around, the less of a chance you will do something.
