What would I Do?

When examining the cases of the "What would you do?" show- I was amazed and alarmed at the true feelings, and reactions to every extreme situation. The fact that we could personally view what real life, ordinary people would do was surprising.Take for example, that of the truck driver- offering the pretty 16 year old girl a lift in his truck when she ran away from home. Typical, ordinary people would obviously see the 'red flags' right away. But the majority of actions expected were highly dissapointing. The majority of people just took pictures on their camera phone- not wanting to get involved- even though they still let the girl walk out of the restaurant with the strange man. Personally, if I was put in that situation where I over-heard the conversation- I would react right away, and when the man left would have a serious talk with the girl, warning her of all the missing cases and extreme dangers she put herself in. If she did not listen to me, I would call the police right away.I personally know that if I didnt perform any actions I would regret it for the rest of my life. I was astonished at the final prospect, when the woman took the girl in her arms and would not let the truck driver take her- That should have been the senerio in every case. One thing I've learned from watching this, is that you can almost never rely on people to help you out of an extreme situaton if you don't ask for thier help. Another case that really disturbed me was when the show compared woman, to homeless men fainting on the street. I almost knew automatically what the outcome would be, for people rely too much on sterotypes. When the respectably dressed woman fainted - people helped her automatically. Why? Because she needed help. When the homeless 'drunk' man fainted - hardly anyone looked twice. Why? Did he not also need help? What distigushes him so dramatically that poeple would not take precious time out of their lives to just call 911? It is because the majority of people are too proud. If I was put into that situation, where a drunk-homeless looking man fell on the side walk, I would call 911 automatically, and try to aid the best I could... Part of myself would not want to get involved, but I think that I would get over my devil on my shoulder and help.
