When have you experienced an opportunity to act, but not done it (or maybe you did act)? If you have never experienced this sort of opportunity, try to envision a hypothetical situation where it might happen. In this situation why did you fail to act? Or, if it was a hypothetical situation, what might prevent you from acting?
Personally I have not experienced a situation like this, but I will try to make up a situation and describe what i would do. So lets say that someone I know is being bullied. They are constantly being told they arent good enough or that they aren't the same as everyone else. If i saw the bullying going on I would try to intervine by telling the person doing the bullying that what they are doing is wrong and i would ask them how they would feel if someone bullied them. I would also infor, a teacher or an adult about the situation and what has been going on. Something that might prevent me from acting would be if there are alot of people around cheering on the bully. In this situation it wouldn be hard to stand up infront of a group of people, but i would still do it becasue it's the right thing to do.
Interesting way to approach this, but would you stand up to a stranger who could be dangerous?
ReplyDeleteGlad you'd do something to help this guy though!
I admire your confidence in yourself to stand up for what's right! Standing up, particularly to bullies, takes a lot of courage. It's good to know that there are people like you out there who will always strive to protect the goodness in the world.
