After reading the article on the bystander intervention in emergencies, answer the following question: What are the main forces that lead a person not to respond (or to respond) in an emergency situation?

Describe a situation you have been in (or are familiar with) where you believe this phenomenon occurred. How did you feel, and how did you respond or not respond? Based on the readings, what main forces guided your response of lack thereof?
