In Martin Gansberg's story of the tragic murder of Ms. Genovese, he is explaining how society has evolved. The citzens of the neighborhood just watched as the helpless woman was repeatedly stabbed out in public over a 30 min time period. Genovese screamed "[...] help me!" (p12) as people just watched her die. Witnesses claimed they didnt know why they didn't call the police. I think its wrong to ignore such a violent act. It reminds me of the show "what would you do?" and it sort of makes us see what people would do in certain situations. Society is full of violence and people may not want to get involved but I think its kind of ignorant to bypass such things going on. It still needs more appeal for courage to stand up for your believes in right and wrong.
