  By stander effect happen in our life everyday. The more witness see the bad thing happen, the less

 possible they may help, there are have three reason why they do not help victim.

  

   First, they may thing other witness will help the victim. For example, a woman was murdered in front 

of her apartment in 1964 in New York city. There are have 38 witness, but no one call the police 

office or help this woman. This thing was reported in newspaper. The writer of newspaper thing these 

people are selfish and cold, but the writer in " A Question of Number" thing it is not their fault. The 

writer thing every one may do the some thing because the more people see the bad thing, and the less 

possible they will help. 

  

  Second, sometime the witness do not know if the person really need help. If we see some one in the 

river, and look like she or he need help. If the people who see this thing are laugh and do nothing, you 

might thing they are just playing a game, if you go to help this people, they may think you are stupid. 

If you see the people who see this thing are yelling and calling the police, you might thing the person 

who in the river need help.

  

   Finally, the witness are afraid to hurt, if they help the victim. If we see two people are fighting on the 

street, we might not give them help because we are afraid to get hurt by there two people, and we 

hope other witness could help these people.
