I have been watching ABC's Primetime: What Would YOU do? and I have to say that I can't believe how much it has effected me. I have been everything from outraged to saddened to extremely touched by people's compassion. If you haven't seen it, I think it is well worth your time to look into it. I truly think it will change you and how you would react to situations in life.
This show is a hidden camera show of a different kind...it shows people being picked on or mistreated (there are other scenarios as well) all for the purpose of finding out how strangers will react. I like to think that I am a person who stands up for what I believe in, and I hope that I would do the right thing if I ever witnessed any of the things that happen on the show....I think I would have done the right thing in most cases before watching the show, but I know I would now.
So many people look the other way, but it gives me great hope when you see the extraordinary people stop and take action for the good.
Here is a link to a small clip of one of the shows: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dvzj8wyZ9PI

I was sitting here watching that and thinking Heck yes i would go help a person getting beat up like that. I was thinking of all of the things that i would say. But now that i really actually think about my reaction i would probably be to scared to do anything and just walk away. Haha. I am a wimp.

Could not agree more....love that show!! You are a good person and always have stood up for what you believe in!
Thanks for posting this video! It was so cool to see all those people stand up when they saw something wrong going on. I loved the first woman that stepped in and told them to knock it off. You could hear the 'mom' in her tone! Thanks! I wish I had cable so I could watch this show!
