imagine this hypothetical scenario: you are leisurely strolling down the street when you observe a professionally clad young woman faint on the sidewalk. do you stop and assist? i would presume most would answer yes. but would you have the same reaction if it were a grungy, older looking man? taking a rest from the mindless entertainment that is on TV lately, i came across an extremely insightful and eye-opening show on ABC called What Would You Do? this ethical dilemma series puts the general public on the spot in several hidden camera social experiments to test their reactions. from a group of college students partaking in humiliating act of hazing in a busy intersection, a loud obnoxious person on their cell phone in a restaurant, out of control toddlers at a (non-children) movie, to sexual harassment, racism, and other everyday occurrences, the results are simply mind-blowing and puts real life scenarios in perspective and really makes you take an inner look and wonder...what would you do?
