Bystander effect and cell phones

Our phone make us feel like social-media activities, but they are actually turning us into bystanders. Our camera phones also make us feel like social-media activists, but when we’re recording an event instead of intervening, we’re actually just real-world bystanders. There is a gulf of dissonance between what we publicly declare as our values online or otherwise and how we act. In the past few years, there have been scores of videos depicting abuse that have been recorded and then disseminated online. The act of recording a violent event but staying silent is a modern manifestation of the bystander effect.

very few years ago Bangladesh have incident the victim was Biswajit Das. Biswajit Das, was a descendant of lower middle class family of Mashra village in Naria, Shariatpur. Coming to change the fortune came to the capital to work in the tailor’s shop. Although he was not involved in any political party, he had to return to the coronation of cruel politics and return to the body.  He was a 24-year-old tailor in Dhaka, Bangladesh. He was murdered on 9 December 2012 by members of the Bangladesh Chhatra League, the student wing of the governing Awami League party. On that day there was a nationwide road blockade, called by the opposition 18 Party Alliance.

 

This video says that and shows us how much we are unkind and what is our thinking mind, that goes to shame on us. And its also a Bystander effect that impact in our social media with our cell phones.
