4. What
happens if we are silent when we witness an act of prejudice, injustice or violence against another person?
What
happens when we do nothing in the
face of
such things?
5. Was there a time when you were a bystander to violence, whether physical or verbal, such as a classmate being bullied. What did – or didn’t – you do? What would you do differently?
6. What forces, internal and external, keep us from taking actions in such moments? Are some more excusable than others? What can be done to diminish the forces that keep us from taking action?Slide5
