L'effet témoin, ou effet du spectateur, est un phénomène psychologique qui explique pourquoi les individus sont moins enclins à intervenir en situation d'urgence lorsqu'ils sont en présence d'autres témoins. Ce concept a été largement étudié en psychologie sociale et trouve son origine dans un fait divers tragique des années 1960.Origine et expérimentationL'effet témoin a été mis en évidence après l'assassinat de Kitty Genovese en 1964 à New York. La jeune femme a été attaquée en pleine rue, et malgré la présence de nombreux témoins, personne n'a réagi immédiatement. Cette affaire a suscité un vif intérêt dans la communauté scientifique, incitant les psychologues John Darley et Bibb Latané à mener des expériences pour comprendre ce phénomène.Ils ont découvert que plus le nombre de témoins est élevé, moins il y a de chances qu'une personne intervienne. Ce paradoxe repose sur plusieurs mécanismes psychologiques.Les mécanismes en jeu1. Dilution de la responsabilité : Lorsqu'une personne est seule face à une urgence, elle se sent directement responsable. Mais si plusieurs témoins sont présents, chacun a tendance à penser que quelqu'un d'autre va agir, ce qui réduit la probabilité d'intervention.2. Conformité sociale : Dans une situation d'incertitude, les individus observent les réactions des autres pour déterminer la conduite appropriée. Si personne ne bouge, on en conclut que l'intervention n'est pas nécessaire.3. Peur du jugement : L'anxiété sociale joue un rôle important. Les témoins peuvent craindre de mal interpréter la situation et d'être ridiculisés s'ils réagissent de manière inappropriée.4. Diffusion de la compétence : Une personne peut se sentir peu qualifiée pour agir, pensant que d'autres spectateurs, potentiellement plus compétents (médecins, policiers), sont mieux placés pour intervenir.Comment contrer cet effet ?Pour encourager l'intervention des témoins, il est conseillé de :- Désigner une personne précise plutôt que de lancer un appel général (« Vous, en veste rouge, appelez les secours ! »).- Briser l'inertie en étant le premier à réagir, incitant ainsi les autres à suivre.- Sensibiliser le public à l'effet témoin pour réduire sa force.L'effet témoin illustre ainsi comment notre comportement est influencé par la présence des autres et souligne l'importance d'une prise de conscience pour surmonter cette passivité collective.

Ep. 150: H1-B fuss: The unbearable heaviness of racism and religious bigotry

Shadow Warrior by Rajeev Srinivasan

A version of this essay has been published by Open Magazine at https://openthemagazine.com/columns/shadow-warrior/I have been thinking about the ongoing vilification of Hindus in the media/social media for some time, e.g. the Economist magazine's bizarre choice of Bangladesh as its country of the year while Bangladeshis are genociding Hindus. The simplest way I could account for it is as the very opposite of Milan Kundera's acclaimed novel The Unbearable Lightness of Being. There is some karma at play here, and it is very heavy.The nation of immigrants, or to be more precise, its Deep State, is apparently turning against some of its most successful immigrants: law-abiding, tax-paying, docile ones. Irony, while others go on murderous sprees. In an insightful article in Open magazine, Amit Majmudar explains Why They Hate Us.There has been an astonishing outpouring of pure hatred against Indians in general, and Hindus in particular, on the Internet in the wake of Sriram Krishnan's seemingly accurate statement that country caps on H1-B visas are counterproductive. But this was merely a spike: for at least a year, Hindus have been vilified and name-called as “pajeets” and “street-shi**ers” on the net.It is intriguing that in 2024, both Jews and Hindus have been targeted: Jews by the extreme left on Gaza, and Hindus by both the extreme left and the extreme right, on what is, basically, a non-issue. H1-B is a very minor issue compared to, say, the wars and the US national debt.In fact, the H1-B brouhaha may well turn out to be a medium-term plus for India if it compels young Indians to seek employment at home. It will of course be a minus for the million-plus Indian-origin individuals who are in line for Green Cards, given the per-country cap of 9800 per year: mathematically, it will take them over a century to gain permanent residence.From the host country's point of view too, it is necessary to distinguish between generally desirable immigrants who contribute to the national wealth, as opposed to others who are a net burden on the exchequer, as I wrote recently.On reflection I attribute the withering assault on Hindus to four things: racism, religious bigotry, economics and geo-economics, and narrative-building.Presumably, all this had something to do with British colonial propaganda, which painted India as an utterly horrifying and pestilential country. Motivated and prejudiced imperialists ranging from James Mill to Winston Churchill were considered truthful historians. And it continues. I mentioned above the Economist magazine's baffling decision to certify Bangladesh's Islamist reign of terror.In another instance, in the Financial Times, a British chess correspondent (a nonagenarian named Leonard Barden), was underwhelmed by D Gukesh's staggering feat of becoming world champion at a teenager, and seemed to suggest that a) Gukesh won because his opponent Ding Liren of China was ill, b) Gukesh would have lost to either of two Americans, Caruana and Nakamura (both immigrants to the US, incidentally) if they had been in the fray. Barden, who probably remembers imperial times, also seemed to think poorly of the emerging Indian challenge in chess. These Anglosphere prejudices affect Americans.I also have some personal experience of American racism, as someone who went to the US on a student visa, got his Green Card and stayed on for twenty years before returning to India. A factor in my return was alienation, and the feeling of being an unwanted outsider, engendered by casual racism, even though on the face of it, I had a great life: good job in Silicon Valley, nice house, dream car. Obama's and Biden's regimes did nothing to change that feeling. Trump's second coming may not either.RacismIn general, I find Americans to be very nice people, gregarious, friendly and thoughtful: I had a number of good friends when I lived there. But I also think that racism is inbuilt into the culture (after all, it has not been that long since Brown v. Board of Education, Bull Connor, Jim Crow, George Wallace; and earlier the Asian Exclusion Act).There have been many acts of discrimination and racism against Hindus (although the term “Hindoo” [sic] included Sikhs and Muslims as well). See, e.g., the serious anti-Indian riots in Bellingham, WA in 1907 when “500 working class white men violently expelled Hindoo migrants from the city”. (both images courtesy @Hindoohistory on Twitter).Another remarkable story was the saga of Bhagat Singh Dhind, a Sikh, who was granted US citizenship three times, only to have it be taken away twice. The first time, in 1913, it was because, although ‘Hindoos' are Caucasians, they are not white. The second time, because the Supreme Court ruled in 1923 (US v Bhagat Singh Thind) that it would retrospectively cancel the citizenship of some 77 naturalized ‘Hindoos' based on the 1917 Immigration Act.The “Barred Zone” provision in that 1917 Act denied citizenship to Indians and Southeast Asians by making a large swathe of territory in Asia verboten. Curiously, Japanese, Koreans and some Chinese were exempt. Iranians, some Afghans (and some Baloch, if you look at the map closely) were deemed white. So far as I know, that is still the working definition of “white” in the US. (source: qz.com)There were real human costs: there is the sad story of Vaishno Das Bagai, a San Francisco businessman, who was rendered stateless after denaturalization, and seeing no way out (he was a Ghadar Party activist against British rule in India) committed suicide.Anyway, Dhind, evidently a persistent fellow, got his citizenship a third time because he had served in the US Army in World War I. Third time lucky: his citizenship was not revoked again.After the Luce-Celler Act of 1946, 100 Indians and 100 Filipinos a year were allowed to immigrate to the US, with the prospect of future naturalization as US citizens. Race based limitations were replaced with a quota system by the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act (aka McCarran-Walter Act), but it still retained significant caps based on national origin; that Act also introduced the H-1 category for skilled immigrants.As a result of all this, the number of Indian immigrants to the US (e.g. nurses) started going up. The general euphoria surrounding the Civil Rights Movement also conferred a certain respect upon Gandhi, because Martin Luther King reportedly was inspired by his non-violent techniques of protest.But that did not mean US blacks made common cause with Indians, because often unofficial ‘minority quotas' were achieved by bringing in Indians and Chinese, which in effect meant blacks did not get the jobs they legitimately spilled their blood for.I was one of those who went through the ‘labor certification' process in the 1980s, when it was relatively easy to get a Green Card because there were very few Indians applying. The trickle became a flood after the Y2K issue when a lot of Indians arrived on H1-Bs.I personally experienced mild forms of public racism, for instance from Latinos in New Jersey calling me a ‘dot-head', to an unseen voice shouting “No Indians wanted here” when I was being shown apartments in NJ. This was around the time Navroze Mody was beaten to death in Hoboken, NJ by ‘Dotbusters'.Later, there were whites asking if I were leaving the country when I walked out of a mall with a suitcase in Fremont, California. When I said yes, they expressed their approval.Religious bigotryThe death of former US President Jimmy Carter at the age of 100 is a reminder of the power of fundamentalist Christians in the US. He was a faithful member of the Baptist Church, and in his eulogies, he was praised as a simple and decent man who upheld his Christian beliefs.But the impression of Baptists, and American evangelists in general, in India is vastly different. They were implicated in the story of the fervid young American man who attempted to evangelize the famously hostile tribals of North Sentinel Island. They promptly shot him dead with arrows for his pains.The result of Christian conversion in India has often been negative, contrary to pious platitudes. It has created severe fissures in society, turning family members against each other. The net result of conversion has been to create separatism.Verrier Elwin, a missionary, converted large numbers of people in the Northeast of India, and the result has been calls for a separate Christian nation in that area. Sheikh Hasina, before being deposed, claimed that there were plans afoot for a Christian “Zo” nation, for Zo/Kuki/Mizo/Naga converted tribals, to be carved out of India and Bangladesh.There are precedents, of course: the Christian nations of South Sudan (from Sudan) and East Timor (from Indonesia).The Indian state of Manipur which has seen a lot of conversion recently, is also troubled, with armed Kuki Christian terrorists killing Hindu Meiteis. .The bottom line is that the very precepts of Abrahamisms, of an exclusive god (or god-equivalent), an in-group out-group dichotomy, and the demonization of non-believers as the Other, are antithetical to the Hindu spirit of inclusivity and tolerance.Hindumisia or Hindu hatred is rampant in the West, and increasingly on the Internet. The evolution of this hostility can be seen in a taxonomy of monotheistic religions:* paleo-Abrahamisms: Zoroastrianism, Judaism* meso-Abrahamisms: Christian, Islamic religions* neo-Abrahamisms: Communism, Fascism, Nazism, DMK-ism, Ambedkarism, and so onThe arrival of Christians in India was far from peaceful; the historical record shows that the Jesuit Francis Xavier was proud of his idol-breaking. Claude Buchanan made up lurid tales about his alleged encounters with Hindu practices; William Bentinck and his alleged abolition of sati were lionized far beyond reason, because sati was a very isolated practice.The continued deprecation of Hindus by Christians can be seen vividly in Kerala, where Christians are considerably more prosperous than Hindus (data from C I Issac, himself a Christian and a historian). Here's an American of Kerala Christian descent hating on Hindus, perhaps unaware that “Thomas in India” is pure fiction, and that Francis Xavier, the patron saint of Christians in India, was a fanatic and a bigot. ‘Syrian' Christians of Kerala who claim (without proof) to be ‘upper caste' converts discriminate harshly against ‘lower-caste' converts to this day. Hardly all ‘children of god'.Incidentally, there may be other, political, considerations here. This woman is apparently married into the family of Sydney Blumenthal, which is part of the Clinton entourage, i.e. Democrat royalty. Tablet magazine discussed the ‘permission structure' used by Democrats, especially Obama, to manufacture consent. Hindus may be getting ‘punished' for supporting Trump.I personally experienced Christian bigotry against Hindus at age 10 in Kerala. My classmate Philip (a local Malayali) told me casually: “All your gods are our devils”. Reflexively, I told him, “Your gods are our devils, too”, although no Hindu had ever told me Christian gods were devils.Others have told me identical stories from places like Hyderabad. This meme likely came from Francis Xavier himself. It may well be taught to impressionable children as an article of faith in church catechism.Francis Xavier invited the Inquisition to Goa, and many, if not most, of the victims were Hindus. Here's an account from Empire of the Soul by Paul William Roberts:“The palace in which these holy terrorists ensconced themselves was known locally as Vadlem Gor – the Big House. It became a symbol of fear… People in the street often heard screams of agony piercing the night… Children were flogged and slowly dismembered in front of their parents, whose eyelids had been sliced off to make sure they missed nothing. Extremities were amputated carefully, so that a person would remain conscious even when all that remained was a torso and head. Male genitalia were removed and burned in front of wives, breasts hacked off and vaginas penetrated by swords while husbands were forced to watch”.Below is a tweet by another American presumably suffused with Christian compassion. I am reminded of a Kerala Christian woman repeatedly trying to convert a Scheduled Caste friend, using similar memes denigrating Kali. Finally, my friend got fed up and asked her: “You worship the mutilated corpse of a dead Arab stuck on a stick. And that's better?”. Her jaw dropped, and she blubbered: “But… but, that's a metaphor”. My friend retorted: “Then realize that Kali is a metaphor too”. Not much self-awareness on the part of the would-be converter.Therefore, the religion factor, of Hindus being the ultimate Other, cannot be overstated. There is basically no way to reconcile the Hindu world view with the Christian. Dharma is incompatible with Abrahamisms/Semitisms. And no, it's not Jimmy Carter who's relevant, it's Francis Xavier.Economics and Geo-economicsThere is a serious issue with the engineering community in the US, which has nothing to do with the H1-B program. Engineers have been unable to unite, create a cartel, keep their numbers low and value to the consumer high, and bargain to keep salaries high. This is a signal failure on the part of the US engineers, and blaming others isn't going to solve the problem.Consider, in contrast, doctors (and to a lesser extent, nurses). They keep their numbers very low, successfully portray their contribution to society as very high, and keep out foreign doctors as much as possible: the result is that their salaries are astronomical (a recent Medscape survey suggests that the top-earning specialty, Orthopedics, earns an average of $568,000 a year. And that's the average).In contrast, according to Forbes in 2023 the highest-paid engineering specialty, Petroleum Engineering, earned only $145,000, and in fact wages had actually declined. Even much-ballyhooed software engineers ($103,000 ) and AI engineers ($128,000) make very little. And lest you think H1-B depresses wages, there are almost no H1-B petroleum engineers. The bottom line is that engineering is not a high-income occupation in the US. Why? No syndicate.How about nurses? According to a report, Nurse Anesthetists make an average of $214,000.And there are plenty of Indian-origin doctors and nurses in the US. Why does this not create a hue-and-cry? The answer is two-fold: one, the scarcity value, and two, those in medicine have created a narrative, and the public has bought it, that their services are so valuable that the nation must spend 20% of its GDP on what is, by objective measures, pretty poor outcomes in health: ranking tenth out of 10 in high-income countries, at very high cost.There have been grumbles about the helplessness of American engineers for years: I remember forty years ago some guy whose name I forget constantly complaining in the IEEE's email groups about immigrant engineers enabling employers to lower the salaries they pay.In addition, engineers regularly go through boom-and-bust cycles. They have no leverage. I remember after a boom period in the 1970s, unemployed aerospace engineers were driving taxis. If there is another ‘AI winter', then we'll find unemployed AI engineers on the street as well, despite massive demand right now.It is true that there may be subtle intricacies, too. The US companies that contract out their positions to H1-B engineers may well be paying prevailing wages, say $60 an hour. But there are middlemen: big IT services companies who take on the contracts, and provide ‘body-shopping' services. They may well be severely underpaying the actual engineers at only, say, $35 an hour, in a bizarre revivification of ‘indentured labor', i.e. wage slavery. It is difficult for those on H1–Bs to change employers, so they are stuck.There is a larger geo-economic angle as well. The US likes being the top dog in GDP, as it has been since 1945. Unfortunately, through the fecklessness of all Presidents from Nixon onwards, they have somehow allowed China to ascend to a strong #2 position. At this point, I suspect the Deep State has concluded that it would be impossible to dislodge China, given its manufacturing clout.I wrote a year ago that a condominium with China may well be the best Plan B for the US. Let us consider what has happened to the other countries that were at the top of the economic pyramid: Germany and Japan.The 1985 Plaza Accord whereby the US dollar was depreciated led to a Lost Decade for Japan, which has turned into a Lost Four Decades; that country which was booming in the 1980s lost, and never regained its momentum.Germany was doing pretty well until the Ukraine War and the arrival of the Electric Vehicle boom. But at this point, it has more or less lost its machine tools business, its automobile business; add its social and political views, and its future looks grim.If this is what has happened to #3 and #4, we can expect that an aspiring #3, namely India, will face a concerted effort to ruin it. It is in the interests of both the US and China to suppress a potential competitor, especially when there is the tiresome mantra of “India is the fastest growing large economy in the world”.The Bangladesh coup, which benefits both the US and China by creating a massive new war front on India's East, is therefore possibly the result of a tacit collusion between the Deep State and the CCP. Similarly, the sudden spike in anti-Hindu rhetoric and this H1-B hoo-haa may well be financed by Xinhua, and it clearly benefits the Democrats, as it has driven a wedge between Christian fundamentalist MAGA types and other Trump supporters. It also puts the Indian-origin and/or Hindu members of Trump's team on notice: they better self-censor.Even immigrant Elon Musk, not to mention Vivek Ramaswamy, Kash Patel, Jay Bhattacharyya, and the non-Indian Hindu Tulsi Gabbard, are all in the firing line of the Deep State. Even though the IEEE has been moaning about depressed engineering salaries for half a century, it is curious that this became a cause celebre just days before Trump's accession to the Presidency.Narrative-buildingThere was a sobering incident in New York's subways on December 22nd, when a woman, now identified as 61 year old Debrina Kawam, was set on fire by an illegal immigrant, Sebastian Zapeta, from Guatemala, who had been deported earlier but came back to the US. I saw a video purportedly of her burning to death, shockingly without screaming, rolling on the ground to douse the flames, or anything else. She just stood and burned, as Zapeta fanned the flames.A New York City subway policeman walked by. The people who were busy capturing the footage on their smartphones did not intervene or help. It reminded me of Kitty Genovese, a 28 year old woman who was raped and stabbed to death on March 13, 1964, in full view of onlookers in the apartment block where she lived in Queens, New York. Nobody bothered to intervene as she died, screaming.It is really odd when people refuse to get involved in helping a dying person. There's something morally wrong here, and it should have been worth exploring in the very articulate media.Yes, Debrina Kawam's baffling story got widespread airplay immediately after it happened, but it died surprisingly quickly. Here's the Google Trends index of interest in that story.The big new story was H1-B, which shot up and displaced the subway murder story. Note the respective timelines: the Google Trends below is about H1-B. It is hard to believe this was an organic shift. It was “manufacturing consent” with placement aforethought.I wrote recently about how narratives are created out of thin air with the intent of manufacturing consent. The abrupt U-turn on Sheikh Hasina was one of the examples. Now the neat and abrupt switch from the NYC subway burning-alive also points to something that is deliberately planted to divert attention away from inconvenient questions.Let us now see how the H1-B narrative survives the New Orleans story of the son of immigrants, ex-soldier, and ISIS member driving a truck and ploughing into a New Year crowd, killing many. Of course, the narrative will carefully not say anything rude about the religion of the alleged perpetrator, because there will be… consequences.ConclusionThe furious drama and narrative about H1-B will subside soon; ironically, it may well be to the benefit of the Indian nation if this kind of propaganda reduces the attractiveness of the US for talented would-be Indian immigrants, who might stay on at home and build innovative companies. Canada and Britain have already ceased to be desired destinations.However, the underlying issues of racism, religious bigotry, economic warfare and astroturfed narrative are real and will not go away. These are danger signals about “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” for Indian migrants to the US, and that's a sad start to 2025.3450 words, Jan 2, 2025Here's the AI-generated podcast from NotebookLM by Google: This is a public episode.

THE TRUE CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: In the early morning hours of March 13, 1964, 28-year-old Kitty Genovese was murdered in New York City, a crime that would become infamous due to the claim that 38 witnesses did nothing to help her. This event sparked the development of the "bystander effect" theory, which suggests that individuals in a crowd are less likely to assist in an emergency due to a diffusion of responsibility. However, the narrative of Genovese's death is far more complex than initially reported. Kitty, a bar manager and bookie, was attacked by Winston Moseley near her home. Although some neighbors did call for help, and one, Sophia Farrar, even rushed to her aid, the story was sensationalized by the media. The New York Times, in particular, exaggerated the number of witnesses, leading to widespread misconceptions about the event. Despite the inaccuracies, Genovese's tragic death led to significant societal changes, including the establishment of the 911 emergency call system and deeper exploration into human psychology regarding emergency intervention.

Under the weight of a silent crisis, an unsung hero emerges: the 911 dispatcher. In this episode we bring to light the heroic efforts of these individuals with subject matter expert April Hines from NENA, in a discussion that promises to deepen your understanding of the critical role these professionals play in responding to crimes against women. The alarming frequency of gender-based violence calls for a swift and knowledgeable response, and we reveal the layers of training and decision-making that equip dispatchers to handle each call with the precision and empathy it demands.April Hines adds depth to our conversation, sharing her expertise on the protocols that guide dispatchers in crisis situations. Together we uncover how emergency response systems have evolved, from the legacy of Kitty Genovese to today's advanced 911 operations. Our discourse spans the development of policies, the execution of best practices in dire situations, and the essential contribution of bystanders—all pivotal in the orchestration of a prompt, life-saving response. The intricacies of managing calls for domestic and sexual violence are dissected, painting a picture of a network of dispatchers who serve as the first glimmer of hope for many.Our episode concludes on a note of compassion for the dispatchers themselves, who are often unsung heroes bearing the emotional toll of emergency response. We explore the industry's transformation in acknowledging and supporting the mental health of these vital workers. From wellness programs to the integration of specialist support systems, we offer insight into how 911 centers nurture the well-being of their staff. As we wrap up, you'll leave with a profound appreciation for the complex tapestry of emergency response and the unwavering dedication of the voices on the other end of the line.

In this poignant and introspective episode of The Passage, the Ferryman, voiced with the profound depth and empathy of Dan Fogler (Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, The Walking Dead), encounters a soul whose name became a symbol, a headline that seemed to speak volumes about the state of society. Kitty Genovese, voiced by Allie MacDonald, a young woman whose tragic fate sparked outrage and introspection, takes a cab ride across the void, her story a mosaic of unfulfilled dreams and a narrative hijacked by sensationalism. As the taxi glides through the misty realms of memory and myth, Kitty reflects on her life beyond the infamous headlines. She shares her hopes, her aspirations, and the vibrant life she led—a life rich with potential and promise, yet brutally cut short on the streets of New York. Her story, for too long, was not her own, morphed by the media into a stark emblem of societal apathy and the supposed decay of communal compassion. In this episode, the Ferryman listens intently as Kitty reclaims her narrative, her voice a gentle yet powerful rebuke to the decades of misrepresentation. She speaks of the people she loved, the dreams she nurtured, and the life she lived, not just the final moments that came to define her in the public eye. Kitty's story challenges the listeners to reflect on the narratives we construct and the truths we choose to see or ignore. Her presence in the Ferryman's cab is a reminder that behind every headline, every statistic, is a human story, rich and complex, deserving of understanding and dignity.

Kitty Genovese était une femme américaine dont le meurtre brutal en 1964 à New York a suscité une attention considérable en raison des circonstances entourant sa mort. Elle a été attaquée et poignardée à mort par un homme nommé Winston Moseley dans le quartier de Queens à New York. Ce qui a rendu cette affaire particulièrement choquante, c'est que selon les premiers rapports, il y avait des dizaines de témoins présents ou à proximité au moment de l'attaque, mais aucun d'entre eux n'a appelé à l'aide ou à la police pendant l'attaque elle-même. Cette histoire a donné naissance au concept de "l'effet spectateur" ou "l'effet Genovese", qui décrit le phénomène où les individus sont moins susceptibles d'intervenir en cas d'urgence lorsqu'ils sont entourés par d'autres personnes, supposant à tort que quelqu'un d'autre prendra les mesures nécessaires. Cet incident a suscité un débat national sur l'apathie de la société et a eu un impact important sur la psychologie sociale et la criminologie.Nous explorons cette histoire dans ce nouvel épisode de RMNY ! ------Si vous aimez le podcast, n'hésitez pas à le partager, le noter et à le commenter via Apple Podcasts ou encore Spotify. Tous les liens du podcast sont ici : ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/racontemoinewyork  ⁠⁠⁠⁠

A l'occasion des 60 ans de l'affaire Kitty Genovese, Peggy Chekroun professeure de psychologie sociale à l'Université de Paris Nanterre, nous éclaire sur "le syndrome du spectateur" ou "l'effet du témoin", qui a été mis au jour avec cette affaire criminelle. Qui était le plus coupable : le meurtrier ou les 38 témoins qui n'ont rien fait pour porter secours à la victime? Et nous, qu'aurions-nous fait à leur place ?

Car cette employée de restaurant de 28 ans, n'a pas connu une mort ordinaire.

The True Story of Kitty Genovese | The Witness | FULL MOVIE | True Crime Documentary On March 13, 1964, Kitty Genovese died after being attacked on a street in Kew Gardens, Queens. Soon after, ""The New York Times"" published a front-page story asserting that 38 witnesses watched her being murdered from their apartment windows for over half an hour — and did nothing to help. The death of Kitty Genovese, 28, quickly became a symbol of urban apathy. THE WITNESS follows the efforts of her brother, Bill Genovese, as he attempts to uncover the truth buried beneath the story. In the process, he makes startling discoveries about the crime that transformed his life, condemned a city and defined an era.

Kitty Genovese has become infamous as the woman who was ignored by her neighbors as she was being murdered. Much of her story has been embellished or misreported, though that's not to say the truth isn't horrific and her legacy lasting. Kitty's case set the precedent for the 911 system we have in place and rely on to this day.If you have enjoyed these bonus episodes and want to see more in the future, please let us know via email at CrimeJunkie@audiuochuck.com  or instagram @crimejunkiepodcast!Did you know you can listen to this episode ad-free?

Listen in as we unpack the important responsibility believers hold in supporting each other in our journey of faith. Reflecting on the disturbing story of Kitty Genovese and the bystander effect, we highlight how crucial it is to actively intervene, support, and encourage one another, rejecting the apathy often seen in society. Drawing on themes from the book of James, we emphasize the importance of showing the authenticity of our faith through actions and mastering the art of controlling our tongues. This episode calls for believers to step up and lean on each other in the pursuit of godly wisdom.In the second part of this discussion, we explore the obligation Christians have in restoring those who have deviated from God's intended path. We delve into the meaning of wandering and its implications in faith, and stress on the significance of addressing these individuals with gentleness and humility. Reflecting on James' words of caution, we remind ourselves to remain vigilant lest we too fall into temptation. This episode serves as a powerful reminder of our duty to guide each other back on track with love and concern. This episode aims to strengthen our sense of responsibility towards our fellow believers, encouraging us to step up and act when others are in need.

Strange and thought provoking episode today! In the 1940s, 50s, and early 60s, animal behavior researcher John B Calhoun ran a number of experiments on rodents regarding how their behavior would be affected by increased urbanization if all their basic needs were made. The results were terrifying. Crowded rats and mice became increasingly violent and lost their reproductive instincts to the point that eventually, the utopia went extinct after enduring a final phase full of random violent attacks, apathy, cannibalism and more. Could the increased urbanization of humanity also lead to our species' extinction as Calhoun warned?  Or are we humans too different from rodents to presume that what happens to mice and rat would also happen to humans? I found today's episode one of the most thought provoking we've done in quite  some time.
