  • Someone acting suspiciously or carrying a weapon

 

不要做旁观者!  Students are often the first to become aware of problems on 校园. However, due to a social phenomenon called the “bystander effect”, sometimes problems are not addressed.  The bystander effect happens when the presence of others (being in a group) discourages an individual from intervening in a situation in which 有紧急情况. Researchers Bibb Latane and John Darley argued that it is the result of the belief that someone else will act so I don’t need to, that is compounded by social influence (the fact that our behaviors are influenced by those around us).

  • Don’t let strangers into housing facilities and do not prop doors.
