 What happens when ordinary people become witnesses to upsetting events—such as a theft in progress, the possibility of domestic violence, or the abuse of another citizen’s civil rights? Do most people follow the same emotional and psychological patterns when reacting? Is there such a thing as a “normal” reaction? This three-part ABC News series captures raw responses to staged situations with the help of actors and hidden cameras. Whether compelled to take action or to mind his or her own business, each unknowing participant makes a split-second—and often surprising—decision that will interest students of psychology, sociology, and ethics. Original ABC News broadcast title: What Would You Do? 3-part series, 33-38 minutes each.
