Altruism-John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy once said conformity is the screwing of freedom and the enemy of growth. Which is true the act of matching attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors to what individuals perceive is familiar to their society or social group makes them apart of the masses. Which makes me think of the many a(prenominal) different ways people submit there self into that category. For poser watching someone be sexually assaulted and stabbed to death out side of an flatbed building only never calling the police to help or even attempting to help yourself. Thats what happen to Kitty Genovese and she had 38 witnesses.Why was it that thirty-eight people stood there and watch her murder? Because they were too busy diffusing the responsibility for the simple fact that all these people argon around someone must have called. As humans we do that a lot not help someone on the side of the road because they must have someone coming to help, never liveliness at the screaming nose outside you dont de privation to cling involve, dont help that person whos cosmos attack diffusion of responsibility Diffusing the responsibility of yourself being bear on into a situation that might put you in danger.That seem fair but how about when you do some involvement that doesnt benefit you in anyways but you do it because it makes everyone else happy this is altruism. Let say someone did go and help Kitty Genovese they could have been seriously injured but Kitty Genovese would have had her life. Altruism is any nice apparent movement you do for someone else at the expense of yourself it doesnt mean you cant comfort from your acts. In most cases of altruism you would enjoy it but the con of it is sometimes you cant say No when you should be saying no.Youre doing what others want you to do when thats not whats in your titty to do. All I know is that more people should stand up for others because in any case you would want people to ignore you in your time of need. I cant really say how t o get help but if youre in danger caught peoples attention, say something important, but most of all caught someone attention. One thing I must say be safe in this untamed world we call earth .
