Answer:
Diffusion of responsibility
Explanation:
Diffusion of responsibility is a phenomenon where a person is less likely to take responsibility for action when they are in the presence of a large group of people. This happens because the individual assumes that others are either responsible for taking action or have already done so.
Since they are part of a big group of people, people will tend to assume that someone else will probably help or, if nobody is helping, that the situation is not that serious. Thus, they don't feel pressured to respond.
In this example, Roger was screaming for help as he was being beaten up. There were about 15 people standing nearby but none of them came forward to help. We can assume that, <u>since they were part of a large group, each one of them assumed that the others were going to help Roger or maybe that the situation wasn't that serious</u>. Thus, this lack of help illustrates diffusion of responsibility.
In propositional logic, this sentence can be symbolized as pVq.
Propositional logic deals with propositions being true or false. Basic logical connectives are AND, OR, NOT. "OR" is a disjunction connective, symbolized by "V"
The symbols p and q refer to propositions or statements that are connected together to make a compound statement. Connecting two statements with or is a disjunction. In a disjunction, the compound statement is true if and only if statement p OR statement q OR both statements are true. The compound statement is false if and only if statement p AND statement q are both false.
In the example above, the statement "disembodied spirits exist" is statement p, while the statement "psychic hoaxes are rampant" is statement q.
A sociologist would likely call this phenomenon as
environmental racism. The environmental racism involves of having to point out
injustice with mixed racial context in the environment. It could be seen from
Josh’s actions and behavior as he views the environment differently and that he
wants to move but he couldn't and he probably thinks that he is living in a
place like that solely because he is from a poor part of the town.
