Altruism-John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy once said conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth. Which is true the act of matching attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors to what individuals perceive is normal to their nightclub or social group makes them apart of the masses. Which makes me think of the many different ways pack submit there self into that category. For example watching person be sexually assaulted and stabbed to death outside of an apartment building barely never calling the police to help or even attempting to help yourself. Thats what happen to Kitty Genoese and she had thirty-eight witnesses.Why was it that thirty-eight mickle stood there and watch her murder? Because they were too busy diffusing the responsibility for the simple concomitant that all these people are around somebody must have called. As humans we do that a lot non help someone on the side of the road because they must have someone coming to help, never look at the screaming nose outside you dont want to ge t involve, dont help that person whos being attack diffusion of responsibility Diffusing the responsibility of yourself being composite into a situation that might put you in danger.That seem reasonably but how about when you do something that doesnt benefit you in anyway 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 gesture you do for someone else at the expense of yourself it doesnt mean you cant satisfaction 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 heart 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 to get help but if youre in dan ger caught peoples attention, say something important, but most of all caught someone attention. One thing I must say be safe in this fruity world we call earth .
