    In different scenarios people tend to act different when they are by themselves or in a group. In this passage “Individualism in Groups” by Carol Tavris there are several behaviors someone would act in a group or by themselves in a situation. Someone alone in a dangerous situation would think differently from someone in a group. For example, one individual is their to witness someone life in danger they most likely they will help the person. However, in a group they would heisted to report it because the person would assumed someone already helped, that is called “Diffusion of Responsibility.” 
   
    I don't agreed with this idea because it depends on the situation a group or an individual is in. For example, late at night  out side of a bar theirs a homeless man lying on the floor. Someone by themselves walking would witness it and most likely do nothing. The person would assumed it is just a drunken poor homeless man in the street and would walk by. Also if a a group of friends walking by the bar witness the homeless men. They would most likely ignore the homeless man or expect to see a homeless person in the street thinking that is normal to see late at night.
    In my personal experience I have been in a car accident with my sister, cousin, and my mother who was driving. Soon as the car crash into a parked car people who witness it offer to help us. No one heisted to call the ambulance and some even offer for their help. Also, another experience was when I was by my self walking up the stairs to my apartment. I witness someone laying down on the floor unconscious, soon as I saw the person I called for help. In conclusion this analogy I do not agreed with it because, again it depend on the situation people are in. In conclusion people just have different mind frame than others.
