Do you agree or disagree with the prompt??

If you agree, talk about:
- Brendan Keilar and Paul De Ward who risked their lives to save a woman from being shot in Melbournes CBD (in 2007)'
- Reverend Hale in The Crucible, who doesn't just stand there and tries all he can (once he finds out the girls are behind the conflict) to prove Proctor's innocence to the Court to try to keep him from being hanged
- Quote: "The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who remain neutral in time of great moral crisis." — Dante

If you disagree, mention:
- How 38 people watched Kitty Genovese being stabbed but upon hearing her screams for help but not even one decided to go and help her
- In the Crucible, Abigail and all the girls do not find it difficult at all to remain bystanders as the conflict unravels...none of them actually decide to step up and confess what they've done, even if it is at the expense of taking peoples lives..
- In most instances, people value self preservation more than extinguishing or intervention in times of conflict
- The "bystander effect" in psychology

You can structure it any way you like :) But it really Depends on what form (expository, persuasive or imaginative) and type of piece (essay, speech, debate, feature article, story) you choose to write
