The power of context in social responsability

I just read a few things I would like to share with you followers of the blog comunity:

The power of context teach us that we are more than just sensitive to changes in contex, we're really sensitive.

People can be prompted to commit crime influenced by his envioment.

behaviour is a function of social context, an inner state can be the result of outer circunstances in ways we dont understand.

Major external influences in our lives, certain times, places, conditions changing people's behaviour.
A social epidemic can be reversed by touching the smallest details of the immediate envioment.



The Burny gunn incident in the N.y SUBWAY where he killed 4 black subjects that were giving him a hard time, making him a national hero at the time because of the high rate of crime was a result, a sintom of the desease of the grafity in the subway in the 80's that influenced the collapse of the system.

Solution? to clean all the trains (graffity)
took from 1984 - 1990

Very Important:
never let the car be vandalized again.never mix clean and dirty cars.
never let anyone cheat the system, make them pay the tickets.

idea:

put police and arrest people and do it in a very visible way, convince the police that it was worth it.

For example: experiment in the uni were the guards became more and more cruel, the experiment lasted 6 days instead 2 weeks.

People can be influenced socialy by the envioment they are in.

cheers!
