I think one question I have is how do we encourage a culture to not allow bystanders? It's an open question, but I hypothesize, if Joe was also my boss, would I have the courage to say something? I want to say I hope I do. I also hypothesize, what if I did say something before a victim situation took place, but as a result I was let go. Should I have stayed quiet? I ask these questions in hopes of shedding light more so on the bystander problem and the responsibility as people to speak up towards others about behaviors we know are not ok.

> I have is how do we encourage a culture to not allow bystanders? A lot of this happens because of an inter-relation of other beliefs. For example, some people do not intervene because they believe that she must deserve it. Another factor is that stepping forward means risking yourself. People err on the side of caution. Maybe they don't have the full story... I also wonder what I would have done...
