The Power of One: Stand Up for What's Right

This could make you feel terrible for treating your buddy in this way.

You may also find it amusing when your buddies abuse others, or you can get outraged when you see it.

Even if you fear being the bullies' next victim, it is worth taking action because your voice matters.

Recognizing how our choices can improve society when faced with a morally complex situation can be challenging.

This may be because courage is only sometimes a cause for celebration.

Using physical force to stop someone or criticism for inappropriate behavior are common elements of this communication, which can make some people uncomfortable.

Speaking up when colleagues are in the wrong because of their loyalty to us can be difficult.

Because we care for the individuals we care about, we could be too afraid to speak up for what's right. Even this can't deter us.

We shouldn't always equate our strong emotions—like anger—with the greater good, even if they might motivate us to confront the wrongdoings of others.

Although anger is often associated with undesirable outcomes like violence, it may also have positive outcomes when channeled appropriately.

Our anger when someone wrongs us fuels our urge to make things right.

That is, anger can make you more moral. However, because anger has a bad image, we might want to put it down, which would put out the spark.

Even though we know everything that makes it hard, that shouldn't stop us.

Instead, we can use what we've learned to develop natural ways to encourage bravery.

Everybody can work on being more morally brave.

But it doesn't have to be done by one person. Instead, groups like businesses, schools, and social media sites play a big part.

Because we all have different ideas about right and wrong, so it is easier to spot crime.

By recognizing and acting on basic principles, institutions can help this process along.

For example, the rules and principles teachers discuss can be very important for kids and teens.

In cases where it's unclear if someone's actions are wrong, onlookers should ask others around them what they think about the situation or a possible target if they are okay.

People shouldn't hold back their anger when bad things happen because it can fuel their desire to help.

On the other hand, when someone shows anger, it shouldn't be seen as illogical but as a reaction to something unfair.

By setting up reporting methods, institutions remove the pressure on bystanders to choose and review their ways to help, which means they don't have to face the person directly.

If witnesses go up to a criminal immediately, other people should want to help them to lower the risks.

As we've seen, there are several ways to make it easier, but they all take work from people and groups.

Why should you put in that much work?

Because more people who are willing and able to be brave would bring more wrongdoings to light and fix them.

This could make our society more responsible and fair.
