We are bombarded daily by news reports of bad behavior, from sexual harassment in the workplace, to racist attacks on public transportation, to bullying in schools. This talk examines why so many people fail to intervene when witnessing such behavior and how significant a role silence and inaction play in perpetuating the behavior itself.


As Martin Luther King Jr. said, "History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people."


Finally, this talk will provide simple strategies we can use to speak up and take action.
