Upstanders, Bystanders, Perpetrators, Victims

Up-standers, Bystanders, Perpetrators, Victims

I want to preface by saying this paragraph is going to be a tad bit on the cliché side. It’s important we have up-standers in any given situation because think about it, without them things can get worse than they already are. Up-standers can save victims involved in the crime and resolve an issue, because they aren’t sitting around waiting for others to take care of the situation; maybe with one up-stander it would influence others to be up-standers to. By-standers are absolutely useless in most situations, when a perpetrator ignites a crime someone standing by and watching just makes them just as guilty as the perpetrator. The righteous gentiles are examples of up-standers, the people who knew about the Holocaust and sat around watching people getting bullied were bystanders, the Nazi’s were the perpetrators in the Holocaust, and all of the abused people(Jewish, Handicapped, Homosexuals, Gypsies, Slavs, and many others) were the victims.
