"What Would You Do?"


What Would You Do?

The directors of ‘What Would You Do?’ always have a fantastic way of presenting scenarios that happen in everyday life in which we barely ever pay attention to. We watched a couple of episodes of people being judged because of their color, their religion, or even a disability. I watched these people get rejected from applying for a job or simply buying lunch for their family. It’s so hard to see how people easily judge each other without even getting to know them. What if that Muslim lady who was applying for a job, actually qualified and had the knowledge of something the job requires, that any non- Muslim had? What if she had something to offer others didn't have to offer? What about the man who went in the café to buy subs for his family, he was Mexican but that didn’t make him illegal. Nobody knows the background of these people, people just quickly assume something and make it certain in their minds. I once heard a man speak about his Tourette’s, and he simply said “sometimes I can’t control it, but I tell people that I’m not doing it on purpose and it’s a tic I can’t get rid of that moment.” Marc Elliott was his name, he taught us to only worry about ourselves and to “Live and Let Live”.  I feel that quote strongly relates to many scenarios presented to us in ‘What Would You Do?’ because if a person decides to dress like a tranny- let them be! It’s nobody’s business so, live and let live.
