Bike Thief Research Paper
In WWYD the bike thief I learned that humanity can be very racist and sexist. "Then again she's a girl" shows that the man was sexist. With the white man only two people tried to stop him in an hour.

He said "what if that was you?". In another clip in Washington a homeless man was beaten and he even fell and hit his head on a car but nobody helped him for nineteen minutes and by the time help arrived it was too late. They set up the scenario with a homeless looking man with a beer can in his hand and nobody helps, eighty eight people passed by and then finally Linda Hamilton tries to help him. She asked people to call 911 but people just ignored her. After around twenty six people passed by a woman calls for help. She took his beer can and threw it away and gave him a name, she named him Billy. A man even put cardboard under the guys head as a pillow. Even after the cameras came out she was still asking him if he was okay. Overall humanity can be cruel to homeless people and we need to all be kind to each
