Fast-moving images:
"yesterday on my way back from school, i saw three koreans"
The air was chilly and the skies were cloudy. "What are your plans over the holidays?" Daron asks Jen and Lisa, his Taiwanese classmates.
"Oh, I'll be going down to Sydney on Friday, I'm gonna spend my week there," replied Lisa.
"What about you Jen?"
Jen looked at me and then looked up into the sky... "Nothing!"
We were approaching 50 Heaton Street when we heard screams.
"Stop! Stop! (In Korean :P)
For the sake of not obviously gawking at the people screaming, Daron, Lisa, and Jen used their peripherals to make out whether there was a circus going on in this sleepy neighborhood.
Three Koreans - One big guy, one smaller guy, and a Korean girl. The Big guy was dragging the other guy across the front lawn, slapping him and screaming at him at the same time. The Korean girl gave a few shrieks occasionally.
Daron detected other onlookers from the neighbors' homes.
The three students simply walked away.
*The End*
Could anyone tell me what the psychological term is for people who simply want to be bystanders and not get involved. I studied it in general psychology but I can't remember the proper term...

(i think it's called the "bystander effect".)
