Disassociation in China
Some of the information revealed in the video is quite shocking from a social perspective.
A reaction or behaviour that can occur anywhere in isolated instances appears to be a cultural phenomenon in China. Is this an extreme form of cognitive dissonance, cultural apathy or a Chinese anomaly? Or statistically is there no difference compared with other countries?
Historical reasons are put forward in an attempt to understand it. It certainly seems to indicate something disturbing within the Chinese psyche different from the usual go to arguments.
Outside of the filmed events themselves the narrator has a lot of experience living in China and speaks Chinese.

Re: Disassociation in China
Cognitive dissonance at it's finest. We all have it to varying degrees. It really is a soul deadening structure of the ego. I am trying to become aware of it everyday in myself.
In the social experiments that were shared, I am guessing most didn't even have to rationalize to themselves why they took no action. There seemed to be a couple of people that had a emotional response yet still did nothing.
One thing I noticed is that no one seemed to use their cell phones to call the "authorities" for assistance. I wonder, are they afraid to do that? Is it discouraged? In the US it seems that would be the response, at least some of the time.
