Bystander

A bystander is someone who observes an event, such as an emergency or a conflict, without actively participating. They are present at the scene but do not intervene or get involved. Bystanders can sometimes feel unsure about whether to help or may assume someone else will step in. The way a bystander reacts can influence the outcome of the situation, making awareness of this role important for promoting responsible behavior and encouraging people to act when help is needed.
