Personal question · Equity, Ethics

When quiet was easier

In most groups, sooner or later someone is overlooked or treated unfairly, and it is usually easier for everyone else to say nothing.

The two questions

  1. 1Tell us about a time you spoke up for someone who was being overlooked or treated unfairly in a group, even though staying quiet would have been easier. What went through your mind before you acted?
  2. 2Describe the outcome for that person, for the group and for you. What would you do the same way or differently now?
