I believe psychology can be applied to the future to improve society by raising awareness. I believe that by raising awareness of diffusion of responsibility and pluralistic ignorance, more people would be inclined to respond in an emergency situation or in a situation where something inappropriate is happening.

There is a TV show called "What would you do?" that provides example situations where this concepts are extremely prevalent. If more people become educated and aware of these concepts, I believe more people in the world would respond in the way that we assume they will or should. Watching that program made me realize that many people do not react in the way that we would expect. Can you give your thoughts on this?
