This show is produced by ABC and sets up ethical scenarios in public places in order to examine how people will respond when faced with these situations. There are many different set-ups, drunk doctors, women stealing bicycles, and kids put on leashes. This show is extremely relevant to the topic of gender violence because it addresses many different topics under gender violence, including gay bashing, unwanted flirtation in a bar, and harassing drag queens.
I watched the clip on drag queens being harassed at a coffee shop and asked to leave. Many people ignored the waiter who was harassing them, and one man even stepped in to also ask the drag queens to leave. On a more encouraging note, multiple people stood up to the waiter, letting him know that he was in the wrong.
This shows serves as a way to raise awareness about these issues that happen out in public everyday. Not only can viewers see how other people react to these issues, but the show also offers suggestions about what can people can do if and when they encounter these situations.
