The Perils of Indifference

1. The danger of people standing by and not caring.

2. In the story "The Lottery" the towns people shocking end up stepping aside from the violence and let  it happen. Everyday people are standing by watching bad things go on without even realizing it. For example, in high school people are brutally bullied and harassed, students don't realize keeping quiet and allowing it to go on can build it up and eventually lead it to much more serious situations.

3. Elie Wiesel's speech talks about how peoples constant ignorance causes terrible events or even massacres, when everyone is raised seeing these horrible traditions and ways of living they can find it absurd when people with other point of views try to say it is wrong and should be stopped.
