I was not satisfied with Brand's analogy of the global whatevering movement, and hereby present my own, which I feel more accurately reflects the situation:
You are down by the docks and see two men. One is struggling in the water, the other is on the dock, with his arms on the other man's shoulders. You have a gun. Do you:
a)The man is saving a drowning man, go help him!
b)The man is drowning that guy, blow his head off!
c)Let's get a closer before we jump to any conclusions!

Well this brings up and interesting dilemma. A dilemma that will bring out perceptions and judgements about people. If they judge someone will end up dying or getting injured. The most logical answer is to get closer. If you get closer you will be able to find out for sure. You approach with caution so nothing bad will happen to you. If you see a wrong doing react, if you see someone in trouble then help.
