Social experiments is one of the most popular ways in order to discover the majority’s first-hand reaction in a certain situation. The video below will make netizens realized how most people will treat strangers based on their appearance. This could probably be one of the reason why most homeless people continued being poor while those who were capable of living decently were used to their lifestyles regardless of how much money they have, in any particular situation.
Watch the Homeless Social Experiment Viral Video:
The video showcased a stranger who dressed in a business attire needing help and a homeless man with a staggered and filthy clothes. Most people treated fairly the stranger who dressed in a business attire compared to the homeless man, which is a clear indication that the video is an eye-opener on how we treat people around us, particularly a stranger.
Based upon the video posted by Quiet Assassins on their YouTube Channel, the owner of the video noted that his social experiment was supported by his friend Sandy who acted as the stranger with a business attire and also acted as a homeless man. At the end of the video you will suddenly realize how most people treat strangers based on appearance. This particular social experiment will prove my point.
In the first part of the video, two men were seen buying business attire for Sandy, who used the business attire in asking for money. Sandy was filmed with a phone on his ear asking for a few cents from passersby so that he could buy food or coffee. Some people gave him 50 cents and even reached to 2 and 5 dollars. In total, Sandy got around 9.50 dollars. Even a homeless man gave him the money he needed.
In the next part of the video clip, Sandy dressed as homeless man, wearing an ordinary shirt and pants. He asked for money among passersby for his food. A total of four people turned him down and did not lend any money to him. One of the worst part of the video, was when a man immediately said “No!” even if Sandy did not asked for anything. The video ends in a memorable passage from Sheila McKechnie.
