You see your good friend Tiana walking by herself past a group of guys. One of the guys yells at her, "Hey, can I get some of that?" Some of the other guys start laughing and cheering the person who made the offensive remark, although two of them look uncomfortable with what just happened.
How might you help Tiana prevent this from escalating into a harmful situation?
A. While the guys' remarks make you a bit uncomfortable, this situation doesn't appear to be serious enough for you to intervene; you don't need to take any action at this point.
B. Approach Tiana and walk with her. Make small talk and ask her if you can accompany her to her destination.
C. Once you've passed the guys, see if you can catch up with Tiana so that you can warn her to avoid walking through that part of campus in the future and suggest a different path to take.
Answer (2)
To help Tiana in this situation, you should approach her and walk with her to provide support and companionship. Ignoring the incident could allow it to escalate, and simply warning her to avoid the area may not be effective. Directly intervening by walking with her is a proactive way to address the inappropriate behavior. ;
To help Tiana effectively, you should approach her and walk alongside her, providing her support and companionship. This proactive step helps to create a safer environment and discourages the offensive behavior from continuing. Avoiding the situation or simply offering future warnings would not provide the same immediate assistance she needs.
