Videos marked "social experiments" represent a special genre: the authors deliberately arrange various non-standard situations and film the reactions of random people. Most often, these videos are of a comedy nature and are very popular on entertainment channels. However, sometimes they touch upon really serious issues and social problems of our society. In this article, you will find several videos that will make you think, smile and maybe even cry.

1. The freezing homeless

In the media, one can often come across an opinion about the special compassion and attentiveness of the inhabitants of developed countries to their neighbors. The participants in this experiment decided to check whether this is actually the case. In the frame - the street of one of the world's largest capitals, winter cold and a freezing little tramp. Will there be any of the hurrying passers-by who will stop and help him?

2. Stealing from a beggar

In this video, the authors check random passers-by for honesty. To do this, they placed a beggar on one of the alleys of the park, and near him, on a cardboard box, rather large bills. For most people, this didn't change anything, and they kept throwing their coins. However, there were also those who wanted to steal money from the poor man, so the social experiment ended in a real chase.

3. Rescue a suicide

One of the most exciting stories on this list. It begins with the fact that a man sits in a taxi in a terribly depressed mood and begins to complain to the driver about his life. Driving over one of the bridges, he asks the driver to stop and gets out with the clear intent to commit suicide. The driver's reaction is amazing and touching to tears.

4. The child in the car

What happens to a small child if he remains in a locked car under the scorching rays of the sun? The answer is obvious. However, almost none of them passing by people did not find the time to save the baby from danger. Only two people in almost ten hours of the experiment decided on a desperate attempt to break into someone else's car.

5. Have sex with a stranger

There is an opinion that a real man is always ready for love, especially if such a charming girl offers it. Testing in practice breaks this statement. Not all of the hundred of the guys interviewed in this experiment showed a willingness to follow the stranger right away. The video is quite long, but at the end you will see the final score.

6. Street violence

Almost every person has at least once in his life found himself in a situation where he sees before him some kind of flagrant injustice. At such moments, one half of him wants to intervene, and the other encourages him to turn away and not look for unnecessary problems. The authors of this video decided to check what decision the inhabitants of the capital of Sweden will make if, in front of their eyes, several guys begin to beat the child.

Of course, not all of the experiments presented above have scientific value and representative results. But they make you think about modern society and human relations for sure. And this is the first step towards trying to become better, change your life and take a fresh look at the people around you.
