- "In Psych 301, the prof. was telling us about the time his wife was in a plane, and a woman started choking. She said "this woman is choking!" (she wasn't near her) and people just ignored her (She eventually got up to do the Heimlich maneuver). Afterwards, people went to thank her, but they weren't going to do anything since there were so many other people on the plane. Responsibility gets diluted."

- "You should break it down into paragraphs, it would be easier to follow; also, have the text aligned on the left. You have a lot of repetitions too, which could be left out (like the several references to the Treaty of Versailles in a few lines). Hope this helps!"
