Person tests people on their kindness
You never truly understand people until you put them in a position to choose and the choice comes so naturally to them...
Social experiments can reveal a lot about society.
But don't get it twisted, they aren't meant to be a way to name and shame people.
We think that social experiments are ways to show people a different side of thinking; a way that we don't always convene towards.
A video that grabbed our attention and encouraged people to think outside the box was posted to TikTok. It showed a man approaching people with a choice.

Two out of the three people who were given the choice chose an iPhone 14 over feeding the homeless.
But it wasn't about them, it was the story of a young boy who chose to feed the homeless and refused the brand-new phone.
This young man shared that his family had passed through some tough times during the pandemic and had to visit a soup kitchen for food. This motivated his decision, but it wasn't the only reason he refused the phone.
