To be uncharacteristically serious, there are only personal answers to the question and I can't conceive of any standard answer to fit the situation. Though I believe we tend toward elements of "sameness" such as herd instincts, the 2% that makes us each individuals is critical to determine how we approach the question.

Like it or not, value judgements enter in to this, both of others and ourselves. Then we evaluate the relationship between the two. Although we may have had similar experiences, we are nonetheless different and each situation we encounter is different..........sometimes even with the same person. It isn't always a case of simply speaking up or remaining silent because in almost every case it isn't black or white, but instead some shade of gray.

I see no answer here. For me, everything is a judgement call at that moment and sometimes I make the "right" decision........other times not. I can only do my best to take the "evidence" into account and make the decision as to what to do accordingly.
