"What happens to others is none of my business." I disagree with this because you should care about other people. I also agree because some people get upset if you're all up in their business. You should always treat others how you would want to be treated. If you care about that person's troubles/business, then, they would care about yours in return.

Personally I believe what happens to others is my business. When I was little my mom would always call me her ":Nosy Ladybug". I can't help that I get involved, I just enjoy spreading my thoughts about my surroundings. This quality is very useful when it comes to sticking up for others. I can still remember myself at 9 years old sticking up for my cousin who was 11. My cousin had a speech disorder. This would cause others to make fun of him. So one day when we were playing basketball, a boy said a very rude comment. I couldn't help but to say something smart back to him.

"What happens to others is none of my business." I disagree with this quote because "others" could refer to anyone. "Others" can refer to someone's sick elder. It could refer to the women getting abused by cruel men. This should be some of everybody's business because people need to be sensitive towards issues and situations the that.

I believe the statement, "What happens to someone is none of my business.", is wrong. If someone is severely hurt it will be hard for them to take care of themselves. If you see them struggling would you help? I bet this statement wouldn't apply to someone you care about. You would help them through every step of the way.

The statement "What happens to others is none of my business" is not a completely accurate one. If something happens to someone I might not know that doesn't mean that what is happening to that person is right, in fact it might as well be my business. If I were in the same situation as that person I would be mad if another person that because they're not involved that they don't have to do something about it. The last they(and/or you) could do about it is report it to a responsible adult. Truthfully, if someone you knew went through the same problem, such as bullying, you would be angry so why treat the unknown differently.

" What happens to others is none of my business." This is a very interesting quote because people feel this way towards many situations. Most of the time, these situations deal with conflict between race or religeon. For example, the Donald Trump issue and how he wants to send all illegal Mexican immigrants back to Mexico. Although most of us aren't illegal, this still affects us mentally. Donald Trump is setting out a bad example and it affects our state of minds. So, we need to be more aware or have an open mind. I'm not saying get in everyone's business, but take things into consideration.

What happens to others is none of my business as long as they don't bring it my way I'm fine, no one has ever treated me unjustly, so it doesn’t matter to me.

My response to the statement "What happens to others is one of my business" is that you shouldn't always feel like this. For example, phones, when people crack other people's phone they really don't care and is just like "oh well just get it fixed". When they crack their screen they have a breakdown talking about "you need to fix my phone or pay for it ". So when you accidentally do something to someone else's stuff act as if it would be you, instead of not caring. Another thing is to think about if you were in the same position.

What happens to others is none of my business and as long as it doesn't affect me why should I care. Seems pretty practical. If someone else is getting hurt its okay because it isn't infringing on my rights or standard. No one has ever treated me unjustly so I'm okay. While this may be rational and piratical in hindsight it's not. Treat others how you want to be treated is a better way for a better society in my opinion.

1.) I believe the saying "what happens to others is none of my business" is incorrect. In some cases, it is your business and you should get involved. Let's say you see your co-worker dealing with a rude customer, would you stand on the sidelines and let it go down? No, that wouldn't make sense, because you can't stand there and let him/her suffer. The customer should be removed from the scene or talked to about their rude behavior.

The statement "What happens to others is none of my business" is kind of wrong sometimes we shouldn't buzz around but at a certain point we should mind people's business like if someone stole someone else stuff and you know who that person is. If we don't care what happens about others there would be no justice system, rules, and no laws. The statement "As long as they don't bring it my way is wrong because that is just plain selfish. The statement is also wrong because if you see someone robbing someone else and you can stop them,but you don't help.If your getting robbed you want someone to help you."No one has ever treated me unjustly" That's wrong because a lot of people were treated wrong like slaves , Jews in the holocaust, Japanese people when WW2 was going on.I have been treated unfairly but not under that extent

What happens to others can be very important depending on the situation. If there is harm towards another person or in my community it is of course my business to help try to fix the situation, I will make this my business and take care of it. I strongly disagree against the statement in quotes. That business does matter.

There is a high teen suicide rate all over the world. Most of these are caused by by bullying. Some people may say, "what happened to others is none of my business." It actually is your business. You see people getting bullied everyday. Do you stand up for them? Do you tell the teacher? Many people wouldn't help, but why? If someone is bullying you, wouldn't you want someone to stick up for you?

"What happens to others is none of my business." I think that what happens to others is my business. You never know when something could happen to you that nobody cares about. You should care about what happens to others because that could happen to someone you love. Many people might think its none of their business because its never happened to them before. Even if it hasn't happened to you, you should still care.

This essay is about my response to a certain statement, in this essay I will state my opinion on the statement. Today, many people don’t care about what happens to others as long as it does not affect them personally. Even though this is true for some, whatever happens to others can affect you directly or indirectly. For example, if someone got the report that their mother has cancer, that attitude would go away in two seconds. Some might change their point of view entirely because of a certain events.

"What happens to others is none of my business." This may be true, but not 100%. If you go like nothing is your business when someone gets bullied, you stay out. But when someone you care about or yourself gets involved, will you help to stop it? If you do, why not do the same for others. You would want help if you were in their shoes.
