ABC’s “What Would You Do?” returns this Wednesday with another round of social experiments designed to test our moral compasses. Hosted by John Quiñones, the show presents everyday people with ethical dilemmas, capturing their reactions on hidden cameras. This episode tackles a range of situations, from casual bigotry to serious ethical breaches.
One scenario features a loudmouth heckler spewing insults, examining how – or if – bystanders choose to intervene. Another focuses on the use of steroids, exploring the grey areas around performance enhancement and the potential health risks. And in a scenario that unfortunately reflects a real-world problem, the show observes reactions to the harassment of a gay couple celebrating their anniversary.
“What Would You Do?” also welcomes back its “What Would Kids Do?” segment, offering a refreshing – and sometimes surprising – perspective on how children handle these same situations. As always, Quiñones provides expert commentary, guiding viewers through the psychological underpinnings of the observed behaviors. The episode is a reminder that even seemingly small decisions can have big ethical implications.
Find out what happens when good intentions collide with awkward reality. Tune in to ABC on Wednesday, March 12th at 10:00 PM ET.
