When a person first reads the famous quote “We must always take side. Neutrality helps the oppressor‚ never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor‚ never the tormented.” Spoken by the notable Elie Wiesel while accepting the Nobel Peace Prize of 1986‚ it could cause a reaction; in this case any reaction could occur depending on a person’s morals‚ ethics and even values.
