Somebodyelseism

The philosophy in which it is always an ambiguous "next person's" responsibility to take action in a given situation.
However, by failing to take personal action, one unwittingly reduces the probability of any action occurring, similar to the "paradox of voting."
A driving force behind the presently lowering trust in western societies, especially in the United States.
The omnipresent philosophy of somebodyelseism has convinced many individuals to avoid taking personal action in the belief that another individual will soon come along and address the situation.
