Libyan Reaction: Social Experiments

Some guys from Tripoli lunched an experiment called Libyan Reaction. “Videos for social experiments and pranks to see how Libyans will react!,” reads a short description of initiative launched on the Facebook. The Facebook is getting significant attention. So far it has received more than 32,000 likes.
It’s interesting to watch Libyan reaction towards some circumstances they face in the streets everyday and how they respond to them.
These experiments varied from picking “trash on the sidewalk” to “how to react when somebody steals a person’s cellphone.”

Here are some of their experiments:

Pick the trash

Picking money instead of the trash

Stealing a cellphone in front of you
