Onlooker
An "Onlooker" is a person who observes an event or situation without actively participating in it. This term is often used in contexts such as sports, public gatherings, or emergencies, where individuals may watch but not engage. Onlookers can provide valuable perspectives or insights, but they may also contribute to a sense of detachment from the action.
In many cases, onlookers may feel compelled to intervene or help, especially in critical situations. However, their role is primarily that of a spectator. The presence of onlookers can influence the dynamics of an event, as their reactions may affect those who are involved, such as participants or performers.
