Why don't people help each other anymore?

good question.. i was in a psychology class and one of the girls pretended 2 have a seizure... i freaked... but out of like 30 people only 2 in the whole class came 2 the rescue and tried 2 at least help prevent a head injury... i was one of the 2 and when i found out the professor had let her do this i was furious.. scared me 2 death.. but i do think alot of people are afraid 2 help others... i mean used 2 kids could go where ever whenever they wanted but times have changed and we hear about crazy scary crimes on the news and everywhere so i think probably is the fear that is the biggest reason..

Many people help others. Get to know your own community and I’m sure you will find that is true.

Mind is a small community (less that 130,000 in the entire county) but the are many people involved in various activities.

There are nearly 500 people who run for various offices and serve the community often for little or no money.

There are around 600 others who voluntarily serve (for no money) on various boards, commissions, and committees.

There are around 35 neighborhood associations with literally more than 2,000 people regularly involved and others involved periodically.

There are over 400 private sector organization which untold numbers of people belong to. Many of these groups work in community affairs.

At the same time the lives of most people have far more demands on them than when I was young.

Some do. Actually lots of people help, and lots of people get helped. We have to look where the good is, and try to model this good for the young people.

There is a lot of ugliness, and selfishness too, but it is not all that there is. People are disconnected from what is important. Most people don't have a real connection to what they create, or make. We push buttons, we answer question, we drive in little boxes isolated from the other people in our community. It's all pretty darned depressing if you dwell there. That's why it might seem like there aren't any people helping.

I am in Cicle K International as a college student which is Key Club in high school, Builder's Club in middle school, Kiwanis out of school and I have got to meet people in my community and all over the world who are also interested in helping other people. We have wored in boy's homes, we have worked with the Boys & Girls Club, the Humane Society, local environmental groups all sorts of different projects. I would loo for us in your community if you want to meet people who still do community service. Also Rotary International or Lion's Club might be in your community.

It's the END TIMES, that means there is an abundance of selfishness and immorality. People will only get worse until Jesus Christ comes back and makes everything new again. I hope you find HOPE in what I have said, if not, then you need Jesus Christ in your life, you have to accept Him as Lord, for He already is Lord, but you have to follow His ways and believe in Him. It ain't easy, but it's worth the rocky road and persecution.

I think people do help each other, we just need to do more of it. Unfortunately, the slackers get more attention.

maybe because too many people go without help when they need it and just expect others to be able to help themselves. Not that its my view or a great view...but it is realistic.

because people are self centered

because they would rather buy pets and take care of those.

i dunno
