K indness? Indifference?
A woman named Kitty Genove was brutally murdered in 1964 in New York. Thirty-eight neighbors heard her desperate cries for help, but no one offered to help or called the police, which outraged the nation. We couldn't help wondering "What's wrong with tho bystanders?" "Isn't kindness our human nature?"
It is beyond doubt that helping strangers out of good will is
in our human nature. Psychologists have found out that kids as young as 18 months old spontaneously help others without being told to do so, e.g. picking up the dropped items or opening doors for the experimenter. What's more, wehelp others out of the goodness of our hearts.
As Abraham Lincoln said, "When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion." We will feel better about ourlves when we help others and wor when we do not. Finally, we get a "warm glow" when we help others, which. is an experience registering in our brain's pleasure centers. The kindness of strangers indicates that humans are altruistic and willing to help ot
hers even when there is no immediate gain or indeed there is no reward in the future. Since helping others out of good will is in our human nature, why don't we offer assistance in. emergencies? Psychologists have found out that the bystander effect is the result of a complex t of psychological factors. Onc factor is "social affirmation," which means people tend to do what everybody el is doing. They are afraid to stand out and be different. For instance, if a fire alarm goes off in a building and no one
el. ems concerned, most people will tend to do nothing
financial. becau other people are doing nothing. Another factor is the level of ambiguity involved in the situation. Many times lovers do quarrel, sometimes violently. So people are afraid
留学利弊to look foolish if they intervene in the situation and take the wrong action. A third factor is the principle of moral diffusion, which means the larger a crowd, the less likely people will get involved. Everyone thinks that someone el will help. When an old man collaps in front of a group of people, the result is few people will offer help and most of them choo to wait for others to take action.
So what shall we do to encourage people to help? First of all, we should educate people about the b
ystander effect. Once we know about the phenomenon, we are more likely to escape it, and take action. Besides, we can pass a law to protect tho helpers in emergencies. When protected by law, people will not be afraid to be caught up in legal proceedings or get themlves into trouble.
To sum up, it's in our human nature to help strangers out of good will, but sometimes people may do nothing when faced with emergencies. It's not that we are cold or indifferent, but rather, a complex t of psychological factors prevent people from taking actionis. Now that we have learned about all tho factors, hopefully we

Reference:
I have discovered that one thing has a great bearing on the success of my business - the values that I acquired in China long before coming to the United States. The values have much in common with some of the virtues of Confucianism
- the Chine philosophy that stress moderation. However, although I respect the spirit of Confucianism, I have not tried
to adapt this ancient Chine philosophy to modern society,

for besides moderation other factors like patience,adaptability, decisiveness, confidence, innovative thinking,
social responsibility and finally luck are also esntial to success. More importantly, all the factors go together and interact with each other.
