This Generation

It is a shame that people today do not care about the suffering of other persons when they are in need of help.

Many ruthless exploit such situations and I am not sure if this would be the same story in the good old days.

I'll admit it's gotten worse, but at the same time it's fairly the same. Growing up, the name of the game was f around and find out. If you wanted to find out something, your parents or teachers would often say 'look it up'. Information wasn't handed out freely. In some instances, you had more caring and compassionate people. Parents could help watch each other's children. But, at the same time, you still had people knifing each other in the street. The color of your skin decided weather you got service, medical care and where you sat in schools. My school had two pools built. The "large" pool for the "white" students. And the "small" pool for the "black" students. If you said anything offencive, you would be ignored, or someone would introduce you to the knuckle sandwitch. So, I don't know if anything is much better. Though with the advent of social media, other people's problems become everyone's business. We live in a world where you have to document everything. If it's not used as entertainment, it's used to cover your butt.

People like that have no conscience. It is sickening.

That is really very, very sad. You'd wonder how people could do this.

I think that people are very selfish nowadays. And this is sad. We need each other.

I think there is no doubt things were better and people were better back then

Yes I do think people had more morals.

I think it was better back in the days. People nowadays are so into gadgets and social media. More are not able to educate themselves how to care for others.

Stuff like that has been going on for years and years which is really sad.

What a shame! Instead of helping they profit of the accident to steal everything they can.

That's so horrible. I've been around for seventy years, and I can say it was much better back in the day. People respected their elders and each other. If there was trouble, everyone pitched in to help.

What a shame. I don't know if it's worse. There have always been kind people and awful people.

Though crimes were common throughout history, I recall people were more caring. I was used to friends walking in to have a chat during weekends, but that is rare now as people pretend to be busy otherwise. It seems a reflex reaction to shoot videos of distressed people rather than helping them.

Yes, 40 or 50 years people cared more about people than they do now. That was such a gentler and caring time.

I do believe the world was a better place when I was a child and young woman.

It's tough seeing such a lack of compassion. It makes you wonder if people were more caring back in the day or if we just hear more about these negative behaviors now.

That is really sad. I noticed that it's quite common nowadays that when an accident occurred, people were busy taking pictures or videos instead of helping those in need.
