Good Samaritan laws, interesting. There has been alot of "air time" lately on people not helping other people in need. The media shows the video of a man dying in the street and people just walking by without helping. Another shows someone shooting a person in a store and everybody just ignores it and continues to shop. Why is this happening?
I have my own ideas on this subject. When I was young it was part of the culture to help people and you were praised when you did.
Skip forward about 40 years and now people are taught to not get involved. Why is that?
Is it because you see it on television, movies and news reports that helping people gets you in trouble? YES. We have gone from a help your fellow man to "No good deed goes unpunished" Why....there is only one word that comes to my mind...lawsuits.
