A part of what used to be called American culture was the idea of providing service to others. Picking up the hitchhiker, stopping to render aid to a stranded motorist, watching over your neighborhood with a concern for your neighbor’s property as well as your own are just a few of the countless examples I could site. Although some of the things would be unheard of today, it is still in our nature to provide assistance. I believe there is still an element of this left in many of us. If you have ever tried to convince someone of something solely for their own good when you had nothing to gain then you too have tried to do them a service. So what has changed? Is it a fear of strangers that has taken hold or has society itself changed?
