Well it can be tough to go out and just talk to someone. Our news did some experiments to see how the public reacted and if they would help and the results were pretty terrible. Though there have been some things where people have put there lives on the line and even died from doing so, such as being shot by trying to protect a women from her abusive boy freind. There are good people everywhere, I am sure that not all Americans are as helpful as the one you met. From what I have heard some like to treat each other like sh**, well most of my sources are things like the Ghostbusters movies and stuff.
You know i saw a very interesting experiment on discovery, they put people
in a situation where they belived they heard someone calling for help, dying or in
serious trouble. First they did it one and one, and the people reacted individually,
getting help for what they thought was something bad going on/someone in trouble.
Almost every test person reacted right away and said "wait a minute something is wrong here!"
Then, they put a group of 6-7 people togheter and did the same thing. And this is interessting,
no one did anything, people just started to look around at the other people, waiting for
someone to do something. Sometimes one person took charge of the situation and then the
rest immedialtly followed. But most of the times they just got unsure, didnt want to speak up
in front of other people and just looked around waiting for someone else to do something, even though they were listening to something that very well could have been someone
fighting for their lives. In conclusion, we are very sheep-like in some ways

We shine as
individuals, but put us into a large group and suddenly we share one brain or something, everything goes downhill, everyone relies on everone else doing something

doomed to fail.
It`s this mass-thing we see at stadium-concerts and fotball arenas, its just riddicolus how everybody gets sucked in and loose the ability to think of their own in a crowd. Could be used to achieve great things, but of course we use it to fight over a ball on a lawn and music instead, we are just way to much fun to observe we humans
