Reluctant to engage in social interaction

I think the reason why people do not intervene to give aid in public situation is that they are basically self-absorbed and uninterested in the lives of others. In my opinion, we used to cooperate each other, especially with family and neighbors to survive in a severe environment in the past. However, the more we have been able to get high technological products, the weaker our relationships between that members have become. Moreover, these products make us comfortable to live alone and nowadays, we have forgotten to help other people.

It’s obviously when you live in cities in Japan. It’s common you don’t know your neighbors and don’t have to care about them deeply because they are independent. Even though we meet with neighbors in front of our house, we usually don’t greet each other. There are some Japanese who think about only efficiency; advantages or disadvantages for someone. I think it’s one of cause to make us self-absorbed people.
