1. Do people nowadays help others more than in the past?

I do not think people nowadays help others more than in the past. It is my opinion that in the past, because we lived in *aller communities, people helped each other more frequently. Communities were closer and people knew each other better, therefore, people were more eager to give each other assistance. In the modem world more and more people are living in large urban cities where there is less sense of a community. Therefore, often we feel our neighbours are strangers and we are less inclined to help each other. However, this is not true of everyone, there are still many kind people who help others no matter where they live.

2. Who should teach children to helped others? Parents or teachers?

I would argue that it is the responsibility of both the parents and the teachers to teach children it is good to help others. Helping others is fundamental to the construction of a good and healthy society. In my opinion both parents and teachers have huge influence on children. Therefore, they both have the potential to impart this skill on children and thus it is their responsibility to do so. However, there are some who may disagree with me and be of the opinion that it is not the teacher?s responsibility. Some people believe that a teacher should only teach formal education, and social skills are the responsibility of parents.

3.In what kinds of professions do people help others more?

There are many professions which are based around the idea of helping other people. This is especially true for social services such as doctors, the fire department and the police. These professions exist for the protection and assistance of society. Therefore, I believe these are the kinds of professions which help people the most. However, many young people these days feel like they have been affected more by influential celebrities such as movie stars or pop singers. For these people, the messages and morals found in the art work of these professions have a profound influence on society. Therefore, it is true to say that different kinds of professions can help people in vastly different ways.

4.Why are some people willing to help others?

Some people are definitely more willing to help those around them than other people, and there are a few different reasons for this. Some would argue that some people have an innately more helpful nature, and naturally feel inclined to help others more. Personally, I believe it is more influenced by upbringing. People who were taught that it is good and proper to help other will be more willing to do so. It is for this reason that I believe older people are more willing to help others than younger people. I feel that it was more important to be helpful for older generations and therefore they raised their children to be helpful people.
