I don't think so, but people are so distracted, by their phones, that they don't notice that other might need help.

There's also two or three generations of people now who are absolutely terrified of talking to others, so you have to exhibit so level of distress for them to act.

Generally though, I feel like people want to help strangers, and social media makes that easier to do. We have a local organisation that helps those less fortunate, and last year they wrote on Facebook a few days before Christmas that they had five familie (I think if was five), who hadn't been able to get help elsewhere and if people had food, or money they could spare. Took them just a few hours to ensure a nice Christmas for those families. Without social media, we wouldn't have known, and it basically only Facebook that can reach so many generous people in such a short time.
