Helping others

Have you ever seen somebody in need? Like an old woman trying to carry her heavy shopping bags or a little child which fell down?

How do you feel when you think about helping others? Others could be your mother or your siblings, your neighbour or a complete stranger.

Scientists frequently research our behaviour when it comes to helping others on the street. And they found out that we are not the best when it comes to helping. Most of us turn away, walk away or try to ignore the person in need.

Only some are willing to help. Some call these helpers 'street heros' because they make our world a better place to live.



Could you be a street hero? Have you helped somebody before? Or did somebody help you?
