Let me get this straight: Japanese are polite, respectful but they don't intervene even when they could help other people... why?

I was thinking that we too might hesitate to help someone indifficulty if there was a risk of being hurt. At one time it was okay to hitch hike but now its dodgy-- either side.
If there is a fight in the street-- who wants to dive in and try to stop it? One might get knifed. Oh what a world we are making.
also are we respectful towards a japanese person? we all should have good manners but they often lack here in UK.
