In Spain they did another experiment some years ago and they discovered that people were more willing to help a woman that fainted if it happened in a non-crowded area than if it happened in a crowded area (the centre of Madrid).
I think that when people live in a crowded city and/or are surrounded by a lot of information their getting “anesthetized” is a defence mechanism. Feeling deeply others’ suffering all time would be unbearable.
However, there are differences among individuals (originated genetically and educationally) and sensitive people are more conscious of what happens around them and are more empathetic, capable to put theirselves in others' shoes, to understand others' feelings, to treat others as they would like to be treated.
I’d like to know the opinion of Darwin about it.
