William Ditomaso (Edison): Altruism a lost art?

Often in television, movies, and books, you can most certainly find the main character helping others in a do-good “white knight” fashion, but almost never will you see this in real life. 90% of what you find on the news will certainly be depressing, because if it wasn’t it wouldn’t be news and it doesn’t bring in ratings. So what has happened? Not even 50 years ago chivalry was considered the trait of ladies and gentlemen, to always be courteous and helpful. And now walking down the street you will be lucky if anyone makes eye contact with you. Greed has always been a part of human nature, but it seems our generation has become apathetic to everything around us. How much longer will our society hold out for now that socialism has become a bigger part of our lives? I for one will hold out my hand for weak to grab on to, but if they do so is entirely up to them.
