[00:07.42]On Turning A Blind Eye to Someone in Danger
[00:12.41]It has been gaining more and more of media attention
[00:17.72]that people today tend to turn a blind eye
[00:22.02]to someone in danger without lifting a finger to help.
[00:26.31]There are several explanations to the phenomenon.
[00:30.04]Some people blame it on the lack of laws and regulations.
[00:34.84]Those who turn away from a dying person will not be punished,
[00:39.69]while people who help others may be framed
[00:42.89]and cause themselves great trouble.
[00:45.32]Others think it is due to the lack of spiritual guidance in a society
[00:50.79]where people care more about money than life itself.
[00:54.90]Some people even ask for reward
[00:58.45]before they consider helping others,
[01:00.81]which compromises the best time to save a life.
[01:04.54]As a college student,
[01:06.72]I think it is a shocking phenomenon and we should put an end to it.
[01:11.62]Laws and regulations should be worked out
[01:15.01]to punish those who ignore others' lives
[01:17.75]and to protect those who offer help.
[01:20.42]What's more,
[01:21.85]citizens should be educated to feel
[01:24.55]morally responsible to help others in need.
