Processing:
Why didn't people immediately stop to help the first man?
What are the reasons why people don't get involved?
Why was the nicely dressed man treated differently?
What would you do, if you you were in New York, and you saw someone laying on the sidewalk?
Do we ever ignore a situation in which people are being hurt? What are those situations?
_Do we always see how much someone is hurting on the inside?
When is it okay to not help someone?
