    John M. Darley and Bibb Latane 's essay, "When will people help in a crisis?" could argue that people have become cold and should open their eyes to what is going on around them so they do not neglect the people surrounding them. We should agree with Darley and Lanate because there are people who choose to ignore those around them even when those people are being abused.
