【思路拓展】
➊ 为何现代人对比过去更加愿意帮助别人
➀ 客观而言，现在社会，人们帮助有困难的人拥有更多的条件。换言之，过去人们的可以支配收入有限，当朋友升学或者治病需要经济援助的时候，人们常常是心有余而力不足。但是，现在，经济的发展使得个人收入增加，当朋友们遇到一些经济上的困难的时候，人们有条件伸出援助之手。
➁ 舆论的宣传也起到了一定的作用，很多新闻报道中，帮助别人的行为被赞美，这些对于年轻人有潜移默化的影响，他们会效仿媒体中的榜样去在别人遇到困难的时候提供帮助。例如，《感动中国》的节目就很有影响力，里面宣传的多是励志的助人故事，这对于激励现代人的助人行为是有积极影响的。
➂ 现代年轻人接受了更好的教育，父母和教育者都会教他们行为规范、明辨是非、尤其是在别人遇到困难的时候奉献自己的爱心。例如，我的小侄子知道用小手帮助妈妈从早市回来的时候拉箱子，这些和父母的教育是分不开的。
