The aim of the passage is to ----.
New Yorkers are often regarded as being unkind.
Actually, this is not a fair attitude. They are willing to
help people who need help, but experience has
taught them a lot of people don't want to be helped.
Are New Yorkers less kind people – less caring on
the inside – than city dwellers in other places? Not at
all. When you talk to them about this, many give good
reasons for their reluctance to help strangers. Most
have been taught early on that reaching out to people
you don't know can be dangerous. To survive in New
York, they were taught that they should avoid even
the potentially suspicious. Some also express
concern that others might not want help, that the
stranger, too, might be afraid of outside contact or
might feel insulted. Many tell stories of being abused
for trying to help. As one woman explains, she saw
an elderly man with a walking stick who appeared
unable to cross a busy street. When she gently
offered to help, he replied angrily, “When l want help,
I'll ask for it. Mind your own business.” Over and
over, New Yorkers say that they care deeply about
the needs of strangers, but that the realities of city
living prevent them from reaching out. People speak
with nostalgia of the past, when they would pick up
hitchhikers or arrange a meal for a hungry stranger.
