Chaos is Megalopolis Many crimes take place over the years in the Megalopolis, while bystanders do nothing to help in these emergencies. A murder takes half an hour to commit while 38 witnesses do nothing to assist but stare off, in the distance, as if they are in complete shock. In a Megalopolis, it makes our lives difficult, and leads to the alienation of individuals from groups. Darley and Latanè’s “Why People Don’t Help in a Crisis” is effective because of their strong use of examples, experiments

They value the life lessons that come from change and from, altogether, new experiences. A lot of people seem to thrive on the stability
