Some people think there are possibilities of getting involved in trouble when helping strangers，so they just dont . However, helping strangers has been considered as a treasured virtue of mankind all the time. Indifference to strangers who need help does harm to our society. For instance，the issue of xiaoyueyue makes peoples heart cold. A little life was gone because of people standing by. Therefore, we should help strangers when we could to make sure our own safety.Furthermore, everyone might need help at some time in some place. What would you do when you were lost in city or outside?People usually turn to strange natives for help. So it is also a social responsibility to help strangers .As for as we might get in trouble, we can help strangers in wise ways. If you cant swim, calling others help is a better choice than yourself saving the one who falls into river. In a word, we should help strangers. Only in this way can relationship among people become warmer and warmer.我的观点支持反方观点 反对总结We used to appreciate those who like to help strangers. But nowadays people tend to be very cautious of strangers， because they are afraid that helping others can sometimes bring them trouble. In my opinion， we should try our best to help others in a reasonable way. We should try to help others， no matter they are strangers or not. First， helping others is a virtue， and it will make our society more harmonious. Just imagine what a terrible world it would be if everyone was coldhearted！ Second， to some extent， helping others is helping oneself. We may come across some trouble and need others help some day. If everyone turns a blind eye to our trouble and turns a deaf ear to our appeal for aid just because we are strangers to them， what shall we do at that time？ Therefore， we should be glad to help others.

Most Chinese people take helping others for granted. They help others without tips. What is also worth noticing fact is that sometimes we need to turn to strangers for help. So helping strangers is also a social responsibility. In January, this year, a bus packed with Chinese tourists rolled on a highway near the Hoover Dam killing seven passengers and injuring 10. People nearby ran to help them as much as possible, brought them water, blankets and called police and ambulance. What consequence would turn out if these injured couldnt get help from the strangers? Furthermore, maybe strangers would reward you. For instance, on a raining day, a young man called Ferri in Philadelphia department store provide a chair for an old woman who got in to take shelter from rain while other salespersons turned a blind eye to her.
