Go to the cities or suburbs and it can be totally different.
I think it was "the Human Animal" documentary that showed it best.
They got a bloke to colapse in a village, and within seconds a shop owner had rushed out of her shop to see if he was ok, and other people were coming to assist.
Then he did the same in a city, and people just walked around him. It was ages before anyone stopped to see if he was ok.
