Hitchhiking

"how do you think the use of hitchhiking has changed over time?...what do you think is the cause of this? is it beneficial to those in need or just overall too dangerous?..explain your thoughts"

I don't think hitchhiking has changed much over time. I think people hitchhike for multiple reasons. One, to get from place to place. Two, for a thrill. Some people might find excitement from it. And third, well obviously because they are crazy and want to steal things from you or kill you. I think it is beneficial to the people who hitchhike for a good purpose, but it has obvious dangers too. I personally wouldn't pick up a hitchhiker, I've seen way too many scary movies. Although, I do feel bad when I pass people and it's pouring rain or freezing cold and I just simply drive by. You never know how much you could be helping a person out by giving them a simple ride.
