Random Acts of Kindness is not a new idea to many people, but it should be an idea that is constantly reminded to everyone. This idea celebrates the good that everyone is capable of and the impact people are able to have to have in others. Random acts of kindness are done in many forms and has the ability to touch many, either by notes, compliments, smiles, holding doors, along with so many other possibilities.
There has been many campaigns that have worked on the idea of random acts of kindness. Many take the forms of pay it forward, such as Starbucks which allowed its customers to pay for the person behind them in line. Another example of these campaigns are the commercials on TV that highlight the idea to Pass it On. They highlight so many areas of positive messages, kindness and motivation that really can empower individuals.
The one frontier that needs to be addressed is social media for kindness. This platform fosters so much development for people to connect, for business, events, and more. But it lacks a safe environment for people to express kindness as hate can easily over shadow all the good that is happening. The power of people to share information to the world without a filter is dangerous. The promotion of random acts of kindness is a very unique challenge to take on in social media as there is so much information being pushed through on social media. Lets be the generation to stop this and to work to a social media campaign of random act of kindness.
