As the holidays approach, we're going to look at the following videos and discuss "Random Acts of Kindness." We'll start off by hearing about how last year there were a slew of "Layaway Angels" in America, paying off store bills for strangers who couldn't afford to purchase the toys they hoped to give their children for Christmas.
We'll then look at the following video which shows how five different people performed random acts of kindness, discussing what these specific acts were, and why we think the people who did them chose to do so. We'll also talk about the effects of their acts on others—not just on those who received unexpected kindness, but also on those who witnessed it or heard about it later.

Lastly, we'll think about doing kindness for strangers in general, brainstorming all the ways that we could do this ourselves in our daily lives. Are there any differences between performing such acts in the United States or in Russia?

I just came across this video for Noah and the Whale's "Give a Little Love." This really nails how doing one kind thing for a stranger can have a domino effect all over a city, state or nation!
