DESCRIPTION:

Dr. Chuck Wall, a professor at Bakersfield College, recalled hearing about "random, senseless acts of violence" on the news in 1993 and was inspired to assign his students the task of committing "one random act of senseless kindness" as homework. He has since copyrighted the phrase.

A grass-roots movement, Random Acts of Kindness Week encourages people to do something nice for someone else spontaneously with no expectation of return, built up steam during the 90s. In 2004, Oprah Winfrey devoted an entire episode to the concept.

People around the globe have embraced the concept, encouraging and recording these acts, movies like "Pay It Forward" and "Amelie" use the concept as their premise. Many schools have monthly "Random Acts of Kindness"' awards for students.
