DESCRIPTION:

Random Acts of Kindness Day occurs during Random Acts of Kindness Week.

Dr. Chuck Wall, a professor at Bakersfield College, recalls 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.

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

People around the globe have embraced the concept. Websites have been developed to encourage and record these acts, movies like Pay It Forward and Amelie use the concept as their premise, and schools have monthly 'Random Act of Kindness' awards for students who commit them.
