Random Acts of Kindness and Positive Deviance Go out of your way to help a stranger (not a friend or family member). You might give someone directions, help someone to carry parcels, or even smile and say a friendly hello. (Important note: Remember to keep safety and sensitivity to others’ feelings in mind when you approach people you don’t know.) Write answers to the following questions to help you evaluate the stranger’s reactions to your act.

a. How do you think the traits of the individual you helped (race, age, gender) affected the situation?

b. Why did you choose your particular act of kindness?

c. How did you feel while performing the random act of kindness?

d. What surprised or impressed you the most about the individual’s reaction?
