George Saunders and David Foster Wallace mention the importance of being kind to one another and the steps necessary in graduation speeches. Both writers state that acting in kindness, ultimately leads to new freedoms and creates an enlightened human being.

The short story"Aha Moment" by Julia Alvarez demonstrates that the point is not to pay back kindness but to pass it on. The story expresses the idea that simple acts of kindness can make a great impact on people both mentally and physically. It can turn frightening and tense situations into assurance and aplomb. In paragraph 8, it is stated," no one screamed,no one panicked. I could hear small pockets of soothing conversation everywhere."

“For the dead and the living we must bear witness”(Elie Wiesel). The book “Night” was published in 1956, by Elie Wiesel.

Kindness is the source of goodness that leads people to true happiness. We help others hoping that it changes their life for the better.

I wasn’t aware of the importance of doing good for others, until recently that I witnessed it with my own eyes. It all started when was at Chicago, a random man helped out a homeless man and bought him some food. I noticed as I was in line that the cashier then gave the helping man a free choice to pick something he wanted due to the action he did. After that day I began to make an attempt at helping out more and being a better person in general.

People often perceive kindness in different ways, some think of the smaller things and some the larger. Acts of kindness are like wonders of the world they make it a better place. For example mountains some see this grand rock that the sun reflects off of in the morning and others see a glorified piece of rock. Smaller acts of kindness are just as important as bigger ones.

I believe that for majority of people Pre-Conventional (level 1) is what we base almost all of our decisions on. We imprint these concepts into our children from a very young age, we teach them that if they don't clean their room they will lose something, and that if they act and do as they are told they will be rewarded. I don't believe that there is truly very many acts of real kindness. Though some do exist, it's almost the exception to the rules of behavior. We live in a society that thinks if they do something nice for another it must be filmed, or ranted about. You see these videos everywhere some stranger buying a homeless guy a meal, or giving him clothing. If you need so desperately for acknowledgement for doing the right thing, it

In “Thank You Ma'am” the kindness is in the story when the lady gives the Roger 10 dollars after he tried to take her pocketbook, that is kindness because she did not have to do it but she did.

This helps lift Mrs. Thompson’s sprits and shows her that she can feel feelings. This shows how being kind to Maggie made her a more loving person in the end. Additionally, in the article, “Teaching Kindness,” the author states that “As minds and bodies grow, it’s abundantly clear that children require a healthy dose of the warm-and-fuzzies to thrive as healthy, happy, well-rounded individuals.” This is proof that children need kindness
