Today we briefly touched on the topic about the social worker who was being mugged and willfully gave up his wallet and offered the teen his coat as well. As the teen walks away he invites him in for dinner and to talk. I thought this was really interesting and definitely surprising! i would have never done that if i was being mugged but its the way i see society as a whole. When we wrapped up class with the discussion about random acts of kindness that can be considered deviant, i only thought about homeless people. so often we se people sitting on the side of the street and they are always asking for money. Instead i sometimes offer them food. This one time i was in the city and an old homeless man was begging for food outside a Mc Donald's. I went inside and bought him a meal and gave it to him. He was so thankful and only wanted to talk. i was in a big hurry so i couldnt stay around. But this experience was really surprising and i believe life changing.
