Random Acts of Kindness Questions:

1. Hold The Door for Someone is an act of kindness that could be both random and spontaneous, but thoughtful and polite to others. This kindness treats people how their actions can speak louder than words, just by lending a hand to being polite.

2. The research that was done to find this piece was to look at a website and use information that was on the article. It concluded that a small gesture could brighten their day and may change the mood from bad to good.

3. The article convinced me to do good things to other people so their days might not be so gloomy and down all the time.

4. “How Random Acts of Kindness Can Benefit Your Health” is about a woman and her daughter who was suddenly disabled from daily activities and needed strangers to assist them in a hard time. I chose this article because I read how one person like Priya Advani (Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine) can be touched just by the assistance of one or more people. This surely inspired me to do the same and help the helpless become happy.

Activists Research

1. Activist 1: Frederick Douglass: A former slave and Human rights activist who wanted an abolitionist movement for black citizenship. Captured of words of what America is about. Met John Brown, who was a passionate abolitionist wanted to overthrow the establishment of slavery and declines to due to violence, but John Brown hung. From Abraham Lincoln, Free Soldiers (Slaved) would be recruited and fought for freedom and Douglass was contributed to be a great leader for a recruit officer.

2. Activist 2: John F. Kennedy: United States Presidency for the American Civil Rights. He Represented change, possibility, equality to people who didn’t have equality to their lives. John inspired people to go onto the streets and march for their own rights and young people to join the Peace Corps and do well around the world. Contributed too much success against Cuba and the missile crisis.

3. Activist 3: Nelson Mandela: Mandela was an Activist to relieve black Africans from a much segregated South Africa. Created the spear of nation that would have non-violent use to his peace. He joined the African national congress to oppose the government of racial segregation. From this, South Africans were able to vote for their own leaders and achieved his dream for all South Africans to be equal.

5 causes of Activism

1. Environmental activism of the population because equality of people (Blacks, Whites, Asians, Mexicans, etc.) is a better nation than a nation that is not equal in both human rights and civil rights.
2. Supranational Activism use of many non-free countries or a non-governmental country that has no rules to become an established country.
3. Coverage of media: The media should cover all news and media to show what is happening to the countries that have to do with the world around us today.
4. Usage of Poverty: The world has very high poverty in every part of the world and would not be useful for a nation that will be strong again in the case of an outbreak from the Government.
5. Justice to the environment would give crimes poor and disadvantages to the land and other areas that are seen as polluted and for that we should stand up for our only place we inhabit on.

This will be an instructional post about the creation of a Pinhole Camera.

A Pinhole is a small, light-tight can or box with a black interior and a small hole in the center of one end.

Step 1: Finding A Can or Box Pinhole Camera

Step 2: Painting the Boxes Interior
Reason: To not allow light to expose the picture when taking a photo.
Error to look for: Chipped or peeled paint could allow light to enter

Step 3: Making the hole
Reason: To allow light from subject to reveal in the camera
How to: Use a sewing needle to pierce halfway through

Step 4: Now you are ready to take your pinhole photos and make sure you are not revealing any light that might get into the camera. Use a Kodak Film or any film paper and expose it for this amount of time —–> Bright Sunlight: 1-4 seconds/ Cloudy Bright: 4-16 seconds.

Step 5: Process and Printing photos: Develop the negative into the developing stages (See Link: https://blogs.egusd.net/mouab/2014/09/02/film-developing-review/)
