[@kurtkatzemcqueennovaaetate6873]

@@heuhen Well, we have a name for people that tell others who drink to calm down... 'asshole'. How can you possibly drink and not be loud? I remember I was staying at a hotel in Tennessee for a college class trip and there was a bad ass party going on in the room next to me. You could hear music and people dancing and talking. It started around 9:30 PM... by 1:00 AM I said fuck it and I went over to their door, knocked, and asked to be let in so I could party too. The guy said, "why should we let YOU in"? I simply said, "I'm Irish". He immediately let me in. I requested 'Jump Around' by House of Pain. I got my 'Dass Boot' (a large glass in the shape of a boot) and filled it with Guinness. Later on in the party an old guy came in. I was so drunk I didn't realize who he was at first but then I realized he was Mr. Nordin...one of my teachers. Mr. Nordin was 56 years old and he drank half and half vodka redbulls and liquor. I not only got to listen to my favorite song and drink massive amounts of bourbon and beer with Mr. Nordin, I also got a girlfriend who I am still with now. I came, I chugged, and I got a hang over the size of Texas. P.S. I proceeded to take a test the next day while hung over... and I got an A.

The way we westerners are willing to go out of our way to compliment others, apologize, or show kindness through our actions is something I will always be proud of. In comparison, places like Russia or Korea might think that you are trying to get something in return by being kind, which is why the random kindness is seen as suspicious or strange. Something that I love the most is when I'm walking by a stranger and we either smile towards each other or exchange a quick "good morning" or "hello" before passing by. Small things like that go a long way. Thank you both for reacting to these videos!

[@carochan86]

It really does. What if that stranger is having a bad day. What if they are homeless. Its nice to feel recognized and that you are not alone.

[@Kingdom_Of_Dreams]

@@carochan86 Exactly. We all hear stories of people who were silently struggling until they were shown kindness by a stranger, which supported them through their difficulty. I once had a guy pay for my things at Dollar Tree, and he said that he does it for the person in front of him every Sunday. Imagine if I was financially struggling and he did that? That could really change your life.

A random act of kindness I experienced before (there are actually quite a few however this was most recent) was when I was buying groceries at the store, I searched my pockets for my wallet and I couldn't find it realizing that I had accidentally left it in the car. When I was about to step out of line the woman behind me offered to purchase all of my groceries and not to worry about it. I have never felt so happy and cared for by someone I have never seen nor met before, it really was very kind of her I will never forget that day.❤

[@_previously]

I think that a better way to see these random acts of kindness is to have your reactors watch episodes from a tv show called “What Would You Do?” It’s an American candid reality show that uses actors to act out controversial and/or difficult situations in public to see what people would do and if they’d react or step in. Example: What would you do if you saw kids bullying their classmate? What would you do if you overheard a someone cheating on their partner on the phone while they were in the bathroom? Etc. It’s a very good show and I think that it’s waaaay better than these poorly-put-together compilation videos with voice overs on KZbin. The show does more than just show people being kind but also gives some pretty interesting commentary on the human condition and behavior.

[@karenneill9109]

Good idea! I’ve watched it with my kids and it always leads to great discussions.

[@mara_q9979]

yep! I've shed a lot of happy tears watching WWYD

[@Riva2025]

I like the show too. Problem is, they interview people near the area they probably film it, which is usually the NY/NJ area. I was raised there. People from there are assertive, loudmouthed, not afraid to get in your business or fight to protect someone if they are getting threatened, and they are also familiar with people of all cultures and sexualities. If they didn't film people in the tri-state area, they wouldn't have a show because no one would speak up, but they do not represent all of the USA. When they try to film out in the Mid-West, or up North or other parts of America, people don't often intervene.

[@magnarcreed3801]

@@Riva2025 They represent people from Wisconsin and Colorado. I know this much. Bred and born in Wisconsin, grew up there most my childhood and then moved. People up North might not understand specialities and genders well, might even give you a good tease, but they’re good people that will invite strangers to barbecues, stand up for others, and overall care about everyone.

North Americans can have an attitude of "I'm minding my own business. Don't bother me. I don't want to interact with you unless I need something from you." But... when there's an emergency, an accident, or a crisis... some will step up and help. My mother had a seizure on the street and while waiting for an ambulance, random people came up and formed a circle around her, squatting on the ground to block the cold wind from blowing on her! One random man took charge and recruited people to join in and he called back 911 to ask what was taking the ambulance so long to arrive! So not all people are bad! Some people still have a good heart.

And most of them have to struggle with the mental anguish of not being able to do much of anything beyond staying home and working. And sometimes even have to debate on whether they'll eat or pay their rent on time. That tip of $100 made it all worth it, even if only for a moment.

I was staying in Seoul a while back. Honestly, I didn't speak much to Koreans, BUT my apartment building had an elderly man who was sort of a building manager. Mr. Kim ! He went out of his way to help me, help when my friend needed help, to talk to me, even presented me to his friends (not in a creepy way). I remember the smile of pure joy on his face when I was able to string two sentences in Korean for the first time. He was really nice and sweet ! I was also feeling really self conscious in Seoul because I'm white and at the time, there weren't that many foreigners around (over 10 years ago) but also I really don't fit into Korean beauty standards or fashion standards. I can't say that I felt like I was ugly but I was getting a lot of looks, and I couldn't tell if it was my ethnicity or my body or my fashion, etc. So it felt a little exhausting and intimidating at times. Until one day, I was getting yogurt ice-cream with a friend and I was always trying to address everyone in Korean even if I was making mistakes. So I was ordering toppings (doing my best, reading the names in Korean) and when I went to pay, the girl behind the counter told me in Korean that I was really cute. It really made my day. It also reminded me that if you try hard and you're nice to people, they can find you cute, even if you feel like you look different.

[@Riva2025]

If you are White they were staring at you because you are considered the beauty standard to reach in Korea.

And I have a fashion sense that's very much not Korean. That's why I felt different. Also, I wasn't there to date or get married, I was there to study. I had a great time in SK and I look fondly upon my experience there. It wasn't ruined because I didn't fit in. I was commenting on a small part of my experience there. Don't push your fantasies on me and make it sound like I'm some sort of idiot because I noticed how different I look.

I was only saying that I don't fit their beauty standards at all. Not that people were r*cist. I precised that I'm white because I am and at the time (which was like 10 years ago) there wasn't many foreigners there, all colors included. As for that person who asked, I don't know, why she asked. I told her I was financing it because I got inheritance money from a deceased family member to finance my studies and she said she had spend all the inheritance she got on mangas and DVD's (it was +10 years ago) and therefore had no money left.

I had my random act of kindness immediately returned once. I had an appointment for a haircut early one day, like i got there a few minutes before the stylist opened her shop. She let me in early so i didnt have to wait outside. A few minutes after she starts cutting my hair, a gentleman walks into the shop looking pretty scruffy. He asked the stylist if he could be squeezed in for a cut since he got a surprise job interview. The stylist tells him that unfortunately, she's the only one working this morning and that she already has a customer she is in the middle of working on (me) I pipe up that she can just get him done before she continues with my haircut if that's okay with her. Both of them asked me multiple times if i was sure, but of course i was sure! My only plan that day was the haircut, and then i was going to goof off the rest of the day. A job interview is SO much more important than me playing video games lol So she does his cut, the man thanks us both before leaving, and she finishes up my cut. After she finishes, i go up to pay, but that nice man had already paid for my haircut as well as his. I walked home with a big smile on my face and misty eyes.

He wouldn't give it back and wouldn't allow us to look at the video. he got a freshly cashed whole pay check from us... we now lost our rent money and our bills didn't get paid.

To clarify, complimenting is when you say genuine and lovely things about people such as pointing out an accomplishment or a particularily nice feature about them. Flirting is similar, but with a romantic overture. Although, a lot of people flirt without any real intention for follow through. It's a bit complicated sometimes. The pitch thing is because pitch is emotive in the English language. How we say something flavours the meaning of what we're saying. In some languages, such as Cantonese, which is a sung language, pitch actually changes the word that is being said so it isn't used in an emotive fashion. This can get quite confusing for Westerners because we can mistake it for yelling or stress.

Always enjoyable, thanks.😁

I'll never forget the lady who bought me a Starbucks coffee at the airport, not knowing my grandma died the previous night and I couldn't be there for her funeral bc I had to fly home. It was my last morning in the US (I had been visiting my family bc my grandma was dying) and I was waiting to board my flight back to Korea. My grandma unfortunately died during my last night there and I had to leave knowing I would miss her funeral and my mom would mourn alone without me. It was one of the worst days of my life... But I was trying to be strong in the airport and act normal. I really wanted a coffee but couldn't leave my bag unattended and didn't want to give up my seat knowing it would be taken if I left (I was so physically drained). The lady next to me was very nice and talked with me and asked me if I could watch her bag while she got a coffee. I told her yes and asked if she could do the same for me after. But instead she bought me a coffee and told me not to worry. I almost had a breakdown right then and there, all because of this small act of kindness on one of the worst days my life. ❤️

this made me feel a little better. As an American i feel like a lot of the ugly here has been on display recently: the racism, beating people up on the street, etc. it's been nasty. but this was a good reminder there's still good out there

Brazilians will be hugging and calling you bestie after meeting twice and hitting it off (which they usually do with nearly everyone) 😂

[@jus0402]

Because most will think being “kind” always have ulterior motive and sometimes people will take advantage of you for being too kind. That random acts of kindness its very seldom.

[@shikyo13]

I think it would be best to change this video concept to random acts of kindness abroad rather than in America. A good amount of these videos were from other countries...

[@davidransom4476]

Those ball girls at the stadiums have videos here on KZbin showing them making catches that rival the professionals.

[@janav8862]

I’m a New Zealander and no that’s not flirting, we are just overly polite 😂

[@majickalbeing]

Most people in America are raised with the knowledge of, "Treat others they way you want to be treated". I don't know anyone who wants to be badmouthed or mistreated. I'm sure in South Korea it is the same.

[@BangchansLostFelix]

They’re not shocked by the kindness, they’re shocked that it’s done by Americans 😂

[@DirectorButter]

Ah yes, queen guards is a US act of kindness

[@ElleYama]

The train push at @5:00 … I’m sure that happened in Australia and not the US, right? Why is the video titled US kindness when this appears to show clips from all over the world?

[@SS-pq9ci]

These guys serve two compulsory years in the military. Makes you wonder what their military is like.

[@Koakoa45]

we are taught from early childhood in USA you get more with honey than vinegar. Meaning be nice. I live in deep south, we are a culture of respect and honor. You address people older than you or over you in business or school differently than friends here. You just don't call them by their first names, it is Ma'am or Sir. You use Miss and Mr with last name when introducing someone. Now we do have a Miss (first name) or Mr (first name), but this used to address someone older than you that you know really well, and they told you it is ok to use. It's like we don't eat until the host or cook sits and eats first, unless you have an elder over, then you eat after host or cook sits, then elder eats, then host/cook eats. With that being said, we are just taught from birth pretty much that people will judge your family and your character by how you act, so you just better be polite if you want respect.

When we had tourist in our city on my way to my car I would help the lost tourist. One day it happened twice with in a 10 minute walk to my car.

[@matthall113]

I love this!

[@xenjanobody2097]

I may be mistaken but the blind girl who the chef wrote happy birthday in braille is the same blind girl with the voice of an angel, she did a cover of JVKE’s golden hour which was the most beautiful version I’ve heard! Natalie Tee pa I believe? Maybe I’m wrong but she’s such a pretty singer!

[@sakurased101]

Why kindnes from US when some clips are from Argentina, China , Germany, United Kingdom.

[@facesglobalsocialmedia1778]

I'm going to be honest. I'm Korean American. I had seen rude people in America and some good American people. So know the facts of reality. Come to America and stay for one month and you will see the reality than videos. I go to Korea every two months and I see no difference from Korea and America, or from any other countries.

[@jlastre]

I follow the YTer @3:56. I remember when that crap happened. She is Korean and it happened in Europe IIRC. That sort of stuff happens in the US too of course. She gets a lot of support in the comments. The ballpark @ 5:08 is Wrigley Field in Chicago where the Cubs play.

[@rodneygriffin7666]

Being kind to one another should not be considered a national thing, but a human thing. There are kind people all over the world. The USA has them too.

[@408janus]

Its funny because like half of these arent in the US

[@siep6922]

The train that gets tilted off the trapped person happened in Perth, Western Australia. I know cos I was there!

[@blueracer66]

I think you're a bit confused. Police Officer Celeste Ayala is from Argentina, not the US. 🙃

[@livinginparallel]

The quality of ppl in America has as much range as our vocals🙏😉

[@DonnaMcCoy-h3d]

If we were all born the same it would be so boring, I like that where you're different and we can learn about each other

[@ca.lunaaa]

FYI the police officer feeding the baby in the thumbnail is actually from Colombia.

[@mij9520]

A I would love to see a segment on Acts of Kindness in Korea!

[@patrioticz2858]

There is a guy that give money like $100 and touching inspirational notes to people, and many times they pass it on

[@angelthman1659]

We're all emotional wrecks, that's why we're so kind 😂

[@serxindipity._558]

Well I’ve actually done a ton of nice things for people. I go out of my way for them. I have the top three stories that actually make me feel extremely happy. 1. This old woman was trying to get some soda. Well the cans in those big boxes are actually really heavy. Well I was in a rush but I saw she was really struggling so I went and helped her get it into her cart. She tried paying me but I declined ofc 😂 2. I got absolutely soaked in the rain while helping put an old mans groceries in his truck. Well the back story on this is I was checking out my groceries and I saw some commotion. Well I went to see what was going on and there was this old man getting drenched in the pouring rain. I stopped what I was doing, walked out there, and I told him to hurry and get in the truck, that I’d put all his groceries in it and take his cart back. Turns out he was a veteran and his leg had been cut off due to his injuries in a war. 3. This homeless man was on the side of the road begging for money or honestly anything such as food, water, money, blankets, etc. well I stopped and asked him what all he needed. He said he didn’t want much but I mean, he most likely did. So I stopped at the store and bought him all sorts of food, drinks, toiletries, dog toys, dog food, and dog treats (he mentioned he had a couple dogs). I’ve done this for quite a few people actually. Even for some poor immigrant family. I jus would hate to go through that so I try to help as much as possible. Anyways jus a reminder to always be kind because it pays back some day 💕

I think you need rename the thumbnail.. half of these aren’t the U S .. signed a U S citizen
