We are what we do...

We Are What We Do is a new kind of movement inspiring people to change the world one small action at a time.( Developed by Eugene Harvey and supported by the Joffe Charitable trust.)

Our philosophy is simple:
small actions x lots of people = big change

We have the 130 small things that you can do to change really big things

I found out about this website when I was given one of their ir books

" Change the world for a fiver''. Features 50 simple actions to change the world and make you feel good.

"It is an ingeniously executed book aimed at galvanising alienated Britons to do something for a society devoid of fellow feeling and good neighbourliness." - The Guardian

"The book's themes and ethos really appealed to me," says Pauline Ireland, a drama teacher and citizenship co-ordinator at the Thomas Lord Audley School in Colchester, Essex. "They are things that young people ought to know, such as manners and helping others, but schools don't have the time to teach." - The Daily Telegraph.

The way the book stressing or gives examples of each point are unique and quirky.

The book they range from hand drawn illustration to photographs, it using ambient media to stress certain subjects. Its as if every page has a different concept, there are tearaway pages and products that you can use in the book so it interacts with the reader. It was designed by Antidote with a creative team of 9 people each creative individual that contributed to the book has done for free ( which reinforces the whole concept of ' "we are what we do'".)

If you can get your hands on this book I would strong recommended using it. I has some insignificant tasks in your day, but with some of these smalls actions your could make someone else day that much better.

Here's a couple of examples:

* recycle your mobile phone

*send time with someone from a different generation..

* Pay more when you buy a charity shops.

* take time to listen (combating derpression)

Take a look at the website:

Nick Griffin BNP

When I first saw the video of Nick griffin being pelted with eggs (considering I didn't really know who he was), I was quite shocked that someone could do that on public TV and that the woman who did it didn’t get caught for another 3 days. Technically she was committing a crime.

I've recently seen the video of Nick Griffin saying, " I didn't say anyone should be murdered at sea - I say boats should be sunk, they can throw them a life raft and they can go back to Libya."
This shocked me even more (this isn't a rant about my political views by the way). It’s the fact that the political leader for BNP has the guts to say something like that. This Automatically made me feel angry.

The reason I'm writing about this is that it is interesting for me, considering that I don't follow politics how the media has influenced my emotions to feel slightly sorry for an MP when eggs are pelted at them, then suddenly realising his views made me feel disgust and anger.
In my eyes I feel that the media can influence the public in any which way they please.

Shawshank Redemption

Lincoln Cathedral

Above is an image I took of the outside of the Lincoln Cathedral so you can grasp an understanding of the sheer size of the building as it towers over you. The cathedral is the heart of the town and towers over the quaint city.
Part of the Movie 'The Da Vinci codes was also filmed in the cathedral.

When you walk into the main building its quite hard to embrace it. The ceiling towers over you, the colour shines through the main glass window at the back of the building it is definitely the focal point and the first thing that hits you when you walk in.
It's amazing the feeling you get when you walk into the Cathedral.
The exterior and interior are very Gothic this is why I decided to convert the image to monochrome , even though it is a place of worship if feel it has quite a dark and eerie feel about it and would like to experience it in the evening.

Below I inserted am image if took of the interior that is converted to monchrome so that you can see how the the high ceilings hit you.

Come on Train

By Saatchi & Saatchi.

What an intelligent piece of communication, there's not much else I could say .
The advert is so clever, its entices the audience with an up beat feel, bringing out a childish side.
Unfortunately chatting to a few friends, they say they hate it, as it doesn't make sense,why would he be on crutches in the first place? Personally that's the reason I like it, as it's so random.
The music's accompaniment goes perfectly with the flow of the advert, it's the type of tune that when you here it you just want to hum along. My initial reaction was that I really want to give it a go.
I wish I had such genius!
