October is breast cancer awareness month. Many members on my cross country team bought pink strips to place in their hair to raise awareness. Others, like myself, straight up dyed part of their hair. This is an example of direct action strategy. I am doing my part in raising awareness of an issue.
I would also clasify myself as a community builder and a socially responsible daily behavior. I am a community builder, because I participate in things such as helping businesses clean up after the flood of 2008 (I'm not quite sure if that is the correct year). I carried a bunch of gymanstic equipment out of the water at Chow's Gymnastics and placed them up high. Then, I helped sandbag and remove water.I am socially responsible, because I recycle and reuse things as well as donate to some causes.
Many times, people fit into a couple of different categories. it would be uncommon if someone only fit into ONE category. The other categories include; direct service, community/economic development, voting/formal political activities, grass-roots, and advocacy through community education.
That's awesome -- of course with your nice blond hair dying it is not too much of a stretch. Those with darker hair might find that more difficult.
