The ripple effect of positivity

The ripple effect of positivity is not a new concept, the specific phrasing is a new phrase. The idea of a "ripple effect" has been widely discussed in various fields such as psychology, sociology, and even physics (where it refers to the spreading out of waves from a central point).

In the context of positivity, the ripple effect refers to how small acts of kindness, optimism, or gratitude can spread and inspire others. It's closely tied to the idea of "paying it forward" or the butterfly effect, which suggests that even small actions can have far-reaching consequences.

The phrase "ripple effect of positivity" draws upon common ideas in the domains of emotional and social contagion, where positive emotions or behaviors can spread similarly to how a ripple spreads in water
After reading the section "The Ripple Effect of Positivity, in the book, Endless Thanks," the team was inspired to show others how to implement the power of gratitude in their daily lives.

HIM effect

When you start listening to a band or artist you never listened to before (or even heard of) because you met someone who listens to them and got a crush on them. Named after the finnish gothic rock band HIM. It started from when people would meet Diksi or Joca, then they'd get a crush on one of them and start listening to their favourite band HIM.
A: And then she said bye back and I put on my headphones and listened to Curta'n wall. Ohhh man.
B: Since when did you start listening to Curta'n wall?!?!
A: Since forever duhhh
B: Shut up dude, you've been listening to them ever since you met Jane.
A: Aw man, it's the HIM effect once again...

In the book Mockingjay, from The Hunger Games Trilogy, the death of the character Finnick Odair shows The Hunger Games Effect in full force, where he dies so suddenly, it’s almost comical.
