From Science Daily Online we want to try to spread some good vibes to our readers, gathering a collection of acts inspired by goodness that will make you feel a little better about the world.
1.Jonas Salk
He is the so-called "Father of Biophilosophy." I invent the Polio vaccine , one of the first effective vaccines for immunization against a virus in general.It was essential in the global polio eradication campaign, which was at the time one of the deadliest diseases , especially in children.
But Salk refused to patent it to continue having affordable costs.Basically I give up about 7 million dollars , in exchange for saving as many lives as possible.When asked in an interview who had the patent for the vaccine, Salk replied: "There is no patent.Can you patent the sun?"
2.Albert Battel
He was an official of the Nazi party who opposed the extermination of the Jewish population of Przemyśl.In July 1942, Przemyśl Jews were to be transferred to the Bełżec death camp.
Battel went to the ghetto with trucks and armed soldiers and threatened to enter blood and fire, if the guards they don't allow him to enter. Battel managed to get 240 Jews who worked in the ghetto factory and put them under cover by hiding them in the basement of the headquarters.
3.Robert Cook
With 21 years of age, Kimberly Dear boarded a plane with the young skydiving instructor 22 years , Robert Cook, to make his first jump. The plane's engine failed, and it began to fall down.
Cook ordered his student to sit on his lap, hook his harness to his and hugging her received the worst part of the impact .He failed to survive the accident, but saved Kimberly's life.Before that day, none of them had seen each other before .
4.Unknown Chinese protester
This became the symbol of a generation , but little is known about the faceless man who dared to face the tanks of the People's Liberation Army, the June 5, 1980, in Tiananmen Square.
An unarmed man with a white shirt blocked the path of a tank and continuously obstructed his attempts to maneuver.Finally, some spectators took the student out of the square, and he was lost in the crowd.But the image of his bravery is portrayed forever.
5.Somaly Man
Somaly Man is one of thousands of people, in fact, millions of women who have been victims of the human trafficking industry. Enslaved at the age of 14, she was sold continuously to brothels and forced into an unwanted marriage.
Incredibly, the cruelty and unimaginable suffering experienced, didn't break her spirit and she finally escaped to France, where she founded Somaly Mam , an organization to help women and children victims of trafficking in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam.She personally visits every person who has been rescued through her foundation.
In the world good people remain! When everything seems terrible to you, try to remember that it is we who build the world we live in.
Do not miss this test to find out if you have a hero's heart!
