1. Choose two specific expectations (e.g emotional support, honesty, sexual exclusivity, shared responsibilities, etc) and analyse how these expectations can influence the dynamics of a relationship.

The emotional support can influence the dynamics of a relationship by reinforcing one another's emotions, partners create a nurturing atmosphere that builds resilience and strengthens their bond.

Honesty can influence the dynamics of a relationship by allowing couples to build trust by fostering an environment for partners to express their needs and be their whole selves with their partners.

What 2 things help you reset? Explain why they work for you, for example: music, walking, journaling

2 things that help me reset are playing games and playing soccer with my friends. Playing games with my friends helps me relieve stress and fatigue in my life. Playing soccer with my friends is fun, healthy and helps me relax in a healthy way.

2 people you trust to talk to? Explain why?

2 people you trust to talk to are my friends at school, their names are Harry and Hoan. I often go to play soccer with my friends, and sometimes we also talk and share our joys and sorrows in this life.

Create a phrase that you will use to protect your energy, for example: "Today I need space"

It's okay to take some time for myself and do what I love.

1. How does the film address the issue of consent and the importance of obtaining clear and enthusiastic consent in intimate situations?

The film stresses that positive, explicit consent must be given before any intimacy occurs. The film depicts consent situations which could be ambiguous or unfortunate in their essence, just to stress the importance of mutual agreement and understanding. In cases where abuses of power emerging from the absence of consent are portrayed, the picture proclaims that consensual interaction should at least be respectful and within the bounds of law.

2. How does the film challenge societal attitudes towards victim-blaming and the way survivors of sexual assault are shown in the media as ‘having done something to deserve it’?

Ideally, it stands against victim blaming, as this is very common. The setup, in which the victims of sexual assaults become accused and condemned for the acts committed by others, opposes this almost-too-familiar-yet-harmful scenario and leads toward an empathetic understanding. This very attitude toward victims and its consequences are spelled out as horrifying by the film, which ultimately calls for society's shift in perspective and support for these victims.

3. Discuss the role of alcohol and intoxication in the film's narrative, and how it intersects with discussions of consent and vulnerability.

The film uses intoxication as a plot device to tackle consent and vulnerability. It is in the portrayal of intoxication that a much more disturbing thought is driven home-that such circumstances can be taken advantage of, with very serious ethical and moral implications.

4. Thinking about the beginning of the clip, what message does the film convey about the importance of bystander intervention in situations of potential harm or danger?

An immensely powerful message about a secondary observer's intervention might, for any subject, exert upon the subject a serious moral demand to act once he observes something and views it as threatening or harmful. There, the viewers are in trouble for the failure to act. The film asks whether the viewers would stand aside and let things happen, or would they try to protect the vulnerable.

1. Why do people use social media?

Because it allows people to access global information and connect with friends and family at a distance.

1. Is there pressure on young people to be active on social media?

Increased feelings of depression, anxiety, poor body image, and loneliness.

2. Do you think the image people project through social media is an accurate representation of themselves/ their lives?

No, because research has shown that most self-expression on social media platforms is often idealized, exaggerated, and unrealistic.

Myth: Drinking Coffee Sobers You Up: Coffee might make you feel more alert, but it doesn't reduce blood alcohol levels.

Myth: You Can Sober Up Quickly with a Cold Shower: Cold showers do not speed up the process of becoming sober.

Myth: Mixing Different Types of Alcohol Makes You More Drunk: The amount of alcohol consumed affects intoxication, not the type.

Myth: You Can’t Get Addicted to Marijuana: While less addictive than some substances, marijuana can still lead to dependency for some users.
