Suggest an effective platform that you can utilize? yoonghou https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1915110543 2021-11-27 04:33:43 UTC https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1915110543 heshni07 https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1920111716 We are so fortunate that in this 21st century, there is various way to communicate despite in the movie where it only has several ways and barriers of communicating. Hence, Trevor finds it difficult to expose his project which is expanding the 'Pay It Forward' concept.  I would say an effective platform that we can utilize to convey an important message is through Multimedia Platforms and Social media. This is because multimedia is a combination of different content forms such as text, audio, images, animations, video, and interactive content. Moreover, multimedia can be recorded and played, displayed, interacted with, or accessed by information content processing devices, such as computerized and electronic devices. Multimedia platforms are the spaces that you can use to make, share, or view this content. For example, if Trevor would have the chance to have these privileges, he could have done Blogs or podcasts to expose his ideas or project and also a tool to communicate with others. He could have utilized these platforms to convey the concept of `Pay It Forward'.]]> 2021-11-30 11:07:05 UTC https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1920111716 1) Everyone can change the world. yoonghou https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928392105 In this movie, Trevor initiates the ‘pay it forward’ good deed for his social science project. The idea of initiating this project is with just a sole purpose, which is to change the world to a better place. A solo effort might not be possible to achieve this great ambition, it needs every single person in this universe to be involved and contribute to it to form a chain and pass the good deed to another. ]]> 2021-12-04 02:50:39 UTC https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928392105 2) ‘Change the world to a better place’ need a great effort, but it is not impossible to be achieved. yoonghou https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928392856 As shown in the movie, Trevor was disappointed, and he feel that his project will not be a success. However, on the other hand, the ending scene proved Trevor’s project was a success. After knowing Trevor was passed away, thousands of people, including students from Trevor's school, who have participated in or heard of the "pay it forward" movement by gathering in a vigil to honor him, this proved that the good deed has spread across the country. Trevor's project is a big success and thousands of people benefited from it.]]> 2021-12-04 02:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928392856 3) We cannot despise anyone and need to respect everyone disregards his status. yoonghou https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928393333 Respect means that you accept somebody for who they are, even when they’re different from you. This can be seen when Trevor approaches the homeless person, Jerry, and bring him home and provide him food and a shelter to sleep in. There are many examples that can be seen along the ‘pay forward’ chain. For example, Trevor’s grandma performs her good deed even to a robber and the robber then saves an asthmatic girl's life in a hospital. Respect doesn’t have to come naturally – it is something you learn.]]> 2021-12-04 02:52:20 UTC https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928393333 4) Caring for each other is important. yoonghou https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928393633 It gives us greater meaning and purpose to our lives, helping us to refocus on the more important things in life – our relationships with the people we care about or even with a stranger. A good example can be seen in the movie is there are two people, an injured man and a girl who is having an asthma attack that does not know each other, but the kindness showed by the man who allows the girl to have the treatment save the girl life. Caring for others helps to develop empathy and the ability to connect with people, even in difficult times. ]]> 2021-12-04 02:52:46 UTC https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928393633 5) We need to realize our own problem and make the necessary changes. yoonghou https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928393895 The scene when after Trevor’s mother has a quarrel with Trevor, she went to the kitchen and picks up the alcohol, but she is stunned and stopped as she starts to realize her alcoholic problem and she takes up the courage to accept it and get rid of it. This proves that only we can help our own self, if we do not accept our problem and tend to ignore it, we will not be able to jump off from our plight. ]]> 2021-12-04 02:53:10 UTC https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928393895 6) We should not have a low self-esteem. yoonghou https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928394138 In the movie, we can see that Eugene is having low self-esteem because of the deep burn marks visible on his neck and face, he tends to feel insecurity especially after entering a relationship with Trevor’s mother. However, in truth, Trevor’s mother does not place any concern on it as she knows that everyone has their weakness. Eugene should accept his imperfection and build a positive relationship with Trevor’s mother. ]]> 2021-12-04 02:53:31 UTC https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928394138 7) Effects of domestic violence and alcoholism to society. yoonghou https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928394942 In the movie, we can there are many cases of alcoholism and domestic violence happened in the movie. For instance, Trevor’s father abuse Trevor’s mother and both are alcoholism, and this brings Trevor to be situated in an unpleasant childhood. Besides, even Trevor’s grandmother also has an alcoholism problem and subsequently affects Trevor’s mother negatively. For Eugene, he suffered from domestic violence problems in his family, and it has brought him the permanent burn mark on his neck and face. All this has brought a lot of social problems not even in the movie but also in the real life.  ]]> 2021-12-04 02:54:39 UTC https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928394942 yoonghou https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928443087 2021-12-04 04:02:40 UTC https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928443087 yoonghou https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928443249 2021-12-04 04:02:59 UTC https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928443249 yoonghou https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928448020 The reason why I would focus on women's empowerment is that we can see the status of women in some countries or some rural areas is still low although in the 21st century. Thus, I wish we could one day achieve real gender equality in the whole world. ]]> 2021-12-04 04:11:11 UTC https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928448020 yoonghou https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928448760 As we can see in the movie, homelessness is also a problem to the community in reality. We can still see homeless people who lived on the street. Hence, the homelessness prevention project would focus on providing facilities and services such as food and laundry service for those in need. Besides that, this project also would help low-income or no-income families to gain access to public funding so that they can live better. ]]> 2021-12-04 04:12:29 UTC https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928448760 yoonghou https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928449671 While for domestic violence, we can see it usually happens to women and children because both of these categories of individuals do not have enough ability to resist the violence. Therefore, the domestic violence community project is aimed to provide psychological and physical support for the victims. We would offer a safe place for them to live and give them some legal advice to act against the abuser. ]]> 2021-12-04 04:14:06 UTC https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928449671 1) A person should volunteer to help others. yoonghou https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928452794 Based on the question above, the only way I could change the world is by changing myself. According to Mahatma Gandhi, as a man changes his nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. We don’t need to see what others do. Yes, this is true because transformation begins with us. When we behave with intention, compassion, and affection, every one of us can make the world a better place. Every day, we have the chance to make a difference in the world and inspire others to do the same. 

There are three ways to change the world into a better place. Firstly, a person should volunteer to help others. Volunteering assists groups, corporations, and local governments save money and assigning funds to other community-building and strengthening programs. This can create a change in someone's life by volunteering and donating to society. Serving others offers someone a sense of success and purpose while teaching a new skill and introducing them to new people. Furthermore, helping others in need changes their view of their circumstances and makes them more thankful for whatever they have. Regardless of ability or availability, there are volunteer opportunities for everyone. Find a cause that you care about and look into how you can help. Begin by spending one to two hours per month participating in a cleanup day, which is a great opportunity to contribute to the preservation of Mother Nature.

To begin with, one of the changes I made that I am still pleased with is having a bag in my vehicle so that I can dump trash in it and dispose of it properly later. This act of mine has influenced my family members to not toss trash outside the car while it is moving, which is a nuisance for both drivers and local communities.

Moreover, I have also changed the way I see things. Hence, not being kind to our loved ones only but showing kindness to others matters too. Through, Trevor's way of thinking, when we show kindness to others genuinely, this action will be passed on and eventually will be expanding. This is just like the concept of his project. For example, in my own life, I practice this by helping my friends to clear doubts regarding assignments and tasks given by lecturers. By this, it is also evident that they also try to help me back in the assignments to show their gratitude. ]]> 2021-12-04 04:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928455958 1) Foo Yoong Hou (273955) yoonghou https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928460728 2021-12-04 04:32:27 UTC https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928460728 2.

It is to enhance financial awareness and help residents get out of debt. We can put the money into programs that provide information and services, ranging from simple talks and papers explaining how to pay off their debts faster especially for the youth generation. In addition, we will be helping those citizens by providing them money in form of subsidies to buy land, establish enterprises, retirement savings, and support other essential local businesses and activities.]]> 2021-12-04 13:12:51 UTC https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928742688 yokepui1999 https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928742820 If all of these projects are successful in helping those in need, we would ask those who wanted to pay back for us to pay it forward as what the movie did so that more people can get help when needed and the world would get better. ]]> 2021-12-04 13:12:56 UTC https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928742820 yokepui1999 https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928744981 We need to empower youths with freedom of expression by organizing Youth Expression Program for young people to express themselves and empower them with the knowledge, skills, resources and defend their right to free expression. Learning, questioning, and developing critical thinking abilities will help young people to become more thoughtful and knowledgeable people. If we attempt to silence young people's voices and protect them from controversial, or “inappropriate” information such as politics, we are denying the freedom of young people to create and explore the world which will affect the country’s growth and aspiration. Young people have the right to engage in every conversation especially locally to listen to their needs because young people are the future.]]> 2021-12-04 13:16:23 UTC https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1928744981 2) A person should be kind and compassionate to others. monisha7899 https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1931742515 Secondly, a person should be kind and compassionate to others. The Pay It Forward movie, highlights that we should go out of our way to help others and that when someone does something for us, we should reciprocate and give back even more. It also recognizes that individuals may make a difference in other people's lives. Besides, this pay-it-forward philosophy teaches us that we can make a difference in other people's lives and celebrates random acts of kindness. It teaches us that when someone is kind to us, we should return to humanity by doing good things for others numerous times more. Every act you do in your daily life impacts the people with whom you engage. It also has an impact on your mental and physical health. Kindness and compassion make people happy and help them live longer. Doing something pleasant for someone else can help relieve tension, sadness, and anxiety and improve overall well-being. It also alters our perceptions of ourselves and others. Humans are hardwired to be selfless and connect with others, and doing good makes us happy. This sense of mental and physical well-being pervades all parts of our existence. Being kind and doing good things, others are more likely to be kind after experiencing or witnessing kindness. We can help others by writing a nice review of an excellent business to brighten someone's day. Local entrepreneurs may require all of the assistance they can obtain. If you come across a company whose owner does an outstanding job, it's time to spread the news. Besides, when someone requests assistance, say "yes." If someone requests assistance, see if we can assist in any manner. We may not always address the problem, but we can always contribute to mitigating its consequences. Assist someone in improving their life. It's all about knowing when it comes to making positive changes in our life. If you've been through a difficult situation and discovered some clever hacks that helped you get through it, try sharing them with others. Our suggestions could also substantially assist them in overcoming their issues.

An individual has to reduce your environmental impact by being aware of how you're affecting it. Every small bit of effort makes a difference. Here are some easy strategies to lessen the environmental footprints such as cleaning up the trash in your neighborhood, recycling, keeping an eye on what you pour down your drains and what we use on our lawns, and reducing the driving time by walking, biking, or taking public transportation.]]> 2021-12-06 17:40:57 UTC https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1931743916 CONCLUSION monisha7899 https://padlet.com/yoonghou/pwc5jgcnuogk40di/wish/1931745684 Finally, it all comes down to having faith in one's own talents. We can have the essential talents and talent, but without self-confidence, we won't be able to trust ourselves to use them. This is why some people have tremendous skills but are ineffective leaders. Self-confidence is one of the attributes of a successful leader. A charismatic personality and an expressive and confident speaker characterize a leader. All these qualities are tied with having the self-confidence to impress people and convince them to follow the leader.
