Anthony Padilla’s Questions:

From the YouTube Video, “I spent a day with people

with SCHITZOPHRENIA.”
https://youtu.be/K8mpJuB4RDs
 “Are there any terms that are generally
found to be offensive in relation to
Schizophrenia?”
This was one of the first questions that Anthony
asked which was extremely effective in establishing
the boundaries, such as the language that the
interviewee was comfortable with and therefore how
Anthony and the viewers should address someone
with Schizophrenia.”
 “I remember back at elementary school
people would throw out the word Schitzo like
it was nothing.
Anthony is relating to his own personal experience
to ask questions, which shows his interest and
desire to be respectful as well as helping his viewers
to be. However, Anthony did say a potentially
derogatory term which as an interviewer he should
be careful about using and perhaps ask before hand
if there are any particular words that he shouldn’t
use despite the best intentions.
 “Do you ever feel like people underestimate
what you are capable of because of your
disorder.”
This is an open question which humanises the
person by asking how they “feel.”

 “How do you wish society would perceive

and treat people with Schizophrenia.”
This is a positive question which inspires change
and addresses the stigma around schizophrenia
because of the judgement and attitude of others.

 “I think that’s really strong of you to say that

and talk about how mental health needs to
be addressed more and how we shouldn’t
shun people for expressing a cry for help
and we shouldn’t push people away when
really people like you when you’re
experiencing these things just want to be
listened to and understood.”
Here Anthony is assuring that he understands
and complimenting the interviewee for their
bravery.
 Thank you so much Cecilia I feel like I
understand the world of Schizophrenia that
little bit more.”
When Anthony Padilla says this at the end of
the interview it confirms that he has good
intentions as an interviewer to educate himself
and others about a particular issue and not
just for his own benefit like increasing his fan
base and views, to further his own career.

There is mutual benefit for the interviewer and

interviewee which I learnt about in the
previous project “Project 3” by the playwright
Alecky Blythe.
Shown by this quote at the end of the Anthony
Padilla interview by the person who was being
interviewed.
 “Thank you so much for giving a voice for
our community.”
In partaking in the interview the person can help to
spread awareness for a condition that they have, in
order to help others in a similar situation.
