PTW MODULE 1 WATCH, THINK, WRITE

1. Differentiate the choices of the main character in the Choice A (on the left-hand
side of the film) and Choice B (on the right-hand side of the film)?
The choices of the main character A were sedentary or unhealthy with regards to
his physical, mental and social health. His diet consists of processed foods and
drinks, chooses to be a couch potato instead of executing more productive
activities, feeds his mind negative energy, neglects his work, expends most of his
free time sitting in front of his desktop, and getting drunk with friends. Whereas,
the choices of the main character B were quite invigorating or healthy overall. He
is influenced with good nutrition and self awareness as he feeds his mind with
interesting knowledge, being productive both at work and home, exercises
physical fitness in his free time, spends most of his time doing interesting things,
yet he can manage to balance his social life without overconsumption of alcohol
and social time.
2. What is the long-term effect of Choice A and Choice B?
Choice A is the epitome of a sedentary, and an overindulging lifestyle. The long
term-effects of this lifestyle, as seen in the video are obesity, becoming
unhygienic, decrease in productivity, becoming a liability at work, and chronic
illnesses that affect the major organs of the body due to his physical inactivity,
consumption of processed foods, and alcohol. This lifestyle also affected his
mental health in a bad way, as he was constantly surrounded by a negative
environment. On the other hand, choice B is the epitome of a healthy, and
balanced lifestyle. The long term effects of his lifestyle, as seen in the video are
mental satisfaction due to his productivity and determination, and reducing the
risk of developing chronic illnesses due to regular exercise and good diet.
Developing a muscular body and having achievements were a bonus for his
lifestyle.
3. If you are the main character in the short film, what will be your choice?
As a young adult, self-esteem is one of the important things that I value in my life.
Hence, I will definitely choose to be the choice B in the short film. A healthy
lifestyle is necessary to have a good mental state, which will help me in feeling
good about myself and my self-image. As a student, it will be helpful in managing
my time better, reducing my stress and protecting myself better from binge-
eating. As a future physical therapist, this choice will help me to reduce my risks
of developing illnesses that will hinder me from practicing my profession.
