SOCIETY

1. Do you agree that donating money is the best way to help

the poor?
- I don't agree with that. In my opinion, donating money is just one of
the ways to help the poor.
+ If you offer to give money directly to someone in need, you can
ascertain /ӕsəˈtein/ whether your money is being used properly.
On the other hand, if you donate to larger charitable organizations,
you are not sure how much will be given to those in need as
opposed going on other costs such as administration and expensive
marketing campaigns.
+ I think some people don't have much money to help the poor, so
they can support people in difficult circumstances in other ways
with what they have. When you help others, not only use money,
but also provide personal items such as blankets, clothes, food, or
school supplies such as books and notebooks, and so on.
2. Talk about a voluntary activity you have participated in.
What are the benefits and challenges associated with
volunteering?
- During the green summer of my university, I participated in teaching
English to children. I had an opportunity to meet and help children to
help them improve their English skills. Even though I only had four
days to do it, I felt it was the most useful experience for me this
summer. When I do this, I can improve my communication and
teaching skills. I also felt more confident when speaking in front of
the crowd. On the other hand, the biggest difficulty that I faced was
the distance from District 9 to District 7 for teaching, which was very
long and often stuck in traffic. This makes me take a lot of time to get
around.
 3. What is happiness? What do you think about the quote -
"Nothing can bring you happiness but yourself."?
- Happiness is something that people seek to find, yet what defines
happiness can vary from one person to the next. Typically, happiness
is an emotional state characterized by feelings of joy, satisfaction,
contentment, and fulfillment. While happiness has many different
definitions, it is often described as involving positive emotions and
life satisfaction.
- I think it's a good quote because happiness always lies in the moments
that we have experienced. Times of happiness can be different, but
always have yourself there. This means that we are the key to
unlocking all doors of happiness.
4. Talk about the time you feel happiest? What message does
this moment imply?
- Until now, I don't know what the best moment was I've ever had.
because I think every moment I have is meaningful to me. It gives me
valuable lessons, helping me to improve myself more and more. So, I
cherish all the moments that I have.
5. What charities do people support where you live?
- In my living, people usually organize to donate money, food, personal
belongings to poor or homeless people. That can assist them in
misfortune. Or they open free classrooms to teach poor children who
must give up their studies because they don’t have enough money to
go to school.
- In my university, students also usually hold some activities to support
poor people or children who have a difficult situation. For example,
this summer, they organized “Green Summer”. In that activity,
 students had opportunities to take part in to fix the poor’ s houses,
decorate public structures, teach English for children.
6. What type of charities do you think people should
support?
- I think each charity has a different role to play. Therefore, I don't
think it is necessary to think that you have to choose to support
which charities. On the other hand, you should select which
charity you might donate to. It depends on your ability and your
purpose.
7. How can doing community service help you achieve your
future goals?
- I believe that doing volunteer work in my community can benefit me
by making my skills and experiences better. By getting involved in
service, I can learn important qualities like being the leader skills,
team working, and solving problems, which are highly valued in
different jobs.
- Moreover, doing community service gives me chances to meet and
connect with people. I can meet experts and mentors who can give me
advice and help me find possible career opportunities.
8. How can you balance charity work and study?
- Students can balance these things by making yourself a timetable and
sticking to it.
- You should maintain your health by getting enough sleep
and eating properly.
- Don’t be afraid to say “no” when you have to. Don’t EVER say you’ll
do something and then don’t. If you can’t do something, say so up
front.
- Remember - no matter what you want to do as a career - that school
is your primary job.

9. Have you ever given money to a charity or worked with a

charity? Did you enjoy it? Why or why not?
- Yes, I have donated money to a charity in the past. I believe in
supporting causes that help people in need and make a positive
impact on society. It feels rewarding to contribute to charities and be
part of making a difference in the lives of others.
- Yes, I did enjoy donating to a charity. Because it made me feel good
knowing that I was able to help someone in need. Seeing the positive
impact that my contribution could have on others gave me a sense of
satisfaction and happiness.
10. Do you believe money can buy happiness for people? Why/
Why not?
- When you have money, you don't need to focus as much attention on
acquiring it to meet your basic needs.
- Money can buy valuable experiences.
- When you have enough to support yourself, you're probably not
thinking about giving back to others.

11. What are some potential barriers or challenges that

individuals and communities may face when engaging in
community service, and how can they be overcome?
- Lack of trust. Engagement and trust go hand in hand - one simply
cannot exist without the other. Because of this, one huge barrier to
successful community engagement can be a lack of trust between the
citizens and those running the project. To break down this barrier,
 you need to clearly show how much you value the input of the
community by having an open dialogue with everyone involved.
- Lack of budget or resources for community engagement efforts. For
example, You need to have expenses to be able to pay for the
transportation of items, the team's movement. To avoid that, you need
to carefully inform the volunteers in advance, create a specific and
detailed plan to convince the sponsors to agree to support that
volunteer plan.
12. How can community service be integrated into educational
institutions to foster a sense of social responsibility among
students?
- In my opinion, we need to integrate voluntary activities like
supporting people with difficulties in parallel with teaching and
learning.For example…. Furthermore, students can act out plays and
do exercises on volunteer activities so that they can learn and
approach those activities independently.
13. How can technology and online platforms be utilized to
facilitate and enhance community service efforts?
- We can use social networking platforms to convey meaningful
actions to the community. Now, the use of online payment accounts
has become very popular. We can see QR codes in many places, such
as restaurants, schools, and hospitals. For example, now that our
school has received tuition payments via bank transfer, there is no
need to bring a large amount of money to the place of payment. This
will help us save time and avoid being robbed.
14. How does community service benefit both individuals and
the overall community?
- Volunteering is a fun and easy way to explore your interests and
passions. Doing volunteer work, you find meaningful and interesting
can be a relaxing, energizing escape from your day-to-day routine of
 work, school, or family commitments. Volunteering also provides
you with renewed creativity, motivation, and vision that can carry
over into your personal and professional life.
- Volunteering increases your social and relationship skills.
- While some people are naturally outgoing, others are shy and have a
hard time meeting new people. Volunteering gives you the
opportunity to practice and develop your social skillhs, since you are
meeting regularly with a group of people with common interests.
Once you have momentum, it’s easier to branch out and make more
friends and contacts.
15. What are some examples of successful community service
projects or programs, and what lessons can be learned from
them?
- Volunteering in the summer like Green Summer. In this activity, I can
teach English, donate school supplies for children.
- As a volunteer, you never stop learning. Developing new skills,
discovering new passions, gaining new insights about yourself and
the world around you - volunteering covers it all. Volunteering can
mean learning about different communities, organizations, and fields,
as well as learning more about yourself.
16. How much money is enough? Why?
- Well, it’s hard to answer this question as there is no exact to say
whether money is enough or not. It’s up to the perspectives and goals
of different people. Some people want to earn more money so they
can save up but some just need a certain amount of money to sustain
their lives.
17. Why do people care too much about money?
- I think the reason is simply that money equals power. The more
money you have, the more things you can do, the more influence you
 have over people. No one refuses power so that’s why they give
priority to money.
18. Should philanthropists be more focused on addressing the
root causes of problems, or on providing immediate relief?
- Philanthropic focus should be on addressing the root causes and
creating sustainable solutions. For example, raising money to
provide food for a homeless shelter is an act of charity, while
building a home for the homeless to help people get out of that
situation is an example of philanthropy.

FOOD
1. Which do you waste the most? Why?
- I think it's rice. Sometimes I cook too much to eat it all, so it is often
left over. The rice couldn't be reheated many times, so I had to throw
it away.
2. Why do you think people, restaurants, and supermarkets waste
food?
- There are a few reasons why people, restaurants, and supermarkets
waste food. Firstly, people sometimes buy more food than they need,
resulting in excess leftovers that eventually go to waste. Secondly,
restaurants often prepare more food than necessary to meet customer
demands, leading to surplus food being discarded. Lastly,
supermarkets may throw away food that is close to its expiration date
to maintain freshness standards, even if it is still edible.
3. What do you think governments and individuals can do to
reduce food waste?
- Plan meals ahead of time – to only buy what you need.
- Use food storage – make use of your fridge to help food to last
longer.
- Turn leftovers into a new dish. For example, Koreans often mix all
the dishes they have with rice to eat
- Donate to food banks and shelters
- Government activities are important in creating change.
- Governments can make rules and laws to avoid food waste. These
laws may include setting goals, making food labels clearer, and
providing incentives for food donations.
- In addition, governments can fine for businesses that fail to manage
their food waste appropriately.
- Furthermore, governments can invest in improving the food systems.
Governments may provide funding for Research and Development
Department to support new innovations and practices that optimize
food storage, transportation, and processing, reducing spoilage and
waste along the supply chain.
4. Have you ever thrown food out? Why did you throw the food
out?
- Three months ago, I wasted rice by cooking too much of it for my
roommate and I to eat. I felt guilty about this, so I tried to cook only
enough for us to avoid wasting food.

5. What problems do you think wasting food can cause?

- Wasting food can cause several problems. Firstly, it contributes to
food scarcity as resources that could have been used to produce more
food are wasted. Secondly, it places a burden on the environment by
wasting resources like water, land, and energy that were used to
produce, transport, and package the food. Lastly, it wastes valuable
financial resources, as the money spent on purchasing the wasted
food goes down the drain.
 6. How could people try to solve those problems?
- People can take various steps to address the problems caused by
wasting food. Firstly, they can plan meals and make grocery lists to
avoid buying more food than necessary. Secondly, they can store and
preserve food properly to prevent spoilage and extend its shelf life.
Thirdly, donating excess food to food banks or charitable
organizations can help reduce hunger and support those in need.
7.
- Food waste leads to hunger problems and food insecurity. When
edible food is eliminated, it means there are fewer resources available
to those in need.
Food waste can contribute to social inequality. In many countries,
food waste occurs alongside food scarcity, leading to disparities in
access to nutritious food.
- Food waste represents a significant economic loss. Resources such as
labor, water, energy, and land are wasted in the production,
processing, and transportation of food that goes uneaten.
- Food waste drives up costs throughout the food supply chain,
affecting farmers, processors, retailers, and consumers. It leads to
higher prices for consumers and reduced profitability for businesses.
- Food waste depletes natural resources such as water, energy, and
land. It takes a significant number of resources to produce, process,
package, and transport food that is ultimately wasted.
- The production of food involves the use of land and water, which can
lead to habitat destruction and biodiversity loss. When food is wasted,
these resources are effectively wasted as well.
8. What are the primary causes of food waste in developed and
developing countries?
- Food waste is increasing in both developed and developing nations
for a variety of reasons.
 + One of them is a lack of adequate food management planning.
Individuals or consumers may buy more food than they need without
thinking how and when the food will be consumed.
+ Another important cause of food waste in developing countries is
food safety protocols. Food quality may suffer as a result of errors in
food safety measures in industrial food processing. And, in the end,
all of the bad food is thrown away. Overcooking, manufacturing
trials, packing problems, trial runs, and incorrect sizes and weights
can result in substandard food and, ultimately, food rejection.
9. What is brain food?
- Brain foods are foods that are good for our brains. It can help the
brain develop fully and function perfectly.
10. What are examples of brain food?
11. What are benefits of eating brain food?
- Brain foods are those that are rich in antioxidants, healthy fats,
vitamins and minerals. They provide your brain with energy and aid
in protecting brain cells, which helps ward off development of brain
diseases. For example, Avocados contain both vitamin K and folate,
avocados help prevent blood clots in the brain, as well as help
improve brain functions related to memory and concentration.
12. What differences do you see in yourself when you eat brain
food versus when you don't?
13. What impact do you think food has on intellect, mood and
appearance?
14. Is there any risk associated with overindulgence in brain food?
Give some examples.

What is something that is possible in the area of medicine that

was impossible ten years ago?
Ten years ago, I think it’s impossible to create a vaccine to treat
cancer. Recent advances in modern medical research have made it
possible to develop a vaccine targeting a specific type of cancer cell
and activate the immune system to fight against cancer cells. To
illustrate, after 30 years, researchers have developed a breast cancer
vaccine which has been proven effective. This breakthrough is the
first step in revolutionizing cancer treatment.

What is something you'd like to see happen someday in the field

of medicine?
Hm… one thing I would like to see happen in the future is the
development of cancer treatment. While there are many advances in
finding the ways to cure cancer, it still a long journey to go before
we can say that we have cured this devastating (tàn phá, hủy hoại)
disease.

Oh I would like to see the development of artificial organs that can

replace damaged or failing organs in patients. Although this
incredible technology is in its early days, scientist and researchers
have achieved many success in creating artificial organs for animals
such as kidneys or even hearts, i hope that we will see this soon and
will save thousands of people on over the world that are waiting for
organs transplant

What do you know about medicines that come from plants,

animals, and bacteria ?
That’s a very interesting question, let me see… medicine can come
from many resources, including: plants, animals and bacteria.

For example, you may be familiar with aloe vera that has been used
for centuries to treat burns and other skin conditions. The gel inside
it contain anti-inflammatory (kháng viêm) and antibacterial
properties, makin making it an effective treatment for minor burn
and skin irritation (kích ứng)

With animals, you know that snake venom is a toxic substance

produced by some certain snakes, but it also contains compounds
that can be used to make medicine. For instance: scientist used
venom of cone snail snake to make painkiller, other venom also can
be used in producing medicine

About bacteria, there are medicines that come from bacteria called
antibiotics. It is used to treat the infection caused by bacteria such
as strep throat. One example is penicillin, which is the first
antibiotic to be discovered and has saved countless of lives since its
introduction

Do you think it is important to study dirt and bacteria ?

Studying dirt and bacteria in medicine is important because:
Fighting Superbugs: Some bacteria become resistant to medicines,
making them harder to treat. Studying dirt and bacteria helps us
find new ways to fight these strong bacteria.

Finding New Medicines: Bacteria in dirt can make special

substances that can be used as medicines. By studying them, we can
discover new medicines to treat diseases like infections and cancer.

Understanding Our Health: Bacteria are important for our health.

By studying bacteria in our bodies and in dirt, we can learn more
about how they affect us and find ways to keep us healthy.
Preventing and Treating Infections: Some diseases are caused by
bacteria in the environment, like dirt. By studying these bacteria,
we can figure out how they spread and develop better ways to
prevent and treat infections.

If you were a scientist, what would you like to study ?

If I were a scientist, I would be interested in studying the effects of
climate change on the environment. With the Earth's climate
changing at a rapid pace, we are seeing the new harass types of
weather , rising sea levels, and increased frequency of natural
disasters. By studying these effects, we could learn more about how
climate change is impacting our planet and what we can do to
mitigate these effects. Additionally, I would be interested in
exploring ways to use renewable energy sources, such as solar and
wind power, to reduce our carbon footprint and slow the pace of
climate change. My goal would be to help protect our planet and
ensure that it remains a healthy and sustainable place for future
generations.

5. How is seeing a doctor online different from seeing a doctor

face-to-face ?

The first thing that makes seeing a doctor online or face-to-face is

how you meet him/her. When you see a doctor online, you can talk
to them through a computer or phone screen. In contrast, face-to-
face appointments require going to the clinic, it’s not convenient at
all, especially for patients that live far away and you have to take
turns with others to meet the doctor. With the internet, you don’t
have to travel and wait in a room.
The second is a physical examination. During in-person visit,
doctor can physically examine you by checking your body,
listening to your heart beat so t that they can rely on your
description of symptoms and visual observation to give their most
accurate diagnose

Last, online meetings don’t have Diagnostic Tools.so the doctor

relies on your description of symptoms and medical history. In-
person visits allow the doctor to use specialized tools like X-rays or
laboratory tests for diagnosis.

6. Would you feel more comfortable seeing a doctor face-to-

face or online ?

If I had to choose between face-to-face or online, I would feel more

comfortable with face-to-face appointments . While online visits
can be more convenient, I think it's important to meet with a doctor
for more direct communication and give the doctor a chance to
observe any physical symptoms that may not be visible through a
video call or messaging platform. However, I think online visits can
be a good option for follow-up appointments or for patients who are
busy or live far away from a doctor's office. The choice between
online and face-to-face visits depends on the individual's specific
needs and preferences.

My country faces challenges because they have limited resources,

infrastructure, and healthcare staff. This can affect the quality of
healthcare they can provide.
7. Is the medical care in your country good ? How often do you
get a checkup ?

I think the medical care in my country is generally good, but it can

vary depending on the region and the hospital. Some hospitals have
better resources and more experienced doctors, while others may
struggle with funding and staffing. Overall, though, I think most
people in my country can easily access basic medical care when
they need it.

As for how often I get a checkup, it really depends on my personal

health needs. If I'm feeling healthy and don't have any medical
issues, I may only go for a checkup once a year or every few years.
However, if my conditions are bad or have a specific health issue, I
may go for checkups more frequently. I think it's important to stay
on top of our health and get regular checkups, but it's also important
to balance that with our personal time and resources.

8. Would you ever consider going overseas for medical

treatment?

I wouldn’t consider going overseas for medical treatment because

my country already has good medical care with great facilities and
experienced doctors and staffing. However, I would consider if I
needed a medical treatment that wasn’t available in my country or
if I would explore other options. Furthermore, I am always worried
about the cost and quality in other countries and the travel abroad
procedure. So I would do some research and consult with a doctor
in my country before going for an overseas medical treatment. In
conclusion, my health needs are always on top of the list so if that
meant going overseas, I would be open to the other option.

9. What would concern you about receiving medical treatment

abroad?

If I had to receive medical treatment overseas, the first thing I

would have to worry about is the cost of traveling and
accommodation as the cost of living in developed countries is often
much higher than developing ones. The next thing I would have to
concern is the quality of healthcare and the unfamiliarity of the
medical systems of other countries. For example, I might be
worried about the qualification and experience of doctors and
nurses who would be treating me, or about the availability and
safety of the medical equipment and facilities. In addition, the
language barrier is also a thing that I am concerned about, it could
make it difficult to communicate effectively about my health
concerns and treatment options. Overall, I still want to make sure
that I'm comfortable with all the risks and challenges involved.

9. Do you think the medical tourism trend is a good thing?

why/why not?

I personally think the medical tourism trend is a good option

because this kind of tourism provides people with access to medical
procedures and treatment that may not be possible in their own
country. Or for those people who need their care at lower cost than
they would pay in their hometown. However, it’s important to
consider the potential risk as well as the qualities of care in
countries they’re planning to treat at.
10. Which do you think is higher: the number of visitors coming
to your country receive medical treatment, or the number of
people from your country going overseas for treatment? why?

I think the number of people from my country going overseas for

treatment is much higher because some people don’t trust the
quality of healthcare systems in my country or the medical systems
do not offer specialized treatments or procedures that can cure their
disease. Or they just simply go overseas for an affordable cost of
medical treatment as it’s too costly to take treatment at their home
country. Of course there are no specific datas or statistics of this
field so it’s difficult to determine which is higher

11. What’s an example of a medical procedure?

An example of medical procedure is organ transplant, which

involves the surgical transplantation of an organ of a patient to
other patients in order to replace damaged or failing organs. For
example, if someone has a failing heart, they may need to replace
their damaged heart with a healthy one. This method can save
countless lives over years and improve the quality of lives of those
in need.

12. Is it ever a good idea to divide the class according to

gender? If so, when?

I believe that it’s unnecessary to divide the class according to

gender thus it can promote discrimination and create needless
division. However , I think there are some certain situations where
dividing classes can be appropriate such as physical education
classes. It mạke sense to divide class by gender due to physical
abilities differences and to create a fair and comfortable
environment for students. Dividing class by gender is a sensitive
thing so it should be done for a clear a specific purpose without any
discriminations

13. Do you think it’s ok for someone to discuss their personal

health issues with strangers ?

I think it is a personal decision. Some are comfortable when sharing

their health issue information with others, while some prefer to
keep these information private. However, when sharing your health
issues, it can be both risky and beneficial. For example, discussing
personal information to strangers may help raise awareness about a
particular health condition or get support and encouragement from
them, in contrast, you may get unwanted advice and judgments. In
conclusion, the decision to discuss health problem with others
should be based on your own comfort level and specific
circumstances

14. What do you understand about medical tourism?

According to my knowledge, medical tourism is travel to other

countries to receive treatments or procedures. It has become
increasingly popular for people who seek to save their money or to
access specialized medical treatment that may not be available in
their country. For example, someone in the USA may travel to
India for brain operation because of its reasonable and affordable
cost.

15. What are the benefits of receiving medical treatments

abroad?

Receiving medical treatments abroad, or medical tourism, can offer

several potential benefits. One of the main benefits is cost savings,
as medical treatments may be less expensive in other countries. For
example, someone from the United States may travel to Mexico for
dental work, as the cost of the procedure is often much lower in
Mexico. Additionally, medical tourism can provide access to
specialized treatments or procedures that may not be available in
one's home country. For example, someone with a rare medical
condition may travel to a specialized clinic in another country for
treatment. However, it is important to carefully consider the
potential risks and drawbacks of medical tourism, such as language
barriers, cultural differences, and quality of care, before making a
decision. It is also important to research and choose reputable
healthcare providers that can provide safe and effective medical
care.

16. What can be the risks associated with receiving medical

treatments abroad ?

The risks of receiving medical treatment abroad could be the barrier

of language and culture, which could lead to misunderstandings or
miscommunications with healthcare providers. Additionally,
cultural differences in healthcare practices and approaches to
treatment could pose a risk to medical tourists who may not be
familiar with the local healthcare system. It is important to carefully
consider these potential risks before deciding to pursue medical
treatment abroad and to take steps to minimize them.

17. How do cultural and language differences impact the

experience and outcomes of medical tourism for patients?

Cultural and language differences can have a significant impact on

the experience and outcomes of medical tourism for patients. For
example, patients may struggle to effectively communicate with
healthcare providers if there is a language barrier, which could lead
to misunderstandings about the recommended treatment.
Additionally, cultural differences in healthcare practices and
approaches to treatment may differ from those in the patient's home
country, which could lead to confusion. Patients may also feel more
comfortable seeking medical treatment in a country where they are
familiar with the language and cultural norms.

18. How does the use of telemedicine and online consultations

impact the overall quality of healthcare services and patient’s
outcomes?

The use of telemedicine and online consultations has the potential

to positively impact the overall quality of healthcare services and
patient outcomes. For example, these technologies can allow
patients to receive more optional services, regardless of their
geographic location. Telemedicine and online consultations can
also help to reduce barriers to care, such as transportation, which
could lead to better health outcomes. Additionally, telemedicine can
help to increase access to care for individuals who may not have
 access to a physical healthcare facility, such as those living in rural
or remote areas.

19. What are the concerns about online medical consultation?

There are several concerns about online medical consultation

/ˌkɑːn.sʌlˈteɪ.ʃən/. One of the main concerns is the potential for
misdiagnosis /ˌmɪs.daɪ.əɡˈnoʊ.sɪs/ due to the lack of a physical
examination. Without a physical examination, healthcare providers
may not be able to assess a patient's condition, leading to incorrect
diagnoses or treatment recommendations. In addition , there is the
potential for dishonest healthcare providers offering online
consultation services. Patients should be careful to research and
choose online medical consultation services to ensure that they are
receiving high-quality care from licensed professionals. It is
important for patients to carefully consider these potential risks and
to discuss any concerns they may have with their healthcare
provider before using online medical consultation services.
FEAR
1. IS FEAR OF PUBLIC SPEAKING REALLY A
PROBLEM?
- Yes. The fear of public speaking can prevent you from sharing ideas,
talking about your work, and presenting solutions to problems that
affect many people and as a result it can affect how well you do.
personal and professional development. At the same time, you will
become more and more shy and scared when standing in front of a
crowd.
2. WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS OF FEAR OF PUBLIC
SPEAKING?
- Typically, people shared they felt nervous, feared the worst
happening, heard their voice shake, experienced sweating, dry mouth,
increased heart rate and the dreaded.
3. WHAT ARE THE EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS FOR
FEAR OF PUBLIC SPEAKING?
- Know your topic.
The better you understand what you're talking about — and the more
you care about the topic — the less likely you'll make a mistake or get
off track.
And if you do get lost, you'll be able to recover quickly. Take some
time to consider what questions the audience may ask and have your
responses ready.
- Practice, and then practice some more. Practice your complete
presentation several times. Do it for some people you're comfortable
with and ask for feedback. It may also be helpful to practice with a
few people with whom you're less familiar. Consider making a video
of your presentation so you can watch it and see opportunities for
improvement.
4. SHOULD PUBLIC SPEAKING BE COMPULSORY IN
SCHOOLS?
- I don't think we should. I think it should just be a skill to help
students. Because I’m believed that not all students want careers in
public speaking: Schools are supposed to teach students valuable
skills they’ll use when they get to the workplace. And the thing is, not
all careers involve public speaking. A graphic designer, for instance,
usually only stays in front of a computer and creates designs.
5. SHOULD THERE BE LAWS THAT PROTECT
PEOPLE FROM BEING FORCED TO SPEAK IN
PUBLIC?
- I think we should have some laws to protect freedom of speech but at
the same time we have to have laws to penalize people who abuse that
right to spread false information, defame others because it will
negatively affect the community.
6. WHAT ARE THE ETHICAL IMPLICATIONS OF
USING FEAR OF PUBLIC SPEAKING TO
MANIPULATE OR CONTROL PEOPLE?

- Using fear of public speaking as a tool for manipulation involves

exploiting individuals' vulnerabilities and emotions. This can be seen
as unethical as it involves taking advantage of people's fears and
psychological well-being to achieve personal or organizational goals.
- Manipulating or controlling people through fear of public speaking
can infringe upon individuals' autonomy. Autonomy refers to the right
to make decisions and act freely based on personal values and beliefs.
By exploiting fears, individuals may be coerced into doing things
against their will and may not have the freedom to express themselves
authentically.

7. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF A PHOBIA?

- The physical symptoms you can experience may include:
- feeling unsteady, dizzy, lightheaded or faint
- feeling like you are choking
- a pounding heart, or accelerated heart rate
- chest pain or tightness in the chest
- sweating
- hot or cold flushes
8. HOW DO PHOBIAS DEVELOP?
- Genetics:
 There is evidence to suggest that there may be a genetic
predisposition to developing phobias. If a family member has a
specific phobia or anxiety disorder, you may be more likely to
develop one as well. This suggests that certain genetic factors may
play a role in the development of phobias.
- Early Childhood Experiences:
Phobias are often thought to originate in childhood, between the ages
of about 4 and 8. During this time, children may have heightened
fears and anxieties as part of their normal development. If these fears
are reinforced or if the child has a particularly traumatic experience
during this time, it can contribute to the development of a phobia.
9. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TREATMENTS FOR
PHOBIAS?
- Relaxation Techniques: Learning and practicing relaxation
techniques, such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation,
and mindfulness meditation, can help reduce anxiety and manage
phobia symptoms.
- Support Groups: Joining a support group with others who have
similar phobias can provide a sense of understanding, validation, and
support. Sharing experiences and coping strategies with others can be
helpful in managing phobias.
10. WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES OF LIVING
WITH A PHOBIA?
- Impact on Relationships:
Phobias can also impact relationships with family, friends, and
romantic partners. The fear associated with the phobia may cause
individuals to avoid social situations or isolate themselves, leading to
feelings of loneliness and social withdrawal.
- Phobias can disrupt daily life, making it challenging to perform
routine tasks or engage in activities that others may find easy or
 enjoyable. For example, someone with a fear of flying may be unable
to travel by plane, limiting their ability to visit certain places or attend
important events.
11. WHAT ARE SOME TIPS FOR COPING WITH A
PHOBIA?
- Consider Support Groups: Joining a support group for individuals
with phobias can provide a sense of community and understanding.
Sharing experiences, learning from others, and receiving
encouragement can be beneficial in your journey of coping with a
phobia.
- Practice Self-Care: Engage in activities that bring you joy and
relaxation. Engaging in hobbies, spending time with loved ones,
practicing self-care, and pursuing enjoyable activities can help
distract from your phobia and improve your overall well-being.

in our environment. It reminds us to be cautious and avoid situations that
can harm us physically, emotionally, or psychologically. This fear
function helps us navigate the world and make informed choices to
ensure safety and happiness.
