Our class were asked the question “Can One Person Change The World?” and to help us decide we watched a video and listened to a song.
The video we watched was called “Free Hugs” which is about a man who walks around the street with a sign saying ‘free hugs’. At first nobody gave him a hug but eventually when one person did, alot of other people started hugging him as well. After a while, the police banned free hugs and then a petition was made. Their target was 10, 000 signatures and when they reached their goal, free hugs was back. After the man made this video, other people started doing the same thing, making their own ‘free hugs’ signs.
The song we listened to was called “I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (With Flowers in my Hair)” by Sandi Thom. In the song, she sings about how she wishes the world could be a simpler place like in 1977 and 1969.
Three reason why one person couldn’t change the world:
<3 People might not listen to them
<3 They might not be able to get the exposure they need e.g. internet, radio, TV
<3 They might not have the resources e.g money
Three reasons why one person could change the world:
<3 Some people would listen and spread the idea
<3 Most people have access to media e.g internet, TV, radio
<3 Sometimes if one person has a good idea, other people catch on and start taking action
After all this, I think that one person CAN change the world.
