General Question: In the contemporary world, why is it valuable for a citizen like you to become proactive instead of reactive in the social dilemmas affecting everyone today due to politicizing acts of help and weaponizing statements that may incur trouble for an individual? For your part, would there be ethical repercussions when one speaks against the oppression of the state? 

Instructions:

  • You can also situate it in the condition of our society now (ECQ Season 2, Community Pantry, etc.). There is no limit in this case: regardless of your political bias, you must remain impartial since what we are trying to get here is an ethical thought.
  • Use popular culture to explain the answer that you have in the question above. This can go in the form of any television series, documentaries, news reports, meme culture, anime, etc.
