Mini Film Festival Make UP

  1. One thing that was common in all of the films was that the focus of the films was on younger people taking action on issues that they saw. Martinez and Dokoupil both focused on environmental issues. Whereas Aunt Flow, Columbus neighborhood, and Boo Radley focused on social issues. Another common thing was that the issues brought up were all ones that the subjects appeared to be passionate about. Another commonality was that they were all working without the help from adults or major institutions.
  2. The individuals and groups use many methods to bring forth change. Martinez worked with others to sue the federal government. Whereas Aunt flow used people buying their products to send another one to those in need. Koupil cut back personally on her trash consumption in order to help cut back on overall waste. She also talked to others to encourage them to do the same. The students in Columbus used protesting to combat the social issues on campus and in the United States. Boo Radley used positivity to spread happiness around campus. Each group had their own approach to handling the issues that the believed to be important.
  3. I can use some of the methods that they used in order to bring change. I can make changes in my own life to reflect my beliefs such as cut back on my own personal waste. I can also protest issues that I feel passionate about. I could also be more mindful of how my day to day actions affect those who I interact with ranging from family members to complete strangers. The ways shown in the videos are good ways to bring about change in all aspects of my life. However, there are more ways that can also be effective to bring forth change.
