First, I actually decided on victim blaming as my main topic. However, later I noticed PTSD while researching about victim blame. These two issues are closely related and I decided to do both and developing them together in my plan. I decided to do victim blame and PTSD because of social media posts and news videos that has comments that’s actually very uncomfortable, which are the judgements that’s being put on the victims and causing them to pressure when they already experienced something really bad. I believe the first step of solving a problem is to make the problem seen by the public and getting people aware. Attention raising is an important call to the solution. I learned my experience from how my attention are caught when I was walking outside and brainstormed how actions can be taken to drawn more sights to the issue.

Some strategies that could be used for the issues of victim blame and PTSD to be seen by more people in the society are posters, volunteer organizations, the avoidance of sensitive wordcases online to prevent people sending hate comments,etc. The use of posters can be able to grab the attention of people that walk nearby. It could be stuck on the walls of different public areas such as schools, business centers, train/ bus stations, hospitals, etc. If the color of the poster is more vivid, then it is easier to catch the eye of passers-by, and the volume of the poster should be large enough to be eye-catching as well. Another strategy, volunteer organizations can also be very useful to educate more people with victim blame and PTSD. Usually teenagers in high school have the requirement of fulfilling a certain amount of volunteer hours and they would be very willing to participate in volunteer organizations. While teenagers are part of the population in the volunteer organization, people that have time and are willing to step into victim blaming and PTSD resolutions can also participate. The volunteers can help create the posters and find public areas or social media to put it. For example, for students, when one person creates a poster, they can receive 1 hour of volunteer time. This can lead to more people willing to participate in volunteer organizations because there are benefits for them which acts as more motivation. When victims and survivors have words to share out and to be heard, the volunteer organization can host a meeting for them and be nice listeners to support them. Workshops and campaigns can also be hosted to educate the community about the impacts of victim blame and PTSD. If possible, they can arrive at schools during student lunch periods to hold conversation and a small lesson with them about the issue. There were usually bully prevention lessons and drug prevention lessons held in middle schools, which can be considered a good idea to imitate.

I propose developing an AI-powered Emotion Blocker tool that helps traders manage emotional stress. By connecting to trading platforms, the tool analyzes trading behavior and real-time physiological data (like heart rate and facial expressions) to identify emotional triggers. If stress or emotional instability is detected, the tool initiates a cooldown period, offering financial advice and calming suggestions to encourage rational decision-making. This AI system aims to improve trade quality by preventing impulsive decisions and helping traders regain composure before resuming trading.

Reasonably why I choose this was to but out a plan which would be functional and be bale to help many in a few steps that will be completed step by step. As no organization starts with everything in place we would need to start small then only grow from there until we can successfully reach the mission goal. But also, having such a plan set out help the team to understand what the organization strives to do in the future. With all the resources and learning tools that will be available for the victims.

A VICTIMS MISSION

Understanding the victims is the biggest factor in how our plan will function. However not having enough resources to support the victim’s recovery for a better life will be very dangerous for them and us, as we need people to trust us and the services that we are providing. Now how to achieve such success in the future is really to start small while working for the end goal which is providing services to all victims of sexual/domestic abuse. The plan:

• We should start call centers, leading patients to services that can help them further than we can at the moment. However, we must promise to get all availability in the future.
• Why do this? As a service, we do not have enough resources at the moment, so fully being able to help victims will be difficult at the moment, but having call centers will help victims trying to escape their situation. Calling us will allow us to lead them to organizations that are very good at what they do to help victims, not make them wait for a better life, and help as soon as possible.
• Convenient locations
• Having places that are easily accessible to anyone who needs the help. They do not need to take an hour to find an organization that is supposed to be helping them. Making them relatively within walking distance will make it easier for anybody to reach them without many issues. If a victim is in a dire situation and the help is far away they could be in a worse situation before they receive any help. Making them have more psychological trauma or even in an extreme case suicide.
• Education, Awareness Campaigns; Teacher, and Healthcare Worker training
• Raising awareness among parents, educators, and the general public about the prevalence and signs of child sexual abuse can help prevent abuse and ensure early intervention. Knowledge empowers communities to protect children effectively. Leading to fewer cases that will follow our business ideology– preventing abuse.
• Providing specialized training to teachers, school staff, and healthcare providers helps them identify the warning signs of abuse and respond effectively. This training ensures they understand how to handle sensitive situations, communicate with children in a supportive and non-threatening way, and report concerns to the proper authorities. Equipping these professionals with the knowledge and tools to take action can serve as a critical lifeline for vulnerable children who might otherwise remain unnoticed and unsupported.
• Strengthening Legal Protections and Reporting Mechanisms; Community-Based Prevention Programs

• Implementing stronger child protection laws, streamlining reporting processes, and creating child-friendly systems to handle abuse allegations can improve victim safety and hold perpetrators accountable. Preventing further damage to the victim, and making it sooner for recovery which we will provide.
• Initiatives like after-school programs, parenting classes, and community outreach help create safe and supportive spaces for children and families. After-school programs keep kids busy with supervised activities, reducing their chances of being in unsafe situations. Parenting classes teach caregivers helpful skills to build strong and healthy relationships with their children. Community outreach spreads awareness about preventing abuse and connects families to important resources, creating a stronger, safer community.
• Support for Survivor Parents
• Offering resources like parenting classes and trauma-informed therapy for survivors who are now parents can help them navigate challenges and build healthy relationships with their children. This leads to future family opportunities that the survivor parents never got to experience, and can finally show to their children. That furthers self-therapy after the classes which can heal and fix the trauma they may still be recovering from.
• Public and Private Funding for Research
• Supporting further studies on the causes, effects, and solutions for child sexual abuse can help improve policies and programs. Research can show what puts children at risk, what helps protect them, and what survivors need to heal. It can also point out problems in current systems like schools, healthcare, and the law. Learning about different communities and their challenges can help create better prevention and support strategies. Research can also lead to new ways to treat survivors, find abuse earlier, and create stronger policies to keep children safe.

My target is to create an educational syllabus for students about the importance of autonomy and informed consent in end-of-life decisions. Some tactics I would use are to highlight the individual’s right to make decisions about their body and life, explain that informed consent ensures individuals fully understand their options, risks, and consequences before making decisions, and encourage people to have open conversations with loved ones and healthcare providers about their wishes. 

ACTION PLAN:

Course Title: Autonomy and Ethics in End-of-Life Decisions: Understanding Physician-Assisted Suicide

Course Description
This course explores the ethical, legal, and social implications of physician-assisted suicide (PAS). It emphasizes the role of autonomy, informed consent, and the moral complexities surrounding end-of-life care. By analyzing case studies, legal frameworks, philosophical perspectives, and real-world practices, students will develop a nuanced understanding of the topic.

Course Objectives
By the end of the course, students will be able to:

1. Define physician-assisted suicide and know the difference from other end-of-life practices.
2. Analyze the role of autonomy and informed consent in healthcare decisions.
3. Understand the legal and ethical debates surrounding PAS.
4. Evaluate cultural, social, and religious influences on attitudes toward PAS.
5. Formulate informed opinions and engage in constructive discussions about end-of-life care.
