In this new presentation “paying it forward” was the class topic. Now if you don’t understand the phrase “Paying it forward” kinda think of a nice gesture. the act of performing a kind or generous deed for someone, without expecting anything in return. Instead of accepting gratitude or repayment, the person is encouraged to pass on the kindness by helping someone else. This creates a ripple effect or a people now call it a “chain reaction” of goodwill and positive energy that can spread throughout a community. Paying it forward can take many forms, from simple acts like paying for a stranger’s coffee to more significant gestures like donating time or resources to a charitable cause. The concept is based on the belief that small acts of kindness can have a big impact and that by helping others, we can create a more compassionate and interconnected world.

Learning about “paying it forward” has encouraged me to do acts in the sense of paying it forward and has helped my idea of paying it forward. Each of the groups in the class had their own choice of topic in relation to paying it forward. Like for example the other two groups had good eating and significance of healthy eating habits. 

After listening to groups 2 and 3 present, I want to say they have did an OUTSTANDING job. I’ve learnt about different organizations, cultures, and etc. Now many might have a question to say how does cultures, organizations, good eating, and self care have anything to do with “paying it forward”. Good eating habits often involve choosing sustainable and ethically-sourced foods. By supporting sustainable agriculture and reducing food waste, individuals contribute to a healthier planet, which benefits everyone. A lot of cultures don’t have that option of a choice for better food therefore worldwide organizations come together to help the ones in need also an example of paying it forward. Self care has a ton to do with paying it forward, taking care of oneself ensures that we have the energy and resource needed to support and help others across the nation that can’t help themselves.

Despite group 3 performed first probably felt as if they had little time, did fantastic. Despite group 2 being skipped mid presentation it was like they never left :) .

All in all, everyone did good and im happy i got this topic and learned more about what it’s like and what it actually means to pay it forward.

The beginning was quite smooth as my groupmates, and I were able to establish a common platform for communication via WhatsApp and split each page and topic among ourselves. Someone in the group also had opened a common presentation template for us to insert our slides, which allowed everyone to see who was not ready yet, halfway ready, or

  In this group assignment, my group was assigned with the topic of paying it forward. Prior to this assignment I had some previous knowledge on the subject but nothing too extensive. I would like to start this blog off by talking about some of the key things I learnt while doing this presentation and also how working in a group  not only can be contributing to the movement  of paying it forward but is beneficial to us students in general. I will also add key things I learnt from the other groups presentation. Paying it forward is a concept and practice rooted in kindness, empathy, and the idea that small acts of goodwill can create a ripple effect of positive change. At its core, paying it forward entails performing an act of kindness for someone without expecting anything in return. The idea is that the recipient of the kindness will, in turn, do something kind for someone else, creating a chain reaction of positive deeds that extend far beyond the initial act. This selfless approach

  Group 1 - Pay it Forward  It was educational and proactive to work on this group presentation in my speech communication (SPC) class. Group 1 got the chance to study the concept of "paying it forward" and learn about the significant work done by national organizations such as World Vision and the British Red Cross. My particular responsibility was to highlight these organizations and their outstanding contributions to the pay-it-forward space. As we uncovered these organizations' important work, it not only demonstrated the significant efforts they had made but also brought to light the intriguing dynamics throughout our group. My exploration of what these organizations provide to those in need was a truly eye-opening experience. The first question that arose in our exploration was, "What do these organizations provide for those in need?" World Vision and the British Red Cross provide a broad range of services, including healthcare, education, clean water acce
