Group Leader
This project has brought to my attention that there are issues in this world that not a lot of people think are worth the time to address. As the group leader for this assignment, I would say that this assignment is overall quite an enjoyable experience. Having the responsibility to delegate tasks and to provide assistance to my team is definitely challenging for me. With that in mind, I do hope that the video that me and my team have worked hard on creating can bring awareness to the topic and to help make the world a better place.

Falsafah dan Isu Semasa has challenged my preconceptions and personal views while also broadening my perspective on the world through this module. This module promotes critical thinking and one;s personal growth by helping individuals to develop a more nuanced and informed view of complex issues. By examining the ideas of great thinkers and reflecting on my own beliefs, I have a deeper appreciation for the diversity of perspectives and values that exist in the world.
In addition to these benefits, learning philosophy shows a positive impact on an individual's personal development. It can help individuals cultivate qualities such as empathy, wisdom, and ethical reasoning, which can serve them well in their personal and professional lives.
Overall, I think learning philosophy can be a valuable and an enriching experience, as it equips us with the tools to navigate the complexities of the world with a clearer, more informed perspective.

Being in Malaysia understanding it’s ethnicity and culture sexual orientation are often the one that is not frequently brought result in the lack of knowledge regarding this topic or subject. This also however result in teenagers making bad choices due to their parent’s ignorance or not understanding of the consequences of the topic. Being in this project allows me to understand how severe this issue is and how important it is for people or teens to be educated in this topic as it is one of the most important topic that is not educated in school. I am very fortunate to work in this dedicated team to do research and study this issue and bring it to light.

It was such a privilege to be able to partake in this project with an interesting topic, I took the advantage as a researcher to study in-dept regarding the sex education in Malaysia, as a result it has opened my mind and changed my perspective towards this topic. I used to think Sex education is a little taboo topic and something to be shy away from, but now I understand its an essential knowledge for us all to achieve a healthy sexuality and become a wholesome human being in general. I now hope our work could reach many people and impact them they way it did towards me, so there will be more awareness raised regarding the importance of proper sex education, which will in turn help our country raise a generation of responsible and well-developed individuals

Falsafah dan Isu Semasa has exposed and challenged some of my own implicit preconceptions while also assisting me in gaining a more comprehensive knowledge of the world and its issues. Students may understand complicated situations from several angles thanks to the course content, which fosters critical thinking and personal development. I have a more sophisticated understanding of the breadth of opinions and values that exist in the world as a result of studying the ideas of great philosophers and reflecting on my own beliefs.
Philosophical education, in my opinion, is worthwhile since it may be a satisfying experience in and of itself to acquire the skills necessary to cope with life's and the world's issues.

Looking back on the project, I can say that it was an incredibly rewarding experience. We were able to come together and create something that has raised our awareness on the state of sexual education in our country, as well as the steps we can take towards improving it. I was able to refine my communication skills, especially in a group of over 20 people.One of the things that I learned from this project was the importance of being efficient in order to maintain the group’s synergy and workflow to ensure that there are no delays. I also gained a deeper appreciation for the role that sexual education plays in promoting healthy relationships and reducing instances of sexual violence. It's often a sensitive and taboo subject, but it's so crucial that young people receive accurate and comprehensive information in order to make informed decisions about their sexual health. Overall, I feel proud of what we accomplished and grateful for the opportunity to work on this project. I hope that our efforts will make a real difference in people's lives and help to break down the stigma surrounding sexual education.

During this project I had met some new people from this module and formed a team together with them in order to complete our assignment for this module. We worked together as a team and learned to cooperate with one another to complete all the task given. Our topic was the lack of sex education in Malaysia, which is quite a sensitive topic in Malaysia as sex education is rarely talked upon here in this country. Sex ed is rarely taught in Malaysia from a young age and most people have not had any sex ed even until they turn into adults. In this project I was able to learn more about the topic sex ed and the state of it in Malaysia. In our video we gave some statistics showing the number of unsafe sex or teen pregnancy, which really opened my eyes to this topic as I think it is a serious topic which should be taught to the younger generations in order to avoid some unforeseen circumstances.

When I first suggested the topic, I did not expect the wonderful discovery we were about to face in the world of sex education. It helped me become more aware of the consequences of the lack of sex education and how important it really is to protect the lives of the community. Although the topic of sex remains a taboo in my family discussions, I definitely want to pass on the healthy culture of talking about the topic. I am blessed that I am able to get some exposure through this project and it is very heartwarming to see the entire team come together via a similar interest to the topic.
I've honed skills of research and philosophy in this project. Learning philosophy made me consciously question the facts and emotional baggage poured onto each article so i can assess them accurately. I now am an individual with a more open-mind thanks for philosophy and this project.

Being able to participate in this project has enabled me to learn more about the disregarded topic of the lack of sex education in malaysian schools. This topic has often been thrown under the rug due to the fact that it was be too controversial to talk about, especially in malaysia. I am thankful that for this project our group has been able to play our part as young adults and teenagers in spreading awareness of the topic itself, but not only that, I myself have also come to learn more about the lack of sex education in our country and how this has impacted our young society.

Throughout this project, I was responsible for the video production and didn’t do much research. But by reading through the very informative material the research team produced, I had the opportunity to broaden my horizon to the topic that personally wasn’t taught very thoroughly throughout my primary and secondary education. And this really highlighted the issue of the lack of sexual education in Malaysian schools just because our community tends to be more conservative and do not like to discuss the subject.
From the project itself, I’ve learnt a lot more in the video filming and production process as it was my first time participating in the planning, scripting and shooting of the video. It was a really rewarding experience as through teamwork and communication we were able to upload a video that we envisioned and receive such good feedback from it. It wasn’t only a skill building experience but was also confidence building as I was able to communicate better and receive affirmation to what we produced.

Since young I was exposed to alot of sex education due to my parents and church. My parents are more open minded compared to traditional family. In my opinion, through sex education I got to understand clearly what to do and what to not do. Throughout this project, I was the actors for the video and through reading and scripts I noticed not may families were exposed to sex education as much as I am. Being in this project it allows me to portray different personalities hidden within me to portray and interesting video that I am proud we created and so we received a great feedback from it. I hope the video my team and I worked hard on together could bring more awareness and to salvage the wall between the subject of sex education.

I've been able to understand more about the little-discussed issue of sex education being lacking in Malaysian schools thanks to my ability to take part in this project. Due to the fact that it was too contentious to discuss, particularly in Malaysia, this subject has frequently been kept under the table.. I'm grateful because via this initiative, our group of young people and teens has been able to contribute to raising awareness of the issue at hand. But more than that, I'm grateful because I've learned more about the absence of sex education in our nation and how it has affected our young culture. I really hope that this could reach to the people outside and raise their awareness regarding this topic, lastly breaking down the wall that is blocking on the subject matter ti sexual education..

Sexual education is a topic that is not frequently discussed even though many individuals understand the importance of it. Many individuals and more particularly teenagers make bad sexual decisions due to the lack of knowledge in this aspect, which is why our group chose this topic. As a whole I am very satisfied with the outcome of this project. Tasks were given at the start of the assignment making it easy to know what each of us have to do, making the following tasks easier to deal with. I was very fortunate to be in a group with a bunch of hardworking individuals who were easy to communicate and work with. I am glad that our group played a part in educating individuals who can put what they’ve learned to good use and prevent further mistakes from occurring.

​I was able to gain more profound knowledge about sex education through this initiative. Due to this assignment, I have been acutely aware of how seriously Malaysia's education system needs to be improved. Teenage pregnancies and STDs are disturbingly prevalent in Malaysia as a result of the dearth of sex education there. In addition to this, I learned about the many advantages of incorporating sex education into curricula because it can give children the skills and knowledge they need to make the best decisions about sex and relationships for themselves throughout their lives, which emphasises the importance of receiving a sufficient amount of sex education from a young age. Even if only a little, I hope that our work will have an effect on and advance sex education in Malaysia.

Through this project, it gave me many opportunities to expand my knowledge regarding sexual education. For me personally I wasn’t well exposed to sexual education during the period of my primary or secondary education, it was proven to me that the lack of sexual education in Malaysian schools is an issue that we should focus on as due to Malaysia’s cultures and religions have always been somewhat conservative towards these topics. For this project I was responsible for script writing and video taking and as I was going through the readings and research, I realized that sexual education should be an open minded topic to be discussed as it can bring more awareness and precautions for the teenagers. Overall, I’m more than grateful to have participated in this wonderful team with friendly teammates and had the chance of contributing my own strengths into the project and I’m very happy for the result that the team had produced together.
