CONCEPT 1PASSIONATE LOVE

PASSIONATE LOVEDEFINITION:

A state of intense longing for union with one’s partner.

PASSIONATE LOVEAlexis is an university student. Therefore, she is at a stage of puberty where she

is longing to have a partner in her life. Coincidentally, she dropped her books and Prem helped her to pick them up. Their hands touched when picking up the

same book which is where the physical arousal occurs. Then, they gaze into each eyes which is where the passionate love between both of them begins.

CONCEPT 2FIRST IMPRESSION

FIRST IMPRESSIONDEFINITION: A first impression is the event when one person first

encounters another person and forms a mental image of that person.

FIRST IMPRESSIONIn the video, Shi Lik was sitting in front of Starbucks when Alexis and

Prem sat at the table in front of him. Their public demonstration of love causes Shi Lik to have a bad first impression about them as they were bad students who do not pay any attention in studies.

CONCEPT 3SEXISM

SEXISMDEFINITION:

Gender stereotype –Idea of how men and women should behave

SEXISMIn the video, Prem started an argument with Alexis

as he had a gender stereotype that a girl should not prop her legs because only mens are allowed to do it. There is when sexism occurs in their argument.

CONCEPT 4AGRESSION

AGRESSIONDEFINITION:

Aggression is behavior that intends to harm another individual

AGRESSIONIn the video, when Prem and Alexis were having an argument. A verbal aggression occurred when Alexis shouted at Prem and Prem shouted back at Alexis. Then, they started to push each other which is where

physical aggression begins. Alexis then slaps Prem which shows direct physical aggression.

CONCEPT 5PERSUATION:

MOOD OF AUDIENCE

PERSUATION: MOOD OF AUDIENCEDEFINITION: Good moods – both physical and

psychological – can enhance openness to persuasion.

MOOD OF AUDIENCEIn the video, when Alexis and Prem were having a fight, Jia Ling

passed and went to persuade them to stop fighting. Jia Ling was in a calm and good mood. Therefore, Prem and Alexis were opened to

his persuasion and stopped their fight.

CONCEPT 6COST BENEFIT MODEL OF

HELPING

COST- BENEFIT MODEL OF HELPINGDEFINITION:

We are more inclined to help others when it will help us as well.

COST-BENEFIT MODEL OF HELPING

In the video, Lawrence offered to listen to Alexis’s problems as he wanted to ask Alexis a mathematical question because she is very good at maths. He benefited by helping her as it did not take much to gain her help in his maths question. On the other hand, Christine benefited from the act where she offered to buy Prem a drink so as to get close to him after knowing that he had a fight with his girlfriend.

3 months later, Prem broke-up with Alexis and Christine became his girlfriend.
