Identity-
Mon is surfing the internet for job openings.
Mons sighs deeply when he can't find jobs to meet his needs. Then he receives an email from the bank.
An envelope pops up on the screen. The logo on the envelope looks a tiny bit different but Mon does not even catch it and without hesitating he opens the mail by clicking on the envelope icon.
When he clicks, the envelope pops open with comments such as 'It looks like you are short of money' 'Well, we can help!' And then a hand comes out of the screen.
Desperate for some help, Mon grabs the hand and is drawn into the screen.
He enters a peaceful forest and a friendly looking being appears in a white suit.
The being in the white suit at first politely asks Mon personal questions.
But as Mon gives more and more answers the forest gets darker and creepier. Pop up windows with suspicious ads peek through the trees and electronic hands from the pop up windows try to grab Mon saying things like "Hey Mon, tell me a little about yourself too!"
The being also become aggressive when Mon hesitates to answer and make attempts to escape.
Now the being is wearing a black suit and laughing at Mon. In the being's hands are Mon's credit card and car keys. As the being laughs his face morphs into Mon's.
Mon is now running to escape the forest and at far he sees a red lit up box with a white 'X'.
Mon runs and presses the red box and is spat out back into his room from a pop up screen.
Mon is breathing hard still frightened.
Then the message appears "Just click out of it! Don't let them take you."
Family and Friends-
Mon is driving home with a careless face. He sees a house on fire and firetrucks surrounding the house and does not even bat an eye at it.
He comes home and as he walks in his mother asks him questions like 'did you eat?' and Mon not answering or listening to a single one, walks away with his fingers plunged into his ears and his mother sighs.
His dog follows him to his room with a toy and Mon's little brother talks to him 'Hey Mon guess what happened at school today?' but Mon shuts the door on them. The dog drops his toy and walks away and his brother sighs at the door.
Another day Mon is driving home happily. He holds an 'Outstanding Employee' certificate in his hand. He runs inside the house and waives the certificate at his mom, however she fades away. Mon is confused but runs to his brother's room and waives it at him but his brother also fades away with his dog.
Now Mon is really confused.
When zoomed out of Mon's face, we see that he is standing in a room with burnt walls.
A fireman walks up to Mon and hands him his family picture.
The message appears "______________________"
Nature / Environment-
Mon buys a bottle of orange juice at a newspaper stand on the street. He drinks it all right after he buys it and looks at the trashcan. Next to the trashcan is the recycling bin. He looks at the juice bottle and sees the recycle symbol. But Mon makes a whatever face and just tosses the bottle behind him into the trashcan. The guy at the newspaper stand makes an upset face at Mon's attitude.
Mon comes home (Apt 123) and turns on the faucet in the sink to brush his teeth. Whistling around the house, Mon does some other jobs with the water still running. In a pond, we see angry fishes starring at the pipe marked "Apt 123"sucking up water from their pond.
Next day Mon wakes up and turns on the faucet but no water comes out. The angry fishes are blocking the pipe that is connected to his apartment. Mon is upset but puts on a tie even though he is itchy from not bathing.
He looks at the calendar. Today's date says 'Stop pollution! Car pool today!'
Mon drives to work by himself.
He stands in line for an orange juice at the newspaper stand. The guy in front of him also buys a bottle of orange juice. When it comes to Mon's turn orange juice is poured on him and not in a bottle.
Mon goes to his car and animals are urinating all over his car. When Mon approaches they go away but Mon's car is dirty and he is mad.
The message appears "You are taking their's. Return most of what you can."
Beliefs-
Mon is grocery shopping, when he spots a distorted being stared at suspiciously by the security. The distorted feeling timid, crouches his shoulders and walks away.
At the register Mon spots that all the employees are putting up the "register closed" sign when it comes to the distorted being's turn. Again the being turns away with his back stooped due to lack of confidence.
In the subway, when Mon looks out the windows all the doors are closing once the distorted being reaches it. The being hardly reaches the doors to the train limping but when he arrives at one then at another each closes at his face. Then Mon angry now, runs to the next open door the being is limping to. Right as it closes the being makes a disappointed face. But then this door opens back up and we see that Mon's arm is holding the door. The being gets on and they smile at each other.
The message appears "All you need to do is take out one hand."

So why?
Your Environment - Why not recycling? (Individual scale)
1. One person doing it isn't going to make a difference anyways..
2. I'm not forced to, so why? - some areas fine people but for those who have no penalties they don't bother to recycle.
3. I don't have time or space in my house to do so.
Your Family & Friends
1. Afraid of your family issues (like fights which is something you do not want to tackle) interfering with your personal life and time - you have enough going on in your life.
2. Too busy achieving personal goals so family and friend matters become secondary.
3. The existence of the family and friends become so natural to you that you forget or do not imagine life without them.
Beliefs - Why do we not speak up?
1. Conscious of others' judgement of you / Because you want to avoid being isolated from a group.
2. Why should I be the one to stand up when eventually someone else will- not wanting to be the one to be taking the responsibilities once the belief is neglected or turned away by the majority.
3. Afraid of the outcomes (often the consequence because it may cause interference with the law) or governance.
Identity - We mean to protect but we easily expose our identity to strangers, why?
1. Online- we trust too much; we often expect that places like banks to have stronger surveillance but it is them that 'phishers' use the most to get us on hooks- they take advantage of our anticipations.
2. It is hard to avoid tempting ads- this maybe due to curiosity or the hope that the ad will really bring advantage to you.
3. And then there is the case where your identity is stolen by a theft forcefully even though you did not attempt to give it out.

Protect your _________________.
Protect your Beliefs .
Phoolan Devi
Phoolan Devi
This is a photograph of Phoolan Devi (a.k.a. The Bandit Queen). What I connotated from this portrait of her was the irrelevance of her young face and the bandit wearing she has on- the bullets, weapon and the thick bandana. Despite her youth, her world has dressed her up that way. Even though she earns the name Bandit Queen, she was to put on the heavy band of bullets around her chest to symbolize her insecurity and also as a form of a shield for her heart. After so much horrifying experience in her life I don’t think it was a choice for her to hold a rifle and to dress like a man in her male domesticated environment. And yet all the things she did were not only for women’s rights but also for the rightful governance for the people in her country. It is hard to imagine how over weighted the bullets may have been for her small shoulders but had no choice but to wear them to protect her outstanding beliefs. Even today, it is a law at most countries to be giving the same weight of rights to women, however, there is a hidden power overdrawing this matter at times, as Feminism is still a topic questioned and discussed as an issue not history and as this may be an old saying but is not “yet” outdated- “Breaking through the glass ceiling”.
Why why why??? Why and how do we get "phished" on line??
You are browsing wrong!
People can take steps to avoid phishing attempts by slightly modifying their browsing habits. When contacted about an account needing to be "verified" (or any other topic used by phishers), it is a sensible precaution to contact the company from which the e-mail apparently originates to check that the e-mail is legitimate. Alternatively, the address that the individual knows is the company's genuine website can be typed into the address bar of the browser, rather than trusting any hyperlinks in the suspected phishing message.
Ex. of the trustful: PayPal
Nearly all legitimate e-mail messages from companies to their customers contain an item of information that is not readily available to phishers. Some companies, for example PayPal, always address their customers by their username in e-mails, so if an e-mail addresses the recipient in a generic fashion ("Dear PayPal customer") it is likely to be an attempt at phishing.
Tricks are used to get you hooked... A link provided by an email from a bank with an embedded logo in the content and some words with warm regards 'for your safety' may seem trusty.
Example:
Why you should recycle-
The Top Ten Things that Will Happen When you Don't Recycle & Reasons Why you Should Recycle
Why should you recycle?
10. Higher fuel prices. Producing more aluminum, textiles, plastic, paper, and other brand new materials from scratch will consume far more energy than salvaging and reusing old materials. The more brand new products that must be created, the more energy used. The more energy used, less fuel is available. Less fuel, higher price.
9. Your children! Do you really want to leave this whole mess for your children to fix? A world without recycling is going to be a very hard existence down the line. Do your part now and make it easier on future generations.
8. More work and more consumer debt. The higher fuel costs rise, the more everyone will have to work to catch up with rising fuel costs. The only alternative would be to fall into debt.
7. Contaminated drinking water. Throwing away toxic materials like paint, batteries, CFL bulbs, and chemicals will inevitably find their way back into the groundwater. Public water plants can't filter out everything, not to mention it affects wildlife, too. You can make your current water cleaner with these recommended tap water filters.

5. It's less expensive than throwing it away. Dumpsters cost money, and so does trash pickup. Recycling is free.
4. More jobs. Recycling creates far more opportunities for employment than landfills and incinerators. More jobs will stimulate the economy and lower prices of goods.
3. It kills wildlife. Creating more waste not only takes up more space that wildlife use, but they use it as a feeding ground. Animals don't know any better than to scavenge off of our food scraps and waste, and can't diffrentiate between safe and unsafe food. There are also a number of harmful contaminants and materials in landfills that will easily kill or trap animals, like fishing line, nets, and plastic can rings (the kind that are on six pack containers to hold them together).
2. Cleaner air. Creating virgin products instead of recycling in most cases uses much more energy, and creates unhealthy emissions. Continued emissions leads to unhealthy living conditions and smog.
1. This is one point that everyone will understand: money. Creating brand new packaging, metals, plastics, paper and other materials on the average uses far more energy than recycling previously used materials. Use this as your arguing point if some stubborn people don't want to see it your way. Most people will understand when you mention the money and economic factor. A good example is aluminum. As opposed to creating new aluminum, recycling old aluminum uses 95% less energy.
Why why why??? Top 5 reasons why people do not recycle...
1. “Recycling is inconvenient.”
This seems to be the number one reason why people don’t recycle – they don’t want to put in the extra effort. Some places have no pick-up. Some people say that they just can’t be bothered. Is that a good enough reason?

2. “I do not have enough space in my home to recycle.”
The lack of space is an issue for many. People don’t want to see garbage and with little storage space for recycling bins, the trash is an eyesore. Is that a good enough reason?

3. “If they paid me, I’d recycle.”
Some countries fine people for not recycling. Some regions pay for just bottle recycling (we know that works). Some areas have no penalties or incentives for recycling. Is that a good enough reason?

4. “Recycling doesn’t make a difference. So why do it?”
Misinformation about overflowing landfills, depleted resources and climate change has convinced some people that recycling doesn’t make a difference. They believe there is no problem. Is that a good enough reason?

5. “It is just to hard to do.”
Since there are so many facets to recycling – bottle, plastic and paper, it’s hard to decipher which kinds go where. Is that a good enough reason?

Possible Plots for now...
The main character- Monster: aka Mon
Other characters- Mon's friend: Friend, Mon's pet: Pup, The ghost (Messanger)
Identity: Property/ Money/ Belongings/ Safety...
Mon and Friend are surfing the internet when an unexpected window pops up. In this pop-up window is a beautiful woman seducing the two. Mon and Friend are drooling. Then the ghost appears and asks seduced Mon and Friend very personal information. As if cursed on a spell, the two answer every question.
Then the two are awakened when their cloths and hair styles are changed in a flash like magic.
The two stare at each other confused.
Then you see the hand of the ghost pulling a casino slot machine. With the sound of "chi-ching"bills and coins fly out of Mon's pockets.
The hand of the ghost then signs a contract and the walls of the house they are sitting in fall behind.
The hand of the ghost then trades cash for drugs, the police siren rings and the ID the ghost is holding is Friend's. Friend is handcuffed, drawn away by random hands from the seat.
Mon is left confused without a house, Friend and rag like cloths.
Friends & Family...
Mon and Friend has adopted a puppy. They name him Pup and labels his house "Our Littlest Bro". The three of them spend leisure time together; they go for a drive, go fishing and eat together out of dog bowls and such...
Years pass and Pup has grown. Pup begs Mon for a walk with a leash in his mouth. Mon avoids him because he is "busy".
Mon goes out for a drink, buys a car, plays games and sleeps.. the whole time Pups and Friend watch Mon back and forth and wait for him to spend time with them, Pup still holds the leash in his mouth.
Through the busy walking feet of Mon, we see Pup getting older and tired- indicates time passing.
Pup eventually dies still holding the leash in his mouth.
Friend stops busy Mon and hands him Pup's leash.
Beliefs, Nature- Story coming soon...

another PSA...
Clever way to translate boring statistics by using a "funny" toned metaphor - elephants!
Just some PSAs..
The two are totally different in style (the visuals and also the tone). How about a mixture of the two? Sarcasm with something classic? They both succeeded on giving a solid message.
