Free Hugs Campaign

Free Hugs Campaign

            First of all, after I watched the video about the “Free Hugs”, actually I was surprising and I thought it became phenomenal video. At the beginning of the video, we will see a man who walks in crowd place while bring a cardboard with the words “Free Hugs” and held the cardboard aloft on his both side. Juan Mann is the name of that man who has mission to spread peaceful on the world through hugs people that was strange to change their mind about human contact especially in social live.

            At the beginning, the man walked around the busiest pedestrians while bring the sign aloft on his both side to make people interested with the sign and wants hug him. At the first, what he brings doesn’t make sense for the people. People didn’t give their respond to him. During the man walked, some people just watched him, took his picture and passed him. Juan Mann didn’t give up with the situation around him and until several minutes, he met a woman and their hug. It was his first hug after through that way. Then, some people around him one by one walked close to him and their hug each other. It was really funny saw people hug Juan Mann in many kind of style, like used the skateboard to reach him or just as usual.  Next, some of people tried to bring that sign and hug each other. So, we could see that some people give their respond to the man with the “Free Hugs” sign from their act to him. During the campaign, suddenly several police and officials ordered the “Free Hugs” campaign banned. The police and officials tried to stop and disperse the campaign. Then, some people helped the man with gave their signature as petition to against the police. At first, the total signatures just 83, but then it totally surprised because he gave 10.000 signatures. Some people also tried to talk with the police and hug the police with smiling. In the end of the video, Juan Mann hugged an old woman and continued their mission bring that sign for peace of the world. So, from this video we can get the main point which to keep up the spirit of humanity and togetherness with the simple way, by hug someone because it’s mean that you care about them. That’s way the man did that to open our mind about people around us because we are the same.
