    1. This document contains questions about the 2000 film "Pay It Forward" which explores the idea of a boy named Trevor who creates a movement of good deeds called "paying it forward" where people do favors for others without expecting anything in return and instead asking them to "pay it forward" by doing good deeds for others. 2. The questions probe themes in the film like how Trevor's idea could make a real difference in the world despite skepticism, the power of kindness and faith in human goodness, and whether an intangible idea alone is enough to overcome selfishness in reality or if something more tangible is needed to change human behavior at large. 3. The document provides context to summarize and analyze key

    Define: altruism Utopia

    Questions:
    1. Why does the reporter refuse the offer of the Jaguar?
    2. Where does the “realm of possibility exist” according to Mr. Simonet?
    3. Why do we consider eleven-year-olds incapable of making a difference in the real world?
    4. What is the danger of putting acts of kindness into actual implementation? Does Trevor put
    his family in danger by inviting the homeless man home? Why?
    5. Why can’t Jerry, the homeless man, pay Trevor back?
    6. What is the math of “pay it forward”? How powerful is this?
    7. What is “faith in the goodness of people”? How does it work in Trevor’s system?
    8. Why is Trevor’s project with Jerry initially a failure?
    9. Even in a world of human frailty and weakness, good can exist. What is Trevor’s mom’s
    weakness? What is her first step towards “recovery”?
    10. How does the woman on the bridge “save” Jerry?
    11. Why do the words, “I forgive you,” from Trevor’s mom to her mom mean so much?
    12. Las Vegas, the city of sin and gambling, is the setting for the movie. How is the idea of pay
    it forward a gamble?
    14. Roger Ebert in his review of the movie wrote that “in the real world, altruism is less
    powerful than selfishness, greed, nepotism, xenophobia, tribalism and paranoia. If you doubt
    me, take another look at the front pages.” Can an idea change the way people behave in this
    real world or do you need something more tangible than an idea?
