"Events" involves considering past incidents, festivals, or significant occasions tied to the subject. 8. "Actions" refers to people's perceptions, attitudes, or reactions related to the topic. 9. "Nature" prompts reflection on how the natural world is associated with the subject and the messages conveyed by that connection. 10.
