Who do you think gave the best answer among them?
Harnaaz Sandhu, India
Question: Many people think climate change is a hoax. What would you do to convince them otherwise?
Answer: Honestly, my heart breaks to see how nature is going through a lot of problems, and it’s all due to our irresponsible behavior. I totally feel like this is the time to take actions and talk less, because each action could either kill or save nature. Prevent and protect is better than repent and repair, and this is what I’m trying to convince you guys to do. Thank you.
Lalela Mswane, South Africa
Question: Should tweets and social media comments form a person in their teenage years be held against them years later?
Answer: I believe that everybody should be held accountable for their actions. And if a person doesn’t know how to act on social media, they should be canceled. I believe in cancel culture. In the same way, I also believe in redemption culture, and hoping that the person has matured and has learned better and done better. I hope that they could do better and be redeemed, so I do believe that they can grow and be allowed to do that.

Question: According to Global Citizen, 95% of the world’s countries are led by a male head of state. How would the world be different if more women were in charge?
Answer: Women are leaders by nature. We have the power to raise our voice and make transcendental decisions in society as role models, and we can be an example not just with words but with actions. That’s why women raising their voice as in [sic] this platform called Miss Universe, we are taking charge of our lives and deciding what we want to impart to the society in order to make it a better one. Women, let’s raise our voice and make us a better united universe. Thank you.
