Some proactive measures that can reduce someone's risk of danger or assault could be maybe if the person who is trying to keep from danger stays off the streets or they make a group of friends. Then they have less of a chance of getting into violence or assualt (Even though no matter what it is very difficult to prevent violence because it can happen at any time)
It can help you because if you're not afraid of laughing at yourself then you won't mind as much if people laugh at you and you'll in a way realise that you're also one who makes mistakes this is my aspect on it I ain't saying it's the best answer
Maintain a clean and healthy home as an example for others to follow is the correct answer.
As they say every good thing or initiative starts from yourself. If you want the country to be clean and pollution free then first of all you have to stop polluting.
Obviously then the others will watch you and learn a good ting or two and follow you or get inspired by you and then stop polluting.
