Topics for Investigation

We selected five topics that interested us the most, and had the potential to create an underlying theme for the semester.

01 Online Safety for Kids

Adolescents who partake in social media and online are prone to exposure of sexual solicitation. Reason being, kids aren’t taught how to practice online safety, they don’t realize they are being solicited or know how to navigate it.

02 Anxiety in Adults

People with social anxiety fear gatherings and social interactions and might avoid these situations completely.

03 Covid in SF

23% of San Francisco’s population are still unvaccinated mainly consisting in people 20-30 years old. With the surge of the Delta variant, more people can become susceptible to contracting or carrying the virus which can then spread.

04 Financial Planning for

Young Adults

People think they are spending less than they actually are. Because people aren’t aware of how much they are spending, they often overspend, causing debt to add up and more financial stress.

05 Decline in Reading for Enjoyment

Reading for leisure declined over the years across all ages.Because people don’t find reading enjoyable, they won’t be inclined to read books, therefore won’t stimulate their brain in positive ways such as building vocabulary, prevent cognitive decline, reduce stress, etc.
