The Role of Sex  Education and Accessible Contraception in Ending the Poverty Cycle

Motherhood is the number one reason girls drop out of school. The United States has the highest rate of teen pregnancies in the developed world (three times higher than the next, ), increasing about 40% since the mid-1990s. The main reasons for unplanned and underaged pregnancies include lack of education, lack of access to contraception, and high-risk behaviors in low-income communities. I would like to look closer into the education programs offered young American's, how mandatory information about prevention versus abstinence could affect rates, the costs of free/easily accessible contraception  versus the cost of welfare for  impoverished mothers, and other health factors like the effects of the lack of pre-natal care in unplanned pregnancies all contribute to the poverty cycle in the US.

The Implication of microbial Copper in Healthcare Facilities 

Medical breakthroughs today usually focus on technological machines and the development of new drugs. However, I would like to uncover the costs and benefits of investing in a very basic adaptation of copper to solve health issues in medical facilities. I would like to see how many lives would be saved from the avoidance of illnesses caught from bacteria in hospitals setting, the money saved in no longer having to treat these infections causing longer hospital stay, and the logistics of adding a new mandatory item to the standards.

The Potential of HIV as the Cure for Cancer

How Defnitions Deterine Our Fate

Explore the obsession with people 'finding a reason' (any reason) to why they are not up to par with the world's more successful, athletic, and genius. I would mainly focus on the wide spectrum of Autism and ADHD and how high standards and low tolerance for average performance had lead to constant excuses, explinations, and reasoning.
