Potential Research Topics

1. Homework
2. Domestic Violence and Child Abuse
3. Human Trafficking
4. Prescription Drug Abuse
5. Distracted Driving

1. I think too much homework is given. If every class gives homework every night then school basically doesn't end and it doesn't leave time for all the other activities students are expected to carry out.
2. I find it horrifying how children cant even be safe in their own homes. This is an issue that should be properly addressed to ensure the kids of our future are safe. I think its a basic right that kids can be protected from the very people that bring them to life.
3. Human trafficking is a horrible activity that forces people, particularly women, to be forced from their lives to carry out illegal activities against their will. This could be very dangerous from many reasons ranging from physical harm to getting in trouble with the government if they get caught.
4. Prescription drug abuse brings up an interesting debate between if they shouldnt be allowed or if they should be regulated better. People could die if they abuse the drugs that are being given out legally. Sometimes the people who abuse the drugs are not the people the drugs are prescribed to. People sell the prescription drugs they receive to other people.
5. Distracted driving is horrible because it can not only kill the people who are driving distracted, but the people who get caught in the wrong place in the wrong time.
