In the ocean one of the main issue is plastic pollution such as having plastic in the ocean which endanger the marine life and animals.

Stanley Quach Project 3 Ideas

One of my social problem I had seen often is racism. Even while there are still freedom for all people, there are still some the say words that are still racist to certain people which cause an outrage. This is especially in our present era with technology growing around the world and people on their phones through social media. Cyber Racism has been growing recently compared to the real world as people in social media can control their text and they may not know entirely the person much when chatting in social media. Cyber Racism needs to be controlled and stopped so the social media network can connect friendly to all people and be equal. One of the example involves the article of Dolce and Gabbana where the co-founder Gabbana account in Instagram said racist feedback and comments, including certain celebrities.

The United States government announced 2018 as the fourth warmest year on record. Overall, the past five years have been the five warmest years since record-keeping began in the late 1800s. Climate change is happening and many different causes such as flooding, sea level to rise and the Arctic is warming. This site also has a call to action, however, if we decide to make these changes it will take time to see results.

Here are two articles that talk about the effects of climate change.

Signs and Symptoms of Cell Phone Addiction

We take social media for granted and we don’t realize the harmful things about being addicted to the media. We depend a lot on our phones and when we don’t have them around we get anger, irritability, depress, and have anxiety. Our eyes can burn and strain from staring at the screen for a long period of time which can cause headaches. People develop neck problems from looking down at their phones. It can also be contained with germs. Some of the bacteria can be a life-threatening infection to the heart, bones, joints, and more. This is important because most people claim that they are not addicted or their pains aren’t caused because of their phone.
