The first reason that overpopulation is significant to the community of Springfield Township is because they must realize that we cannot be so wasteful with our food, because people in other countries would be happy to eat what we don't.

__TOPIC #1__ Why does society care about blushing? Everyone has felt embarrassment before or is afraid of something. Although it probably does not occur to many people, blushing itself may become a phobia, and therefore a cycle of embarrassment. I anticipate following the Social Action project option. While conducting my research, I will be asking several questions. However, there is one overarching question which drives or compels my research and project. My overriding investigation asks: What are the psychological and physiological causes of blushing that relate it to phobias? I identify two short-term goals (during the next two weeks) and two long-term goals (at the start of April 2010) my project: Short... 1. Find two useful, somewhat extensive resources on the library website 2. Talk to a psychologist or/and a dermatologist Long... 1. Make a video of what people are afraid of 2. Go to a Toastmasters meeting The point of my project is to demonstrate/evidence/learn to feel better about my face blushing.

__TOPIC #2__ Why does society care about overpopulation? The factor that many people may consider the most important is the cost of gas and unemployment. However, other ecosystems are also suffering because we are intruding and polluting the environment. There is simply not enough room for this many humans. I anticipate following the Social Action project option. While conducting my research, I will be asking several questions. However, there is one overarching question which drives or compels my research and project. My overriding investigation asks: How can an individual help remedy the events that the overpopulation of humans have caused? I identify two short-term goals (during the next two weeks) and two long-term goals (at the start of April 2010) my project: Short... 1. Find two useful, somewhat extensive resources on the library website 2. Talk to an expert on overpopulation Long... 1. Have a group of people volunteer to keep track of the food they wasted. 2. Do a survey on the unequal distribution of wealth across the world. The point of my project is to demonstrate/evidence/learn that overpopulation is causing most of the problems in the world and we cannot act like we are ansuperior species anymore.

__TOPIC #3__ Why does society care about rehabilitation sciences for children? Children are the future and should be taken care of so that they can become productive members of society. I anticipate following the Internship project option. While conducting my research, I will be asking several questions. However, there is one overarching question which drives or compels my research and project. My overriding investigation asks: How effective is rehabilitation therapy for children who have been in accidents compared to those who are born with disabilities? I identify two short-term goals (during the next two weeks) and two long-term goals (at the start of April 2010) my project: Short... 1. Find two useful, somewhat extensive resources on the library website 2. Talk to a pediatrician and/or physical therapist. Long... 1. Ask my neighbor if I could get an internship at her workplace. 2. Interview children (or their parents) who have had physical therapy. The point of my project is to demonstrate/evidence/learn about the right ways to interact with children in a therapy setting.
