For this project, I researched hate speech and free speech as well as hate speech on internet platforms like Twitter and Reddit and I also researched the nazi rallies at Charlottesville. I wrote an article called "Hate Speech and Free Speech on Social Media Sites" and I also did a sculpture as a metaphor for the methods of how hate speech spreads.
I worked with Nate Linder and together we researched the differences between public and charter schools and took a look at the arguments in support of an against charter schools. We analyzed three political perspectives, interviewed two teachers, did an analysis of a poll, and created our own political cartoon basing it off of two others we had analyzed.
In this project I researched farm animal protection laws and analyzed four animal protection/welfare organizations. My end product was a website titled "The Chicken Coop." I also wrote an argumentative on why factory farming is bad and why the legislation should be better enforced.
I researched sex work in the U.S and also took a look at the Fight Online Sex Trafficking and Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Acts (FOSTA-SESTA) and took a look at their effectiveness in stopping sex trafficking and their impact on sex workers. I also did research into how other countries view and make legislation for sex work and planned on creating a series of works depicting it.
