1. Autism
Though most people don't really know, I have an autistic brother who is a year older than me. While I was growing up, I grown accustomed to remarks from school. My family and I dealt with prank calls, and my brother dealt with bullying from his fellow classmates. Now, my brother is generally accepted by people he comes into contact with. My question would be, back then why did people hold a stigma against autistic people? Why did people treat them so differently, yet they are no different from me or you? My intended audience would be very general, like anyone interested in autism.
2. Smoking
In my family, most of my male relatives smoke frequently. As a result, they suffer from some health conditions. For example, my grandfather on my dad's side, smoked frequently and passed away when he was 65, low compared to the average longitivtiy. My question to address would be, if this negative behavior can be avoided, then why do we still choose to do this? What is so great about smoking? This topic would be intended for people interested in health and social behaviors. For example, college students majoring in Public/Community Health or Sociology.
3. Poor Choices relating to drinking alcohol excessively
After my senior year, my friends and I went to Ocean City for senior week. While we were down there, we heard multiple stories of classmates or friends getting into car accidents, etc. We even had a fellow classmate die from cocaine overdose that week. My question regarding this topic is, why do we consider alcohol as a catalyst for excitement/fun? Though it is fun at the moment, people usually regret their decisions once the feeling passes. I guess this would be intended for alcoholics or anyone who likes to drink excessively.
