For this video assignment, I will be working alone. My topic is going to "Is the battle of cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation present in our society?" My claim is that yes, cultural appreciation and appropriation are still present in our society today. I believe that there are a number of large sources where cultural appropriation is present such as social media with big celebrities. Cultural appropriation is something that our economy feeds off of and an example of this is Halloween where they sell cheap versions of traditional outfits for kids to dress up in. This is a conversation that many have chosen to ignore in our society and is one of many reasons why racism continues to thrive in our society.

For the video assignment, I will be working with Jennifer Tran, Kaitlynn Nguyen , and Sofia Martinez. Our topic for the issue is “Are college degrees necessary for success?” Our claim is no, college degrees are not necessary to be successful. The reasons that anyone can be successful without going to are, that school isn’t for everyone, there are more than one way to become successful in life and that includes not going to college. There are always alternatives for those who feel that college isn’t for them and they still can be successful. Our take on this issue is to show people that not going to college is okay and shouldn’t be looked down upon because people can still be successful without going to college.

I have decided to work on this project with Ashley Hernandez. Our topic revolves around the question "Should Immigration be Legalized in the United States?" and our claim is that it should. We believe the immigrants do much more than people think in our economy and are essential parts of it. The fact that they can not live safely in the U.S even though they are doing so much for our economy does not sit right with both of us. We both have personal stories that can be used to support our argument  and convince the audience that immigration should in fact be legal in the U.S.

I decided to work on this project alone. The main focus of my project is cancel culture which has been used a lot on social media to call out the racists around the world. The issue I will be discussing is "Should people in social media participate in cancel culture?" I will be discussing how cancel culture should appropriately used and the pros and cons of using cancel culture on social media. I believe people need to be cautious of using cancel culture because at the end of the day, it affects people's lives.

I have decided to work on this project alone and will be focusing on vaping and e-cigarettes. I believe that e-cigarettes have become a problem after conventional cigarettes have decreased in popularity. This, however, is not beneficial because vaping and e-cigarettes have become a problem among teens and young adults. They are just as harmful and very addictive. They should not be promoted towards the young audience.

I decided to work with Julia Van Grol and our issue is climate change!! Some reasons why climate change is so awful is that it benefits no one! It hurts the environment, the world, other creatures, plants, and even people! When people think of climate change, they imagine forrests being cut down or giant factories pumping smoke into the air. An important part of climate change that we forget to think about is that it hurts humankind just like it hurts the environment. In our video we want to show how both the people and the earth are being affected by climate change.

# data[].attributes.body
I will be working alone and I will be discussing the very serious issue that is climate change. In the video, I will be discussing the causes and effects of climate change and the serious action we need to take. Climate change is often looked down upon or not taken seriously because addressing it affects the economy but this issue is something that affects everything living on the earth. People need to take this issue seriously because if we don’t the effects might be too much to stop or reverse.

I will be working with Pearl as we discuss the seriousness of climate change! She will go over how this will directly affect humans, as I will discuss how it is necessary for our environment and society that we take this issue a bit more serious! We believe that in order to create a better place for our kids and grandkids, we have to take charge and create that better place now. Climate change is destroying our beautiful earth and if we don't take it more serious, the damage can and will continue to increase. People around the world will struggle due to climate change as their societies and communities fall apart. We have to do our part, and step up to this issue! Some people do not believe in climate change, but that is solely because it is not directly affecting them. We have to look beyond ourselves and strive to make our world better and safer for everyone! We believe that with the proper steps taken and a call to action, climate change can be controlled!

Is feminism a good thing for society? Yes, feminism is a very good thing for our constantly changing society. Feminism is a crucial ideology and the feminism movement is very much relevant and necessary in today's society as well. Despite the misconceptions suffocating this topic, and causing it to be controversial, feminism itself stands for fairness and equality. The feminism movement is not an anti-men movement, but a pro equality movement. Women especially have been oppressed and mistreated by many different aspects of society. In fact, the devaluing of women is so normalized in our society, that it can sometimes be unrecognizable for most. Feminism allows  women to gain confidence and fight for their rights and fair treatment. This ideology is extremely important and gives us a voice. I will be working in a group with Valeria Figueroa and Ellie Ransdell.

For this project I will be working with Errold Alba and Jessica Ogihara. The issue we are discussing is “Should face coverings be mandatory during the corona virus pandemic?” My group and I, all agree that face coverings should be mandatory during the corona virus pandemic.  We agree that masks are effective and can reduce the chances of someone contracting the virus.  By taking the precaution of wearing a mask while going into a place with a large group of people, lowers the risk of you catching the virus. Our goal is to educate people on the importance of wearing a mask, and how dire this virus can be to certain people. We want to convince people to not only care about their health, but also to others around them that would struggle immensely if they were to contract the virus.

I will be working along with Evelyn Soltero and Errold Alba. The issue we must determine is “Should face coverings be mandatory during the coronavirus pandemic?” We concluded that yes, masks are effective, though not completely preventable, but still something that should be mandated to wear to lower the risk of transmission. Research shows that an unmasked individual who comes in contact with an infected person is at risk many times higher of contracting the virus versus someone who is wearing a mask. To lower the spread of this newly emerged disease, face coverings should be mandated across the entire nation.

For Step 5 of the Examined Beliefs Project - Video Presentation - I will be working with Evelyn Soltero and Jessica Ogihara. The issue we are discussing is "Should face coverings be mandatory during the corona virus pandemic". We believe that face coverings should be mandated, especially to every person who leaves their household and go to a place with a large gathering such as grocery stores, the mall, restaurants, etc. This is a very controversial topic because it has split America in two, where there is a large group of people who do not believe  that face coverings should be mandated nor should they be forced to do things without their consent. We want to persuade people the importance of face coverings because of how deadly this virus is to millions of Americans.

For this video project I will be working by myself. The issue I will be discussing is "Should Masks be Required in All Indoor Establishments?" I conclude that masks should be required in all indoor establishments for the safety of employees as well as the general public. Many people in America see mask requirements as an attack on their personal rights because they are being 'forced' to wear them. Although, studies have shown that wearing a mask helps lower the risk of getting the virus. What some people don't care to consider is that by not wearing a mask you not only endanger yourself but you also endanger others around you. I would like to inform  my audience that wearing a mask is beneficial to the whole public and it will help us to get through this pandemic more efficiently.

For this video project I will be working with Yessenia Bautista. The issue we are discussing is "Should Immigration be Legalized in the United States?" We believe that immigration should be legalized in the US. We believe that immigrants have a lot to offer to the U.S. Many people and families that come to the U.S deserve to stay here. Some people are ignorant to the benefits that have come about in the U.S due to immigration. Many Americans claim that immigrant just come to the U.S to steal their jobs and things like that but in reality immigrants are doing the jobs that many Americans don't want to sign up for. We want to explain to the audience the current situation, what should change, and how we can change that. A way we can make change is by spreading the word and informing people about this situation.

For this video assignment I will be working by myself. The issue I will be discussing is "Should Immigration be Legalized?" My claim is that immigration should be legalized. The reasons I will give is economic growth, separation of families, and protection. Some may disagree that immigrants steal jobs and take up a lot of space in America. There is also a lot of judgement due to stereotypes. I want to inform you how beneficial it is to have immigrants here and that they are not harmful what so ever. They are humans too like the rest of us.

For this video project, I am working with Kacie Le, Katrina Vo, and Sydney Thu. Our focused issue is the question of "Should there be stricter gun control laws in the United States?" Our group has concluded that stricter gun control laws are necessary in order to decrease the deaths and injuries of gun violence every year. Some may disagree and believe that the Second Amendment would be violated with stricter gun control; however however there are several mass shootings that occur each year. American lives will continuously be at risk if gun control is not enacted.

For this video project I will be working by myself. The issue I will be presenting in the video is, "How concerned should we be about Climate Change right now?" I have concluded that we ought to be extremely concerned right now about the Climate Crisis. Some may argue that the Earth will naturally change and that there isn't a need to do anything about the natural course but that is simply not true in our present scenario. I wish to inform people that there is a large cause for concern and the present course of action must be amended should we hope to survive this. We can make a change to this by improving the Paris Climate Agreement and upgrade the global resources tackling the issue.

For this video project I will be working by myself. The issue I will be presenting in the video is, "Is preferring a certain race a fetish or a personal preference?". I concluded that preferring someone's race in a relationship is a racial fetish because of the harm it causes towards those of that race. The counter argument for this issue was that preferring someone's race is similar to preferring a phenotypic trait such as hair color or eye color, even though preferring someone's race can lead to rape, harassment, and a negative change in psyche. I want to inform people that fetishizing someone's race because of sexual stereotypes forced upon that certain race is wrong through acknowledging the negative impact it has on others. Furthermore, I want everyone to personally reevaluate their train of thought and decide whether they believe their personal preferences are offensive and not to believe the stereotypes of others.

For the video project, I will be working with Kirstin Light and Emily Schrider. The issue that will be presented in our video is "Is vaping with E-cigarettes safe?" We concluded that vaping isn't safe and particularly harmful to the younger generation. People may argue that e-cigarettes is the better alternative to traditional cigarettes, but that is not the case. We want to inform people that is it still harmful if you are smoking e-cigarettes and spread awareness to the youth so they understand the risks. We can make a change by creating informative ads and hold guest speaking assemblies at schools.

For this video assignment I will be working with Emily Schrider and Kenny Duong. The issue that is presented in our video is, “Is vaping with E-cigarettes safe?” Overall as a group we concluded that vaping with e-cigarette is not safe and it’s harmful to the younger generation. The counter argument people use for this issue is that it is safer than cigarettes although, e-cigarette have not been around as long as cigarettes have therefore we do not know all of the effects in the long term of using E cigarettes. Companies who make E- cigarettes and water vapor products have  made appealing flavors for the younger audience to purchase. To change this dangerous and  addictive habit we all believe that this information should be spread to  the younger generation and how to do that is by making ads so everyone can see the risk when smoking vaping products and to also have assembly’s at schools to inform them of the dangers when using the products.

Emily Schrider- I will be working with Kenny Duong and Kirstin Light. The issue that we will be presenting is "Is vaping with E-cigarettes safe?" We concluded that vaping is not safe and is particularly harmful to the younger generation. People believe that e-cigarettes are a safer option then traditional cigarettes. To inform people on how harmful this is, we believe it is important to spread awareness, especially to the younger generation. We can do this by making ads and having assembly's at schools to inform people.

I will be working by myself. The issue that I will be discussing on is, “Is Same-Sex Marriage Bad?” I have concluded that same sex marriage is not bad but instead beneficial to people and society. There are many positive benefits towards same sex marriage which is something people are closed minded about. It contributes to helping people with their health, it promotes equality, helps create families and many other benefits. My main goal in creating this video is to demonstrate and advocate for positive change of how same sex marriage is viewed. Furthermore, emphasize how people can promote that positive change towards how people view same sex marriage which requires to spread what equality is.

For this video assignment I will be working by myself. The issue I will be discussing is family separation at the border. My claim is that family separation at the border has caused many children and parents physical and emotional trauma. Some reasons that I will give is how they are staying in inhuman conditions. How they are being treated I will do my best to explain in great detail how these go on to lead to physical and emotional trauma that is being caused to these poor immigrants. I will talk about the trauma that is inflected on children and parents when being separated from one another.

The issue that we are going to present in our video is, "Should there be stricter gun control laws in the United States?" In our group, we have concluded that there should be stricter gun control laws in the United States to prevent gun-related violence. People's argument for this issue is that it would violate our second amendment; however, there were many gun violence cases. There has been a countless amount of mass shooting because gun control laws are not strict. Our main goal of this view is to inform the views that it is important to implement strict gun control laws to decrease gun-related deaths. As well as what changes can be done.

I will be working with Sydney Thu, Timothy Nguyen, and Kacie Le for the video project. Our issue is "Should there be stricter gun control laws in the United States?" We have concluded that stricter gun control laws should be enacted in order keep Americans safer. While others may argue that the second amendment allows the right to bear arms, countless incidents of gun violence have occurred each year killing and injuring thousands of people. In our society today, innocent lives are at risk due to the easy accessibility of guns. The main goal of this video is to emphasize the importance of stricter gun laws that can potentially save the lives of Americans.

The issue for our video project is: "Should there be stricter gun control laws in the United States?". Our group has concluded that there should be stricter gun control laws in the United States because of the large number of gun violence. Although we have the right to bear arms in the United States, there have been a huge number of victims to mass shootings and gun violence every year because of the easy accessibility to guns. Our goal for the video is to display how having a variety of stricter gun control laws in the United States can help decrease the amount of mass shootings and gun violence.

For this video assignment I will be working with Jennifer Tran, Angelina Nguyen, and Kaitlynn Nguyen. The issue for our topic is: Are college degrees necessary for success? Are final claim is that no, college degrees are no necessary for ones success in the future. Our reasons for that are because one might choose a different route in their lives that can turn out to be successful for them. There are many alternatives for those who decide that their career do not align with attending college. They will waste excessive money and their time when they could do it without a college degree. Although, college is a great experience and opportunity for many not everyone needs a college degree. Our goal for this video is to bring awareness to people who have became successful without a college degree and not discredit them but support them with their decisions.

For this video assignment, I am working with Angelina Nguyen, Kaitlynn Nguyen, and Sofia Martinez.  The issue we have chosen is “Are college degrees necessary for success?” We concluded that college degrees are not necessary for achieving success due to the fact that graduates may end up being unemployed and there are many job opportunities that do not ask for applicants to have a degree.  However, we know that college does help student’s out in their future careers as it acts as a gateway opportunity to a better job.  Our main goal for this video is to stress the fact that although college degrees are important, it is possible to achieve one’s life goals without it as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I have decided to work in a group with: Jennifer Tran, Angelina Nguyen, and Sofia Martinez.  We have chosen the issue “Are college degrees necessary for success?”. We believe that college degrees are not necessary for success because a college degree does not guarantee success as many graduates end up being underemployed, and because there are many jobs in the world that do not require such degrees. College though, should not be disproved of having no effect on one’s future, but rather the fact that college is not necessary for success should be emphasized more in our society.  Our goal for the video is to not discredit higher education, but rather show how people can live happy and successful lives without degrees.
