-Never clear cut and often overused
-Henry VIII had an estimated 72,000 people executed during his reign (dpic.org)

Cost:
-People often spend decades on death row before being 
-The financial cost goes up exponentially, in CA it’s estimated to cost 137m with the penalty, 11.5m without (AmnestyUSA.org)

Main point 2 (cause) - artificial intelligence is a very powerful tool. It can very easily be used for bad purposes and false fame. AI grows to be smarter and its creation continues to disrupt society.
Main Point 3 (solution) - create a unique watermark that shows AI didn’t create the artwork. This would defeat the purpose for AI to create new art pieces

Main point 1- Lowering tuition could aid in more student being able to at least finish college without making their larger. 
Main point 2- More grant opportunities that as easier to obtain not having such rigorous requirements to get said grant. 
Main point 3 Having more help from the government to help expunge people’s debt after a certain amount of years. 
Conclusion- Overall more money is being taken than dished out to the people causing debt to be a huge issue.

Problem: In America, the homeless crisis has reached critical levels, with over 18% of the nation's population living without residence

Cause: Two of the biggest players in American homelessness currently are drug addiction and mental illness. These issues overlap, and are related to larger issues such as care for our veterans and accessible Healthcare.

Solution: One of the most popular proposed solutions for homelessness (or at least something to counteract it) is modifying America's Healthcare and rehab systems to make them more accessible and worthwhile, as drug recovery centers now can often be difficult places to live, and not provide adequate treatment.

Conclusion: It's important to remember that, while homeless shelters can provide some relief, the problem is far more complex and nuanced, and can not be fixed so simply.

Cause - Satellites collisions and previous space expeditions sending debris into our orbit.
Solution - Controlled space equipment to clear and de-orbit space debris. Also, using decommissioned to clear debris on the end of their mission.

Cause- Escape from reality
         Sub point: Use for social enhancing effects
Effect- Not facing problems, need substance to cope, physical and mental withdrawals

Main point 2 - It can cause a decline in mental health from comparing yourself to others and a feeling of missing out
Example - it can lead to excessive use of technology, leading to actually missing out on real life and events
Conclusion - social media is best used in small amounts due to the few advantages it has being overvalued and overused.

The spike in fires due to gender reveal parties has significantly gone up in the past few years. 
2) Couples want drastic gender reveals, often with bad results. In 2020, a couple caused a fire in San Bernardino County due to a gender reveal party. 
3) Couples don’t do research before a reveal party. Research could include negative effects of smoke bombs, fireworks, etc. 
4) Different options to reveal the gender such as; cupcakes, poppers, and balloons filled with paint. 
5) Due research before making a big event and look at the negative consequences.

Chat GBT) 

Cause-AI originally started out as something more primitive/experimental (Siri on our phones), and morphed into being turned into tools that are utilized by  everyone today. These tools have especially become an issue being turned into AI tools to use in academia (both teaching and students). 

Solution- schools should consistently implement guidelines/tools in academia to deter using AI for assignments. An example is mandating certain assignments such as papers being uploaded electronically to get checked using plagiarism tool).

Cause: People aren’t as diligent with recycling as they should be.  Many households don’t separate trash from recyclables, and plenty of people litter.  Large companies are also often not regulated properly.

Solution: Switch to metal bottles, or even develop better materials.  Encourage more recycling and develop better ways of breaking down plastics.  Finally, implement laws to limit large corporations’ pollution.
