America has the second highest cancer rate for women and ninth for men.

I know that through immigration music has developed different popular styles. Did any changes in government regulations for immigration and equality give different music styles a chance to become accepted?

Society

America’s population comes from immigrants around the world. Did different music styles from these countries become popular through people of those ethnicities, or through people who grew to love that style?

I know there are animal cruelty laws. What are they? What is the sentencing in animal cruelty cases? What impact does PITA and animal groups have on legislation?

1.

War

I know war can leave veterans changed both mentally and physically.

I wonder if the problem is getting better.

How many of our veterans suffer from post-war conditions?

War cost money and a lot of it. I wonder if military funding has raised or lowered in recent years.

How much of our taxes go toward wars and our military?

2.

Right to Choose

I know abortions are common. I think most women are unharmed from abortions. Was this always the case?

Planned parenthood provides several services.

I think their main services are checks ups and preventive care.

Does the federal government fund those procedures?

War is very controversial to a lot of people. I wonder how society feels about the military budget. How do Americans view our military and the wars we have recently participated in?

A woman’s right to choose is a heated topic recently. I think its view largely religious. How has the view on a woman’s right to choose changed?

3.

Food Stamps

Food Stamps feeding millions of people in the united states. If food stamps were not available what would happen to the health of the American people?

Many people complain about the fact they must pay for other people to eat. How much of our taxes go toward food stamps?

We have many men and woman controlling our military and its decisions.

I wonder how many governmental employees were once military.

What are there stances on military size and war decisions?

I know that the government doesn’t fund planned parenthood directly. I’ve seen news on planned parenthood being defunded and other related topics. What actions are the us government taking toward the topic?

I know food stamps is a heated topic but recently. I wonder what else food stamps provide.

What has our government had to say and what actions have they taken?

sample: Dogs

I know many disagree with food stamps. I wonder how does our society see food stamps.

Are the views changing?

NEW Connection

I have heard but am not certain, that some animal cruelty sentencing is harsher than child abuse sentencing.

Does society value pets more than kids?

I know America spends more on its military than any other country. We spend Billions of dollars overseas can that money be better spent helping American citizens?

I know religion is one of the main reasons for anti-abortion organizations and people. Should religion be a factor for governmental decisions?

I know millions of people are fed off food stamps or at least helped by them. How many lives do food stamps safe each year?

I know there are animal cruelty laws. What are they? What is the sentencing in animal cruelty cases? What impact does PITA and animal groups have on legislation?

Nutrition is very important for health. A good recipe for weight loss is 80% diet and 20% exercise. Obesity is at an all-time high, and cutting back on processed foods would cure it.

Nutrition is a very big economic industry.

Everywhere you look on TV or on Social Media there are ads for some gimmick to help you lose weight and look better. I wonder how much is spent yearly on nutritional ads?

There are constant ads for equipment that you can buy for your home, workouts on video, and gym memberships. Which is the most for your money in comparison?

Society has a love/hate relationship with nutrition. Is eating healthy more expensive than processed foods?

And how much does eating processed foods really cost us, health wise?

When celebrities promote their workouts in the monthly issue of Shape Magazine, everyone seems to be trying it. Are there any workouts that have real staying power? And are there some that show results before the one doing them give up?

I know the USDA regulates nutritional guidelines. But what qualifies a food as nutritional? To me it seems like Lean Cuisine, for example, are not all that nutritious.

Cardio as well as strength training are good for your heart, which helps you live longer. Just how much exercise increases longevity, and by how much is it increased?

I assume that the government must regulate equipment that is sold, and claims that are made somehow, but honestly, it’s not something I have even given real thought to.

How else does government have their noses in exercise?

Ads featuring cats are a real eye catcher for someone like me. They portray them as super sweet and only show the cutest of the cute. Do animals help to sell products that have nothing to do with animals?

Government tracks and regulates the sale of cats.

They must be maintained in sanitary conditions. Is there a true tracking system? Or does the government just take them at their word?

I am aware that immigration effects the economy in the United States. Are American workers willing to work the jobs that immigrants are doing here? Which group of workers does this have the biggest impact on?

Americans are largely split on their views about immigration. What percentage of Americans feel that immigration effects the crime rate?

Has crime increased since early immigration?

Heroin use has increased across all income levels.

Why is there a more diverse group of people using heroin? Is the war on drugs economically working?

Heroin doesn’t just effect the addict it effects the whole family. What kind of emotional effects does it have on children? How does society view a heroin addict?

There are laws and immigration procedures that affect a person seeking a visa or green card. What kinds of programs are there for immigrants suffering from mental illness? Are immigrants denied access to mental health care?

Research Notes 3.Legalization of Marijuana

The idea of legalizing marijuana for medical reasons is viewed favorably by many Americans, including members of Congress.

How long has marijuana been used for health reasons? How does smoking marijuana effect your mental health?

I know jobs are created in states where marijuana is legal. I wonder how much money a dispensary brings to an area. I also wonder if there is more tourist to areas where marijuana is legal.

The use of marijuana has a large impact on society.

How does regular use of marijuana affect school, work, and social life? In general how does society view people that smoke marijuana?

There are ten states where marijuana has been legalized. Why are some states still opposed to the idea? If it was legal in every state how would it effect drug trafficking?

I wonder if it was legal in every state if the use of hardcore drugs would decrease.
