You are a racial minority female fresh out of college who carry liberal values of being strong and independent. Due to the pandemic, you cannot find a job and are worried about your financial stability. Fortunately, you come from a middle-income family and have enough savings to get by for a few more months.

The feminist movement supports gender equality. There are many ways to achieve this goal. One way is to empower women through campaigns featuring “girl bosses” or messages that tell girls they can do anything they want. Another method is to specifically target men and holding them accountable for sexist practices (ie. demanding fathers play a more active role in childcare, telling male employers to pay genders equally).

Over the last few decades, governments have poured billions of dollars into developing military technology, resulting in rapid development. Examples include nuclear bombs, unmanned airplanes, snipping drones, etc.

Climate change and global warming is the rapid increase in temperature on Earth, caused largely by human behaviour. It is an urgent issue that needs to be solved. The two most popular ways are adaptation and prevention (mitigation). Adaptation means focusing on ways humans can live with the impacts of climate rather rather than solving the problem itself. This includes protecting and strengthening food supply, building dams in areas where floods commonly occur, and other more long term plans such as space exploration. Mitigation means putting in all efforts to prevent climate change from getting worse. This includes lowering global carbon emissions through cutting meat, using renewable energy, and encouraging more sustainable ways of living in general. The two methods vary in cost, efficacy, and scale.

There is currently a trend where parents send their children overseas for high school and, more commonly, university. For example, a child from China may attend university in the US. Usually, this involves children travelling from less developed countries to more developed countries.

Automation describes a wide range of technologies that reduce human intervention in processes; this mostly looks like artificial intelligence. Not all automation replaces human labor and jobs, but many do, including self checkouts, data collection, etc.
