The book “Nonstop Metropolis” shows different kinds of maps to represent different perspectives. For example it brings together musicians, artists, photographers etc. It also brings out certain problems happening in a certain area.All you have to find a topic and map its awareness in which I will be doing. My map will be showing all the homeless in New York City. The reason why I am doing this is because they are part of the community and I want to raise awareness for them, it can be hard living like that almost 78,000 are just living in New York City alone.They deal with a lot already as it is and they do not even have a voice in society because of their current situation which is one of the many reasons why this topic appealed to me. As I was walking home I would see so many homeless people on the ground begging for money, this motivated me to show how it looks on a map to see how many people in our own city need some assistance. I am thinking if I should focus on the borough I am living in or the whole five boroughs itself.  First I will be drawing a map of New York City or the bronx to start off. Then I will have a legend and draw the different areas in which a lot of the homeless live a different color so it can stand out. Then I would like to draw the different areas that can help the homeless for instance shelters, charities, programs and inns all provided to help the homeless. This is how the outline will look like.

The Cellphone Evolution Revolution

For as long as I can remember, cellphones have always been an aesthetic requirement and a life necessity. Since the time the cellphone first was introduced it has helped us in major ways such as being able to make plans with friends on the go, plan business appointments, call family and broaden our communication horizons. Cellphones have evolved quickly since their first conception and I can only wonder what’s next? We can already do things like Facetime to see and speak to people or Facebook where we can discover new friends and communities while also reconnecting with old friends and family that you probably don’t see as often as you’d like. But will there be a time where we will outgrow the actual device itself? Will Cellphones eventually become the next computer? I propose that we will in fact see these developments and quite possibly even sooner than you might think. We already see the usage of VR in video games like the PlayStation and Oculus so it isn’t too farfetched to think VR might become the next cellphone while Cellphones have evolved to the point where they work just as well as some computer systems. Lindsay Boyajian, CMO of Augment, was quoted saying “In the not so distant future, we won’t have mobile phones. They will be replaced with mixed reality headsets. These headsets will allow us to transition seamlessly from reality to augmented reality to virtual reality depending on our needs and the situation.” I think this is just the start of seeing the next advancements in our technology and only a piece of how the cellphone will eventually no longer need to be a personal carry-on accessory.

Research Proposal

My research essay will focus on mental illness and its effects over the past 10 years. I find this topic interesting and highly important because I have seen people who have struggled with mental disorder such as autism or bipolar. Seeing people with these types of conditions is devastating because they have to live with those conditions and it will be hard for them to interact with other people. I have recognized that people with these conditions are treatable. I can imagine people going through these types of predicaments, which are not easy especially a loved one that suffers through mental illness. Now the question is which kind of therapy works best for mental illness? What will be the after affect of the therapy? Can the intensity of mental illness determine if it can be cured or not and how does it affect our daily lives?  While doing my research I’m trying to figure out whether or not mental illness been rising in recent years. I believe that there are treatments out there that can maintain these illnesses under control. I would like to know what the rate percentage of mental illnesses in the United States. To be more specifically in the Bronx. The reason why I’m fascinated about learning more about mental illness because some parts of my family suffered from depression and myself as well which was hard to deal with overtime during the previous years. In my map, I will like to include what certain parts of New York have the most people with mental illness and finding the best solution for people that have these situations.   

childhood obesity

My research proposal is on childhood obesity, according to the OCCD report one in six children suffers from obesity, it can also have an impact on child’s physical and emotional health, children who are overweight have the tendency to remain obese through out their adulthood. Whiles researching I found out that poor diet, lack of physical activity, boredom, stress, marketing and lunch options are all associated with obesity. In the united states and across many various countries children suffers  obesity, using mapping in the islands nations in the pacific, such as Nauru and the cook islands appears to have the highest obesity rates among children ages between 5 to 19 year’s of age, but African countries like Ethiopia and Burkina Faso appears to have the lowest rate of obesity in children. In the united states the percentage of obesity is 18.5 which has affected 13.7 million children and adolescent as well, looking at japan ,Mexico, new Zealand and Hungary they also have the lowest in rate of obesity, but in the united states it has tripled since 1970. What I found out most interesting is that there’s soo many fast food restaurant which is cheaper and the most healthy ones are so expensive that people cant afford. My suggestion is that we should encourage our children to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables whole-grains, drink allots of low-fat milk, eat lean meat, fish and beans to get protein we should also discourage our children in eating sweets. My question is why are healthy foods expensive if they want to reduce obesity. Secondly why do they still allow some ad on tv that are not healthy for children. Thirdly why are there so many fast

Mental health crisis

My research and what I going to map is about mental health crisis. The part that I going to indicate on the map will be the Bronx NY. The reason I chose this issue is because in New York there are many people who are dealing with mental health crisis and they do not have the adequate help to deal with this situation. I will focus on the Bronx area because it is the place where I live and every day, I see people destroyed because of mental problems and ended up in drugs. In this street I see different types of people with this problem women, men, youth boys and girls looking for solution of their problems in wrong places. This shows me that the health department no matter how much they say they are not doing is not enough for this people. Unfortunately, many of these people are going to other types of help. Drugs and alcohol make this problem worse. These people need more medical attention, places where they can be to treat their problems, supporting not only from their family also helps from professionals who are treating their situation. NY needs more professionals staff to identify the people who need help with crisis Mental health on time. There are many people who have mental problems but because they do not have the right medical attention these types of problems are some of the reasons why this country pass through for serious situations.

Research Proposal.

My proposal is to talk about “organic food”. Some of the advantages of eating organic food is that it does not use herbicides or chemical pesticides.Take care of the environment by not using chemicals, toxic wastes, or air, soil or water pollution with products that can affect biodiversity. Animals do not receive antibiotics or hormone and it is better for human health. While I was doing my research I also realized that organic food has its disadvantages as a shorter shelf life of food due to lack of chemical preservatives.The products are much more expensive than the traditional ones, due to the shortage of supply, due to production times, and due to the lower density of crops or offspring. Many people prefer organic nutrition because they have many benefits, “Taking care of the planet while taking care of your health”. People who do this style of eating is not inhibited from eating things they like, since everything that has been cultivated and processed naturally. This is a good topic to talk about because it can give many people information about how to take care of their health through what they eat and how they can take care of the planet. To carry out this research I plan to read different articles that can help me understand different people’s points of views, advantages and disadvantages of organic food.
To carry out my article I will carry out an investigation on the percentage of people who prefer organic food and I will look for graphics to show it.

Research proposal: After School Programs

After school programs located in the Bronx during the past 10 years. after school programs are beneficial for educational development. Most of the time after the school bell rings at the end of the day, you don’t know what your kids are doing. After school program keep the child entertained as well as busy. It prevents the children from becoming addicted to Tv, or phones, or even preventing the child to get in trouble. It also help the kids to control theirs behaviors. And if we go deep in the topic  we have more 14 million students leave school every afternoon and have nowhere to go, since they do not have access to affordable, after school opportunities. One of the things that I would like to know during the process of doing the paper is to find out where founding are coming from, and why some of the school don’t offer free after school programs.

My Research Proposal

I want to know how does the new green deal help to reduce air pollution as to do with affecting our health problems.my idea is trying to find out if  this organization can helps the Manhattan population or Bronx pollution reduce health problems . for people that have asthma and for people who have lungs cancer. this is important to know because is that we want to lower health insurance rate make sure that citizens are healthy and also it is very expensive to be  buying medications many citizen cannot afford to keep on buying medications and many aren’t fortunate to buy medications it is a struggle and some people don’t have health insurance. I am going to find my research articles in the Hostos library encyclopedia, I am going to use google to find both of my media articles and I will create a virtue map online free from mapping on line.com.
