The purpose of this research is to inform people about the poverty rate in India and about artists who have dedicated their time to helping raise awareness of poverty.

Hansert, Sophia and Kylee Hodgson- “The Disability Arts Movement” (session 3B) An explanation of what is the Disability Arts Movement and how it has affected the disability community. The presentation will also include art created by both disabled arts and the students presenting. The art will be a breakdown of what the disability arts movement is and how the Disability Movement has impacted the lives of disabled people and disabled artists. Harlan, Lachlan- “How to Overcome Your Fear of the Dark” (session 1B) My project is a free verse poetry piece. It describes the feelings of loneliness and confusion, and has slight motivational aspects to try and give it a melancholic but hopeful vibe.

Scholarly studies are put in place to measure factors of how individuals initiated their use of opioid drugs, substance abuse in youth factors, and a relationship between cigarettes and marijuana use. Results for initiating drug use depended on factors such as being homeless or unemployed. For initiation in the youth, results concluded that many of them had tried tobacco and alcohol before doing harder drugs. Last results supported the reverse gateway hypothesis in which marijuana is a gateway to tobacco instead of opioid drug.
