blindness. When we are told to pay attention to a certain task, we are unaware if we are focusing on all aspects of the task or our complete surroundings. Thus by conducting a visual research project, participants will have the opportunity to identify any changes or perceptions they see while watching a provided clip and answer questions that correlate to what they are watching. Particularly paying attention to college students, who assume that multitasking is “easy”. Martino, Loanne, Edgar Naen and Ana Paula Torresbaca- “Speak Up for your Rights” (session 6C) In the workplace, several challenges remain to achieve equality between men and women. To adapt to a male world, women had to develop behaviors that gender stereotypes have transformed into gendered qualities. Inspired by the play Collateral Bodies written by Erin Rachel Kaplan, our creative video project has the goal to make our audience aware that women are still discriminated against in the workplace. Three women who faced discrimination in the workplace shared their testimony in such a powerful way with us. We are thankful and proud of them for their frankness, and courage to contribute to our project.

I researched the pros and cons of marijuana and it’s status on being legal or illegal in different state in the United States. I talk about the health and physical effects of marijuana. I compare the effects and laws on marijuana to alcohol and how alcohol plays a role in our Society. I think marijuana would be a great medical tool for people who can't afford needed pharmaceuticals. I think it’s marijuana turn to be legalized.
