From the top of my head, I would think of looking into make up production's effect on society.
====What really captures my attention is that due to our own insecurities, we make many animals suffer from the product testing. We are dependent on nature, and mostly forget that we are part of it. We see ourselves as a more prominent species, but we are still a species. We are smarter and have the capability of doing amazing things- HECK we made it to the Moon!- but when something small like our own self consciousnesses, and worry of being accepted into society, makes animals, the environment and other people suffer, I wonder, is it worth it? This may not not be a big factor in our huge global environmental problem, and more of a media issue, but it takes up a small part of the big picture. I have always been fascinated by how self conscious people are, and the lengths they are willing to go to meet society's towering expectations. They even know that many of the chemicals might be potentially dangerous, and still use it. In a sense this interest could be a journey to self discovery, but mostly it could lead just showing people there inner beauty :) ====

 A bigger environmental issue i want to work on is the effect of electronics, after they have been thrown away. We go through a lot of electronic devices, and they have to go somewhere And to think they go to a place were electronics are foreign I want to do this because I love electronics like everyone else, but know, everything needs to come in proportion. SO DON'T THROW OUT YOUR CURRENT PHONE FOR THE NEWEST ONE- GOSH THAT ANNOYS ME SO MUCH.

 * x || __**Attitudes**__ || __**Skills**__ || __**Knowledge**__ ||
 * __**Issues**__ || I once read a quote by Albert Einstein saying, "There are two things that are infinite. The universe and human stupidity." I completely agree with this quote because that is why we have our issues in our world. We don't see the truth. Or maybe it is that we don't want to see it.The world id full of problems, and we choose not to change them. I know that we can, but our own selfishness, and greed gets in the way. For example, the extinction of animals. We now it is a problem, but we say that, "Oh I'll help later", or "It is not my problem". We all know that is not the truth. Somewhere in our minds we know that animals ( or any other issue) is important, but we are ignorant, and lazy, and choose to ignore it. I feel like humans have so much potential, but show nothing for it;even when they know there is a benefit at the end of all the trouble. || I feel like the skills we need are idea's or creative people. I feel like we also need people with more ambition to go through with their ideas, instead of giving up. || I have to know about advertising, physiology techniques to encourage people to help, information and statuesque, people to help. If you want something done, you need people, and to get people, you need to be persuasive. ||
 * __**Research**__ || Knowledge is an important part in a movement. I have said before that to get something done, you need a lot of people to contribute. And a way to get them to contribute is by using hard facts. This would appeal to their logic, and leads them to think that they need to make a change, and this problem is real. Research and knowing your topic shows people that you want the outcome of this cause, and you know that it is possible to get it. || To research you need patience, and organization. This is because it takes along time to know if your goal is possible, and worth it. And with all that information you need to be able to organize everything! || For research, you need to know how you can get a reaction out of people, what information is important and how to put the information together. This helps us prepare for the action. ||
 * __**Actions**__ || Again, my opinion on if we want something done, we need people, and people need encouragement. This is where it steps in. Words, information, facts, history, emotions all change peoples opinion and encourage them to help. We just need to inspire them. || For this step, you need confidence and ambition. You need to set your goal into action ||= You need to know your information inside and out so you can explain points, and support your ideas. ||

 * __**Issues**__ || Issues are the reason why humans have their sense of ambition, and curiosity. We desire things that are far greater than we could ever think of, and when we achieve something of that dream, we get caught up in the lust of success, and end up ruining the existence around us. We also have a humanity, so we look into the consequences of the actions we have favored and helped to spread. In a sense we may be hopeless, and mindless greedy consumers, with heart made of nothing but self entwined mirrors and selfish instincts, which will surely be the end of our brave world we live in; but we also have the beauty of our souls, curiosity, ambition, power to fight, and the capability to love the most awful things unconditionally. We might be great fools, but we are great fools that are willing to change if someone will show us how. || The skills that are required to recognize issues is an open mind and a ambition to change the issue || The knowledge you would need to know to recognize issues is psychology, social interactions and philosophy ||
 * __**Research**__ || Research is a crucial part of any change or movement. How else will you know what you are talking about? If you like your subject everything should be fun. || Patience, and interest and ambition are important qualities to keep the information flowing and knowing the knowledge you have received. || The only knowledge you really need for this part is yourself. You need to know if you procrastinate, and fix your problem ||
 * __**Actions**__ || Action is the most part because it get s your message to people who can change something to change the situation you want to change. || Public speaking- Confidence is a key way to get people to appreciate your topic, and see you as very serious about it ||= Psychology- So you know what people want, and how they may react to different things, and then adjust your presentation them ||

 * __**Issues**__ || An issue needs to be picked out carefully. Several different factors play a role into choosing a good issue: Importance, reachable and personal involvement. The issue needs to be important or else why would you be doing a project on it? The issue needs to be reachable, or else why would you be putting your time and money into it? And are you personally involved in the project? How much are you willing to do because that can make or break the project. I personally choose the issue about the decrease of bees in our society because I was aware of the effects if they did go extinct and was extremely moved, so that is why i choose that personal subject. || The skills needed to find an issue is the ability to find an issue that is important to you and the environment; or self evaluation, or the ability to evaluate. || The knowledge needed to find a good issue is self knowledge and the knowledge of life and human theory, so that one can identify a crucial issue when it is presented ||
 * __**Research**__ || Research may be one of the most important yet the most gruelling task in any process of change yet I am aware through my own personal process that it is extremely necessary. This is were you accumulate the information to support the importance of the change you are pursuing. || The skills needed for research is persistence, the ability to analyze information, and the ability to apply the information to your scenario and issue. || The knowledge of human interests may be important when filtering information to use in your campaign, because knowing this information and using it may increase the chance of someone helping your cause. ||
 * __**Actions**__ || Action is the movement towards the goal you set to an issue you wanted to change. Your action should target specific people at a time, and use specific advertising techniques to bring the message to that audience. in my case I decided to target teenager or people of my age group to solve the problem due to the fact that teens in general have a lot of money to spend, and we might as well have them spend it on something good. || Public speaking and perseverance are the most important aspects for this part of the project. The ability to covey your information and keep on believing that your campaign will make a change will help you succeed in this part of the project. ||= The knowledge of the information you gained during the research portion of your project is basically the only knowledge you need. All the rest is up to the way you convey information. ||
