There are two reasons for which __Beat Boxing__ is significant to the community (-ies). The first reason that __Beat Boxing__ is significant to the community is because music is a part of every day life and everyone experiences it in one way shape or form, by showing what this type of music is like, it expands the knowledge of those who wish to know more and grabs the interest of many individuals.

__TOPIC #2__ A second topic of interest to me is __Black and White Photography__. There are two reasons that __Black and White Photography__ is significant to me. The first reason that __Black and White Photography__ is significant to me is because I also consider myself a very artistic individual and photography has always been an interest to me since I was young. The second reason that __Black and White Photography__ is significant to me is because I like to travel a lot and taking pictures of what I see is just one of the things I do while I am there and when I take these pictures I feel as if I were to take them in black and white filter it would make the picture more breathtaking.

The second reason that __the appearance of individuals__ is significant to me is because I find it interesting the way people treat each other based on what they look like, if I were to switch the appearance of some students, how would they be treated differently? How would they do in school when they stand out? There are two reasons for which __the appearance of individuals__ is significant to the community (-ies). The first reason that __the appearance of individuals__ is significant to the community of is people care about how they are treated, when someone is dressed or looks a little different the rest of the people around them why is that the people around them may pick on them or hurt them?

 * __Phase II__:**

__TOPIC #1 Beat Boxing__ is singularly significant because I consider myself a very musical individual and I have not had much experienced or knowledge about this type of music and it interests me. I anticipate following the (Internship, Social Action, Community Service, Product Development) project option. While conducting my research, I will be asking several questions. However, there is one overarching question which drives or compels my research and project. My overriding investigation asks: How does beat boxing affect music today? I identify two short-term goals and two long-term goals for my project: Short... 1. Gathering enough information to build up my research for my topic. 2. Have a connection to the topic, I am not familiar to this kind of music so finding a connection would help my interest grow. Long... 1. Incorporate beat boxing in the music I listen to 2. Have a further understanding and like to the music that I did not have before. The point of my project is to demonstrate/evidence/learn how interesting different kinds of music can be played and listen to.

__TOPIC #2 Black and White Photography__ is singularly significant because a lot can be told by looking at a photograph, by having a black and white picture shown, it not only adds depth but also it tells a story that can not be told in words. I anticipate following the (Internship, Social Action, Community Service, Product Development) project option. While conducting my research, I will be asking several questions. However, there is one overarching question which drives or compels my research and project. My overriding investigation asks: How does making a photograph black and white add or intensify the picture? I identify two short-term goals and two long-term goals for my project: Short... 1. observe different photos in different colors or tints to see how it affects the photo as a whole. 2. Observe how peers react to different photo's and what they think of how the tint affects the picture. Long... 1. Understand when using black and white filter is more affective and when to not use black and white filter. 2. The point of my project is to demonstrate/evidence/learn the importance of black and white photography and how it changes the views of how a picture is looked at.

__TOPIC #3 The appearance of individuals__ is singularly significant because being difficult or mean to someone else is not making the world a better place, by judging other people based on what they look like is wrong and hurts people, I feel like it is unfair and I want to try to change that. I anticipate following the (Internship, Social Action, Community Service, Product Development) project option. While conducting my research, I will be asking several questions. However, there is one overarching question which drives or compels my research and project. My overriding investigation asks: Why are adolescents so judgmental of their peers? I identify two short-term goals and two long-term goals for my project: Short... 1. To gain knowledge of why people judge each other 2. To stop people from judging each other based on looks Long... 1. To make people think about how they treat other people and make a difference 2. Change the way people think about other people. The point of my project is to demonstrate/evidence/learn... that people are people and even thought they may seem like they act or are something, they can be totally different.

=
=======================================

Assumptions__ are singularly significant because negatively assuming things about people is not good. Making negative assumptions about someone hurts the one being judged. If this was avoided then the self esteem of those who were being judged would be better. Additionally, the attitude of those who are judging will not be as negative towards other people. I anticipate following the Social Action project option.
 * __TOPIC #3

While conducting my research, I will be asking several questions. However, there is one overarching question which drives or compels my research and project. My overriding investigation asks: Why are adolescents so judgmental of their peers?

I identify two short-term goals and two long-term goals for my project: Short... 1. To gain a larger understanding of how adolescents think and why they choose to judge and assume things about other students 2. To find a way to portray how people feel when they assume and judge people they way they do.

Long... 1. to prevent people from assuming things about one another by showing that it hurts to wrongly assume and people feel self conscious enough as it is. 2.

The point of my project is to demonstrate/evidence/learn... that people feel bad when they are assuming about one another, by telling people not to judge or assume each other based on their looks then they will not be as self concious and they will have better self esteem along with the people who assume they will have more of an open mind.**

__TOPIC #4 Track__ is singularly significant because I would always like to improve at my events and by doing research on it makes me see what works and how I can drastically improve so I can meet my goals. I anticipate following the (Internship, Social Action, Community Service, Product Development) project option. While conducting my research, I will be asking several questions. However, there is one overarching question which drives or compels my research and project. My overriding investigation asks: How can I improve my time and those who also wish to improve their times? I identify two short-term goals and two long-term goals for my project: Short... 1. Find reasons why someone may not run so fast or wishes to fun faster. 2. Experiment with how to improve and test this on the track or in person with other student runners Long... 1. To improve times and help those who also wish to run better. 2. To gain more knowledge of the material so that later in live i can possibly coach or help those who wish to run better. The point of my project is to demonstrate/evidence/learn how athletes should run faster and improve their speed, endurance, and or agility.
