Help Wanted Again

[deathpixie]

I have another talk, this one without powerpoint and with a strict 3-4 minute time limit and with the requirement I do research/cite sources. So something a little less light-hearted and more social education-y, I think. Or at least something serious I can get animated about. Any way, I need a topic asap for the talk on Monday and I'm stuck. Those who know me and what I'm into, any suggestions?

I cannot think of anything I could only keep to four minutes... and wouldn't bum the hell out of everyone.


Perhaps the myth of the link between drug use/abuse and creativity?

Now that I know that-- it makes my suggestion AD/HD that I made of Facebook actually make sense. You know I hate it when you trick me into doing that.

It is Anzac day - a very brief summary of Gallipoli or something?

Social media and politics - there's been a ton of activity on that here in NL lately, with people getting kicked out of our House of Assembly for being a part of a Facebook group that made death threats against the Premier, who had to delete her Twitter account when links to porn were linked to it somehow, etc. All kinds of accusations being flung and discussions about policies, how to best police such things, etc. :)

Current proposed responses to cyberbullying? Covers all sorts of interesting bases. Compelling narratives, citizen activists, nexus between possible vigilantism and police, outdated police responses, youth and the law in general, etc...
