Research Topic 1: The Increasing Use of AI in the Corporate World.
There have been sea changes in many sectors due to the introduction of AI, which has altered the workforce dynamics and the nature of employment. The topic’s revolutionary potential for the international labor market is why it is so important to me. There is rising worry that particular occupations may become obsolete due to AI’s ability to automate mundane jobs. Crucial features that captivate me include the ethical considerations regarding AI’s use in the workplace, its ability to provide new job opportunities, and its overall effect on employment rates. Delving into the various facets of this subject will enhance my comprehension of the impact of AI on employment and add to conversations on how society can responsibly handle these developments. In addition, it fits nicely with my interests in how technology, ethics, and community are interconnected. (Brynjolfsson & McAfee, 2014)
Research Topic 2: How renewable energy sources can help reduce the effects of climate change.
There has never been a more essential time to seek sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sources than now, given the urgency of the global climate crisis. Because I care profoundly about the earth and its future, this study’s focus on renewable energy’s role in reducing the effects of climate change speaks to me on a profound level. Solar, wind, and hydropower are examples of renewable energy sources; it is critical to study their efficacy in lowering GHG emissions and increasing environmental sustainability. Finding solutions to the problems that arise when renewable energy sources are integrated into preexisting infrastructures and making the switch to greener energy sources are two important goals of this research. In addition to being in line with my environmental principles, learning about the role of renewable energy in accelerating climate change gives me the chance to make a meaningful contribution to the world’s continuous movement towards a better, more sustainable tomorrow.

Research Topic 3: Examining the Effects of Social Media on Mental Health in the Modern Digital Era
Social media has grown ubiquitous in the modern day, impacting people’s everyday lives in significant ways through connecting them, communicating with them, and shaping their self-perception and perceptions of others. Because it deals with the confluence of technology and human wellbeing, I find this subject of social media’s effect on mental health to be quite important. Issues like cyberbullying, social comparison, and the development of unreasonable expectations are brought up by the widespread usage of social media platforms, which raises concerns about their impact on mental health. My interests in both technology and psychology lead me to wonder what effects social media use has on people’s mental health and how we might help them stay well while they’re online. Contributing to a healthier and more balanced digital society, this research has the potential to inform policies and treatments that can offset the harmful impact of social media on mental well-being. (Primack et al., 2017)
In conclusion, these three areas of study represent my many interests and concerns, which span from the social effects of new technology to issues of digital health and environmental sustainability. Every subject provides a one-of-a-kind chance to explore important questions that our global community is facing now and in the future. I hope to make a significant contribution to these varied and vital fields by conducting thorough research and analysis.
