Project HELP!!

Hi mamas! I’m taking a Global Awareness class to get a certification to ehance my degree. We are about to start a project and I need some help on what topic I should research. Let me say, I am not being lazy, I have some ideas but I want something that others may find interesting or/and something outside of my comfort to push myself to look into different things.

So here is the basic instructions “research a topic with local and global ramification, pick a region of interest and a topic to focus on”.

I am open to all ideas!! Thanks in advance.
