I want to share my ideas and cooperate with others to see my goals realized. Let's make some unconventional courses.

1. Not getting arrested in america

I think we can reduce the incarceration rates of minorities by teaching young people how to not get arrested. There are obviously problems in the system, which discriminates against poor minority youth. Changing a situation can happen two ways: changing the system that perpetuates the situation or learning and manipulating the system so that it works better for you. The main course will include economics, sociology, law, and psychology that can help us understand better the mass incarceration problem in the US. I hope it includes links to videos and simple graphics as well as empirical academic papers. The project will be to create a 50 minute course for at risk high-school age youth about how they can change the way they act and behave to reduce their chances of being arrested.
