  • 7: An unorthodox solution to America’s immigration problem.
    May 29 2024
    America’s immigration system is broken. Lawmakers across the political spectrum agree that the current situation is unsustainable, and there has been much debate about how to reform our immigration system. Most of the dialogue centers around restrictive policy, but “closing the border” or building a wall won’t prove effective long-term. In order to successfully reform our immigration system, policy needs to address the reasons why immigrants are coming to America in such large numbers, and plan for the reality that immigrants will find their way here even if towering walls are built and more border patrol officers are hired. An immigration system that embraces the economic necessity of foreign labor is the most effective, humane, and logical way to lower the number of migrants requiring support from the American public and solve the inconsistent, messy process of asylum and residency that we currently employ.

  • 6: Overstimulation.
    May 16 2024
    Episode 6 is about overstimulation. I think it’s a common experience among young people today, and it continues to affect me despite my trying over and over again to limit distractions. I’m using my experience as a starting point to explore how digital devices affect our attention spans and whether the problem of overstimulation can be solved.

  • 5: The overlooked driver behind student protests.
    May 7 2024
    I’ve been closely following on-campus demonstrations related to the conflict taking place in Gaza, especially at my alma mater UCLA. I was a graduating senior the last time dissent rocked campus — in 2020 with Black Lives Matter — and the similarities between the two protests have me thinking more broadly about why each of the movements caught on like wildfire among students, and more generally with Generation Z.
