Share-enting is the act of parents publicising content of or about their children on internet platforms. The content creators benefit financially on the children’s success. All celebrities are open to scrutiny and opinions of the public, but is it morally okay to let your children be the subject to this negative environment? Within this project we will argue the negatives and positives of share-enting, and whether ultimately in the future it will become a completely toxic atmosphere or if parents will change the way they show they’re children and will use the platform for good to positively benefit the child.

The Future of British Governance
To glimpse Britain now would be a snapshot, a still representation of an adapting, ever-changing organism. An organism made up of its component nations, of its peoples and their cultures, their businesses and companies which bolster its economy. It is also so much more. Britain is a shared history which stretches back as a state for 300 years. So what does the future hold?
What will Britain look like in 2071? Will there be such a thing as Britain? Will the Conservative Party continue to spread joy and happiness to a grateful population? Was Star Trek: The Next Generation correct in its prediction about Britain? Dear reader, an adventure awaits.
Effects and impacts of AI in healthcare
Our project is about Artificial Intelligence. We talk about what AI is, how it is used in the healthcare system currently, how it could be used in the future, and we also discuss any negatives and positives that may come out of it. We created our own survey to discover the public’s opinions and based our presentation on the results. Our report briefly talks about the history of AI and explains how AI can be used realistically in the future, but also focuses on the pros and cons of AI in healthcare. Will it be for the better? Or will it prove to be fatal?
Here is our powerpoint presentation.
Overpopulation
Our group project is on the topic of Overpopulation. In our project, we will discuss what is overpopulation, the causes and the solutions. Often when we hear about overpopulation the first thing we think of is China one-child policy we will be looking into that further as well. We have based our group scenario on this topic and if it was introduced into the UK and what the consequences would be. Would it be ethical? Would it even be lawful?
Future of Animals – Group 2
We will be considering not only what has led the animals down a path leading towards extinction in the future, but what this future may look like. Between relentless and cruel poaching to destroying environments consequently creating habitats now incapable of providing and supporting their native species. Climate change is also having a significant impact on animals’ habitats, for example the arctic is suffering immensely leaving the habitats of polar bears insufficient with nowhere to live, hunt or rest consequently decreasing their rates of survival. Perhaps it’s not ‘what their future will look like?’ but ‘will they have one?’
Virtual Reality and Body Image
We will be exploring Virtual Reality in the future and the impact that it could have on body image and mental health. Within the next 60-70 years VR could become a massive part of everyday life and people could become dependent on it. If people could design 3D avatars of themselves, would they make themselves ‘perfect’ and how would that affect them back in the real world? There could be many issues that come from an individual being able to change what they dislike about themselves, for example, body image issues, mental health problems and even addiction to VR.
Speed of the Internet
The speed of the internet has affected many areas of our society in the modern world. Due to how fast information can get around because of the internet we have seen a rise of misinformation and fake news across social media platforms. The internet has also impacted our attention spans over the last ten years, which has had an impact on things such as the length of music. The internet has also seen the creation of cancel culture online, meaning the internet allows big groups people to quickly target people and attack them. These three sections have all been affect by the speed of the internet and will continue to do so as we head into the future.
