Three Narratives

1. The first narrative I'd like to explore is the role of women in New York city. I am drawing inspiration from the recent hearings of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and nomination of Brett Kavanaugh and the result that this whole situation has had on our country. I think that I'd specifically focus on this newfound idea of how men "should now be afraid" around women and what that means for both men and women and for people who agree and disagree with that sentiment and why. The highly liberal nature of the city may make it difficult to get an even comparison of people for and against Kavanaugh and their thoughts on the issue. Looking into the effects of the Women's Walkout against Kavanaugh may be interesting in order to get some statistics on the beliefs women (and men) in the city and the detriments of their leaving their workspaces. 
2. The second possible narrative I'd like to explore is the environmental impact of the city. I've had interest in this topic for a few years, but the recent scientific finding that we have until about 2030 to reduce the effects of climate change has spiked my interest. It's intriguing to me that only about 100 companies have been the cause of about 70% of climate change, but we must try to change it at a more micro level if these companies refuse to cooperate. I believe the difficulty in exploring this idea is the speed at which New York City moves and how most of its residents are just looking for the quickest and most convenient way to get things done, whether that be grocery shopping, going out to eat, saving water, recycling, etc. This speed may be the cause of many avoidances of sacrifices made for the good of the Earth.  
3. My third narrative would tackle the idea of religion in the scape of New York City. As I am a Coptic Orthodox Christian, I'll be focusing specifically on the religion of Christianity, as I wouldn't want to put words in other religions' mouths. Extremists across many cultures do the injustice of giving their entire culture a bad name (example: extremist Muslims, KKK members, etc), I'll explore how many so called "Christians" do the same for Christianity and cause many people, especially those in liberal communities such as NYC, have come to hate and mock the idea of Christianity. Difficulty in this discussion might come up in gaining people's interest in Christianity at all as they already seem to have a preconceived idea of what it is and what it tries to achieve. 

I am not yet sure of specific locations for each of these discussions to be held. I am still determining locations, but I genuinely think all of them could be observed in almost any area of the city.
