I chose the question, “How does social media influence the views and decision-making of individuals?” because I have personally witnessed how powerful and persuasive these platforms can be in shaping people’s opinions and actions. As someone who has worked in the medical field for over 20 years, I’ve seen patients make serious health decisions based on misinformation they encountered online rather than facts provided by professionals. During the COVID-19 pandemic, for example, I had friends and family members reject medical advice due to viral social media posts, even when those posts lacked any scientific basis. This experience sparked my interest in understanding how social media influences thought processes, especially in areas like health, politics, and social justice. I find it fascinating—and concerning—how quickly opinions can shift based on what’s trending. This topic is important to me because I want to better understand how digital environments affect critical thinking and personal judgment.
Hypothesis:
Frequent exposure to social media content increases the likelihood that individuals will adopt popular online opinions, even when those opinions conflict with factual information or their prior beliefs.

Have you ever done something out of pure emotion. Or done something without thinking about any consequences. That’s called impulsive decision making, a lot of people struggle with impulsive decision making. The common person tends to act without thinking or do something out of pure emotion often leading to consequences for the action. Considering most of the common people have made impulsive decisions it’s very difficult to experiment the why what or how the process happens. If I were to run an experiment to study the questions of impulsive decision making. I would question the various circumstances. Impulsive decision making coordination with consequences are connected by the outlying circumstances of the situation. With this hypothesis I would do a survey, specifically a simple random sampling survey to get a large variety of a population. In the survey I would ask what the circumstances where of the situation where the individual made an impulsive decision then ask if they received consequences for there actions. If so the severity of the consequences.
