My project is about the psychological impact of wearing masks during the covid pandemic. In schools where masks are not required, there have been reports of students being teased for wearing a mask.

I will be covering events during the period of March 2020 through present day. This period was the beginning of the lock down and where we see the start of the mask mandate come into play.

Learning about historical events or eras allow us to learn lessons from these times that can be applied to similar future dilemmas. In this instance, we can learn about the impact from face coverings and see how we can alter them in the future to lessen the impact on individuals.

In my research on this project, I have discovered the social theme of the psychological affects that wearing masks can cause to people of all ages.

My purpose is to learn and study how the mask mandate has impacted children, teenagers, and society as a whole psychologically and how it may have effected the development of some children.
