AP Seminar Capstone Project

Forced Perception

Research Question: How has media influenced young Americans (ages 20-40) into submitting to other’s opinions instead of expressing their own?


Problem Statement: Psychologically, we gain feelings of manipulation and have a fear of not getting the approval from our peers, which makes other’s opinions dictate choices we make.


Young adults fall into this manipulation due to lack of approval from those around them.
