Topic 1: Mental Health Stigma
Definition of Social Cause: The stigmatization of mental disorders is so present in the current century that there are people suffering in silence to avoid being a burden for their loved ones.
The outrageous solution: People should keep everything to themselves, don't seek help so they don't burden others, and avoid talking about the topic. If the issue isn't talked about, then there isn't an issue, right?
How to Implement the Solution
Step 1. Ban all hashtags and certain key words that talk about any mental disorder or mental health support in the internet so people can't talk about it on the media.
Step 2. Stop and penalize with sanctions and jail time any psychologists or psychiatrists that attempts to talk to these people "suffering" so they are unable to seek help.
Step 3. Ensure all schools are teaching the importance of keeping all problems to themselves, so children can still be the perfect picture the medias and their parents want them to be, like in magazines (because they won't have flaws).
Step 4. Prohibit the prescription of drugs and medicine that help "cure" mental health related sicknesses, as they only worsen a person's state by giving them pills that are targeting a non existing disease.

What type of trainings and support can loved ones get when helping a family member through a mental disorder?
What help can be ensured for everyone going through mental health issues in school? In work?

How to implement the solution
Step 2. Ivy leagues are now as prestigious and equivalent as any other university
Step 3. All universities and colleges must cost the same.
Step 1. Ban and prohibit any ranking of colleges websites.
Definition of Social Cause: Education is Education, no matter how prestigious the campus, name or reputation can be. There are many people prepared that don't receive education at all.

Destroy any nice buildings that could potentially make certain universities more prestigious.
Imprison anyone that wants to give college advice, as they should be prepared alone with school.
Questions about the topic
Why do certain colleges receive more attention compared to others?
How can a college that has just started, progress to become as good as any university?
Why do some students feel pride when they get into certain colleges?
How can we decrease academic validation in students applying to the university?
Where can students learn that any education is better than no education?
Overall, although a nice topic to discuss, not a strong enough debate to create a whole modest proposal about it. The solutions to this problem are more about implementing educational resources about all universities in schools, and making education accesible to all.
Topic 2: Unrealistic expectations
for teenage girls
The outrageous solution: If the unrealistic expectations are unattainable, we can make sure to help all girls and teenager achieve these standards without feeling left out!
How to Implement the Solution
Step 1. Girls should graduate at age 12, where they can attend free preparatory camps and guidance centers to help them achieve the perfect body and look we all want them to have. They don't need education if they can live off the maintenance of wealthy men that find these girls charming and beautiful.
Step 2. Penalize all fast food joints and junk food sold in grocery stores for women. To buy these items, men must show an ID, and the portions will only suffice for one person per week. Because girls developing can have a bit more variety, carbohydrates will be permitted up to the age of 15 for women, after then they won't be able to ingest such items.
Step 3. Women need to exercise 6 days a week, with one rest day, for two hours nonstop. Every time a girl stops mid exercise they will be electrocuted with a chain that wraps around their neck.
Step 4. Girls and women over 18 years of age will be weighed by their doctors and government appointed beauty guidance counselor every month. Failure to comply to the parameter of acceptable weight given the girl's height will also result in the implementation of the trap door device in the mouth of a teenage girl, where they will only be able to eat a liquid diet and will allow them to lose weight more easily. After all, the regulations set are to help women achieve more easily these beauty standards and give them the life many used to desire.

Women can't start reproducing until they turn 28, so they live their beauty years up to their fullest potential.
Questions about the topic
Why are beauty standards so high and unachievable for teenage girls going through puberty?
Why is the media so pressed on making sure models look incredibly flawless with lots of photoshopping and unreasonable diets when real life women don't even look like in the magazines.
Why are the parents generations passing down their bad habits, disordered eating patterns and body dysmorphia genes down to their children if they have suffered so long with the same problems.
What can be actually done to lower expectations on teenage girls and showcasing the reality of the problems.
Definition of Social Cause: Teenage girls have highly unrealistic expectations that are forced upon them by societal standards, parent's expectations, unreal social media representation and many other situations. These girls go their way out to look like these models and photoshopped magazine cover girls that they develop eating and mental disorders.
