Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

With the advancement of information access, the global community faces the growing dilemma of misinformation. The sources we rely on such as news, social media, and other media platforms play a critical role in our daily decisions, particularly in health and politics. Moreover, research has shown that misinformation has contributed to significant events such as election crises and the global pandemic. The purpose of this project is to address the global crisis of misinformation on leadership and Public health. The aim is to understand the causes and effects of this dilemma while determining more effective solutions that can create a safe, informed, and unified community. Through this project, I have learned many ways in which one can engage in leadership. This includes serving in organizations geared towards community enrichment, taking the initiative to engage in student leadership roles, and in my case, engaging in research to promote societal wellness and benefits.
