10. The Honors Study Topic, “The Paradox of Affluence, Choices, Challenges, and Consequences” asks us to do something in our own little ways to change the contradictions of society where some have an overabundance of resources and others can hardly make ends meet. The choice is ours to help the least fortunate despite the fact that we are constrained in our resources, but the little we can do to help will go a long way.
