Eli Didier poses a series of questions about various social issues in the United States. Some of the questions asked include whether beauty standards differ between countries based on media influence, if race affects definitions of success or criminal justice outcomes, and how factors like culture, business interests, media, and abortion access shape behaviors and perceptions related to relationships, health, immigration, and drug use.
