Petra,
Really nice work on your mind map! It was detailed and gave me a good insight into your thoughts on the issue–I hope it is helping you work through them, too.
I noticed that you talked a lot about kids and youth in the mind map. That made me wonder: maybe you could focus in this incredibly broad but important topic by focusing on how opioids are affecting kids and teenagers in particular. I also saw that you basically had a two-way split in the “perspectives” portion: people who have been or are addicted, and people who are trying to help. Which side do you want to bring to light in your project? Lastly, I also saw how your “change” section was divided into three parts, but it really could be two: treatment, then prevention and education which you showed as strongly linked. Which of those two is your end goal for change? I think that’s a good question to figure out so that you know which direction to take your project in.
