Can I Leave Now: When is it Right to End Your Citizenship?
This essay was recognized as a second-round finalist in the national Elie Wiesel Foundation Prize in Ethics. Titled "Can I Leave Now? When is it Right to End Your Citizenship?", the work examines the ethical social contract between a state and its people, specifically analyzing when a citizen's obligation to their country ends. Drawing on the philosophical frameworks of Socrates and Confucius, as well as personal experiences during the political shifts in Hong Kong, the paper argues that a citizen’s primary duty is to hold their government accountable. However, the analysis concludes that if the government breaks its own laws and fails to provide for its citizens, the individual has a moral responsibility to prioritize the safety of their loved ones and seek a new life elsewhere.

This two-part research project investigated public apathy toward the unhoused population in San Diego. The first phase focused on establishing empirical evidence of social apathy, while the second phase analyzed the underlying causes through the sociological frameworks of functionalism and conflict theory. This research provided a structural look at social indifference and the systemic factors that contribute to the marginalization of vulnerable populations.
