Conversation Starters – AI130 A

Did you know that 800,000 people die from suicide around the world every year? According with the World Health Organization, the rate of suicide has increased by 45% in the last years. Nevertheless, most people do not know about the causes, the high rate of suicide, or that treatments exist to deal with this significant problem. Do you know the causes of this important issue? Do you think that it is important to get better knowledge about symptoms and treatments for suicidal thoughts? (Psychology, Agustina Pirez Itzaina)

Conversation Starters – AI130 A

There are many types of blood groups. All of us have his/her own blood type. Some people believe that our behaviors or characteristics depends on it. In other words, if two people have the same blood type, it means both of them have the same behaviors or characteristics. Do you support this theory? Why or why not?  (Laboratory Medicine, Abdulla Munir)

Conversation Starters – AI130 B

In chemical engineering, engineers always use huge amounts of chemicals. They need some special things such as pipelines to prevent against corrosion, huge warehouses to store chemicals, and special ways to save the environment from them because some of them are dangerous materials. However, the problem is that all of these things are expensive. How can we make special, high quality materials cheap at the same time?(Chemical Engineering, Hassan)
