Gen Z is very active on social media where there is a large amount of misinformation on human trafficking. This bears the question, does correct knowledge of human trafficking have a correlation with how Gen Z votes? This study looks into the correlation between Generation Z’s (Gen Z) voting patterns and their knowledge of human trafficking. The underlying thought is how media and social media play a role in what information Gen Z is taking to the voting booths. The results will show if both Republicans and Democrats or just one are affected by inadequate knowledge of human trafficking and if therefore, they are voting a specific way. A result emerged by surveying 30 people across the United States with ages ranging from 18-24, on where trafficking happens and to whom it happens to, alongside asking the participants different political questions to determine their voting patterns. The survey questions were written and analyzed quantitatively to use the data numerically as the results.

Migration to the United States, which pertains to the displacement of individuals, has endured across American history. Immigration is an intricate and serious subject that requires careful analysis and assessment to be comprehended. Deportation, an element of immigration, is a legally sanctioned process in which an individual is forcibly removed from a particular country. In the vast majority of instances, deportation entails the separation of families. The limited research examining the negative effects of deportation and family separation emphasizes the psychological, physical, and behavioral difficulties experienced by children. This thesis discusses children's consequences as internal and external repercussions. Children’s internal issues in deportation include psychological complications such as post-traumatic stress disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Furthermore, children’s external consequences of deportation are discussed as physical, behavioral, and social issues that result in eating disorders, hypervigilance, aggression, and social isolation. With the discussion of family separation in deportation, additional recommendations and guidance are discussed in this thesis for better quality deportations that may lessen children's internal and external effects of family separation.
