Because of all of your research into the ways to fix problems in the environment, society, and day-to-day life, you have written research papers on all of these subjects. You have presented new information and discussion into the lives of academics everywhere and your name is respected for it. If you ask for help at a university or college, everyone there will strive to help you because of your revolutionary thinking. Your research has also been compressed and published into one book that is accessible to the general public, and so you may have progressive thinking citizens respect you, or have enemies against new thought bring about your downfall.
