The following are the areas on which you may chose to write the term paper. They are however general in nature so that you may choose and define the scope in which you want to write your paper. You are free to approach the subject from whatever angle you deem suitable as long as it does not digress from the original topic. Alternatively, you may also suggest a new topic on which you would like to write about as long as it is related to our course.
