<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Modern
warfare is changing as more and more complex weapons systems make their debut
in battle fields. The new trend involves greater use of AI in battle fields as
in many other spheres of life. Killer robots have to date been the stuff of science
fiction but are fast in danger of becoming a reality. At first glance, this
seems like natural progression; however, on closer inspection, certain
disadvantages may also become apparent. Do your research and decide weather you
fully support autonomous weapons, weather you have certain reservations or
weather you are completely against them. When you are ready defend your point
of view.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If we are serious in our aim to tackle climate change, we
need to start with how we eat and how we produce what we eat. Provided some
measures are taken, both we as people, and more importantly, the planet on which
we depend will be healthier. In this exercise, the texts and the videos have
been mingled, which will hopefully make it easier for you to organize your
ideas. If you should find material which you feel should be included in the

cows roam the meadows, sheep frolic in the sunshine and poultry scratch around
for grubs. You may be horrified to learn that there existed places called baby
farms. Do your research, find out what this institution was and discuss the reasons
why they were established and why they still exist today. In your conclusion,

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Racism is
sadly still endemic in many parts of the world with people of color, ethnic
minorities and those of different creeds being discriminated against. Despite
the horrors of WW2, anti-Semitism is still rife; despite Martin Luther King’s
famous speech and the emancipation act, there is still massive discrimination
against people of color. However , how much more complicated would the
situation be if various early humans had not died out but lived along-side homo
sapiens like they did in the beginning? After all, they co-existed for
thousands of years and interbred; what if they continued to do so? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Would
people be more tolerant of differences and live together in peace and harmony
or would racism become even more widespread? Do your research to find out more
about Neanderthals and Denisovans, use your imagination and write an essay.
Hint: you will need to use the hypotheticals while writing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

waste and what to do about it are two of the most important problems facing
humanity as valuable resources are wasted and depleted and the natural world is
slowly poisoned. Do your research to find out where your discarded iphone or
tablet ends up and what effects it has on the environment. When you are ready,
use your notes to describe the problem and suggest solutions. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b><span lang="EN-US">Machiavelli and his famous book The Prince are things university
students should have some idea about and hopefully this brilliant little text
will serve this purpose. I also feel that the views expressed will be of great
interest to the modern student and as such, the text has a most definite wow
factor. The advantages of the text do not end here: it lends itself to some
good questions and a brilliant summary task as a part of the reaction essay. I
would advise teachers to make sure students annotate the text correctly and
make notes to use later. This is a very important skill that they will need
throughout university. You will see that there are multiple answers to some
questions and I require students to find both; I do this to test students’
paraphrasing skills.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Public
protests have always existed, and the reasons are universally known. They are
usually a way of drawing attention to a perceived wrong and demanding change.
Never have they been so widespread as in the autumn of 2019, which is when this
task was prepared. Below, you will find the main causes of public protests and
examples from the afore mentioned period. You will need to research each case
in order to be able to do justice to the writing task. It is hoped that while
doing so, you will develop a keen interest in world events and continue to
follow what is happening globally. Should you attempt this task in the years to
come, you will need to scour the press to discover appropriate examples. It is
suggested you give yourself free rein and allow this writing task to be as long
as it needs to be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
