I want it to be as easy as possible, don\’t use difficult phrases or words,
the essay needs to be 700 words, excluding the references %10 above or below.
I\’m not sure how many references should be included, but you should know. put as much as you feel enough.
Do not use any BOOKS, only online sources and online articles please.
If it is possible, it would be sooooo helpful if you use most of the references from that list
