balanced and not one-sided. Distinguish how cognitive and behavioral implications might
play a role in your selected topic. What learning principles could factor in with the
topic? What theories of motivation and personality could influence your insights into the
topic? Analyze any additional research that could be done in the future and provide
solutions that could be implemented in the present regarding your selected
