    The students will be given presentations and starting literature on the above mentioned topics in form of scientific hypotheses.

    Then they will be required to examine one of the topics in more depth, reflect on the subject, eventually change or specify the hypothesis, find arguments for or against the hypothesis, and think of creative ways to present the topic (through pictures, videos, analogies, metaphors, examples or scientific evidence).

    In the end they will present the results of the research in creative format as well as write a seminar paper on the topic.
