Task 01.03 - Topic Selection
From your brainstorming output select three topics that you want to consider for your paper. Further, think about them, e.g.

- What further characteristics does the topic have?
- What questions could you ask about that topic?
- How could you solve those questions?
For this task, you must submit three topics, even if you have already chosen a topic for your paper. Briefly explain your choices.
