Description

The essays should be well documented. Every phrase should have its reference if it is not your own. Do not just list a number of websites and references that are not documented in the essay; this is not enough for documentation.

Feel free to refer to your own experience in case you find that helpful. 

Your essay should be around 1000 words.
