REFERENCES: The paper needs to be thoroughly referenced, with citations given in the appreciate places in the text indicating the articles, books, papers, etc. to which you referred.

THEREFORE, PLEASE FIRST SEND ME YOUR CHOSEN RESEARCH ARTICLES BEFORE/WHILE YOU START YOUR WRITING AND SHOW ME WHERE I CAN GET THEM SINCE MY PROFESSOR MAY BE ASK ME ABOUT THEM .
