Introduction: Begin your paper by clarifying why you believe the chosen issue is crucial and why it resonates with you personally. This section allows you to inject your personal perspective into the paper. Avoid being generic.
Body and Conclusion: The remainder of the paper should maintain an objective tone. This means avoiding the use of first-person pronouns (e.g., “I”, “we”). Your name should only appear on the title page.
Originality: While you are permitted to use GenAI for assistance, the final paper should be your original work. Any direct excerpts from the AI’s output should be properly cited. Please see the citation conventions for AI work.
