2. 'One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist' discuss
3. Discuss the ethics and morality underpinning Asymmetric warfare.
(Asymmetric warfare is war between belligerents whose relative military power differs significantly, or whose strategy or tactics differ significantly. "Asymmetric warfare" can describe a conflict in which the resources of two belligerents differ in essence and in the struggle, interact and attempt to exploit each other's characteristic weaknesses. Such struggles often involve strategies and tactics of unconventional warfare, the "weaker" combatants attempting to use strategy to offset deficiencies in quantity or quality. Such strategies may not necessarily be militarized. This is in contrast to symmetric warfare, where two powers have similar military power and resources and rely on tactics that are similar overall, differing only in details and execution).
4. The physicians' role in ameliorating the effects of climate change.
Or devise another title within the forum's areas of interest.
