In my experience, when developers try to make their system really "dynamic" they're actually trying to code for problems that they haven't thought of yet. That's usually a bad path to take. Is it really so much extra work for a module to include two tables instead of one?
It seems to me you're asking for a guide to lead you down a twisting, thorny path.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
