Like you, I've seen more than my share of contact information database designs. I think yours is pretty reasonable, and locating the Key column separately from the *Method tables is a nice touch, allowing grouping of "home" e-mail and postal addresses to be grouped after a fashion.
There is a name for this pattern. It's called "specialization generalization".
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.
