• What  is the problem that should be addressed with additional research (i.e.,  what is going wrong)? Support the existence of the problem with at  least three recent references.
• What is the impact of the problem? That is, how are the victims (field of study, researchers, practitioners, industry, civilians, etc.) negatively affected by the problem, when is the problem evident, and where does  the issue exist or become obvious? Provide an example of the problem in  action or as experienced by those affected by it. Support the impact of  the problem with at least three recent references.
• Why  does the problem exist? Why has it not been previously solved? If the  issue has been addressed, why does the issue continue to exist?
