In order to show students the topicality of the topics being dealt with and at the same time to find an activating introduction to a course, it is a good idea to refer to subject-related topics from the press (e.g. news from the drug war in Mexico).
The topics presented can be used to discuss situations on site, apply theoretical findings or compare modelled ideas with real scenarios.
In addition to current topics, it is also possible to discuss broader, interdisciplinary issues (e.g. altruism and prosocial behaviour) or topics with historical references.
