quick thoughts:
- note the questions asks for your understanding of how these concepts influence one another - the concept map can be particularly useful for organising and communicating your thinking around this
- the wikipedia hyperlinks are useful - well done; also, however, ensure you use primary referencing of key theoretical and research-related material; textbooks can also be relevant
