We will also learn about Graph Theory and its close connection with Balance Theory, and how did solving the Seven bridges of Königsberg Problem lead to the emergence of the first theorem in Graph Theory? What is Social Balance Theory, and how does this theory provide us with an important tool for analyzing the social system, and how do individuals tend to choose a state of balance in their interpersonal relationships?

The conflict in Syria and how the relations of friendship and hostility between countries (the United States, Russia, Turkey, Iran, Syria) produce stability or instability in Syria. Balance and imbalance in the context of sport and sponsorship with examples from the English Premier League and car racing in America.
