Business law:
Eminent domain is the constitutional principle that the government can take private property from an owner for a public purpose with fair compensation. Examples would be to build an airport, a park, or a highway. One controversial Supreme Court case allowed a city government to transfer ownership from one set of owners to a private corporation for a new headquarters building. The city said it was for "urban renewal" and would bring in more money for the city. Share your thoughts about whether this is a fair public use or if that transfer or ownership should not have been allowed.

Develop a simple MIS (Management Information System)
that consists of a simple database (a text file). The system
manages to dynamically input record/data into the database. The
data from the database can be sorted, searched and updated. User
also should be able to add new records/data, remove any data and
etc.
Here are some ideas of MIS that can be developed:
1. Hotel reservation system.
2. Students management system.
3. Payroll management system.
4. Bus/Railway/Plane ticketing system.
5. Clinic record management system.
