You are tasked with formulating research questions related to a given topic. This requires a clear understanding of the topic and identifying areas within it that need further exploration. Here is the topic you need to work with:

<topic>
{$TOPIC}
</topic>

Follow these steps carefully to create effective research questions:

1. **Understand the Topic**: Begin by thoroughly understanding the topic provided. Consider its broader context and significance.

2. **Break Down the Topic**: Identify subthemes or specific areas of interest within the topic. This will help narrow down the focus and develop more targeted questions.

3. **Identify Gaps or Areas of Interest**: Think about what aspects of the topic are underexplored or could benefit from further research. Look for gaps in existing knowledge or unanswered questions.

4. **Formulate Research Questions**: Based on the areas you've identified, generate specific, clear, and researchable questions. Each question should aim to contribute to understanding or resolving issues within the topic. Ensure the questions are open-ended, allowing for detailed exploration.

Write the research questions you have formulated inside <research_questions> tags. Ensure they are well-structured and concise.
