For each prompt that you chose, adhere to the following requirements:

• Your response to the prompt must be at least ½ page. Do not go over 1 page.

  • Remember to cite lecture resources
• Use a combination of personal opinion and research (cited!) to answer. (Please see “research” at the bottom of this assignment.)
• Please put each question on a separate page (use page breaks) within the paper with the question at the top so we know what question you have chosen to answer.

Research

• At least one direct lecture citation for each question.
