For this assignment you will post your answers to the questions in each thread prior to 11:59 p.m. ET on Wednesday.  Please do not be late with this post because your classmates will be relying on you to post on time. Your follow-up posts can add additional insight to a classmate’s opinions or can challenge their opinions. Use examples from the readings, or from your own research, to support your views, as appropriate. For your follow-up posts this week, you may wish to visit a couple of the web sites contributed by your classmates and share your opinion of these sites with the class. Be sure to read the follow-up posts to your own posts and reply to any questions or requests for clarification. You are encouraged to conduct research and use other sources to support your answers. Be sure to list your references at the end of your post. All posts must be a minimum of 250 words. All follow-up posts to your classmates must be a minimum of 150 words for each required post. Peer responses will not be accepted after the due date.

Your first post in this discussion must be made in the first week of class. If you do not write a first post in this discussion within a week, you will be dropped from the course.
