This discussion is worth 25 points, and requires an initial post and one response to a peer, with references. Both the initial and response posts are due on the same day. Reference all sources you’ve cited within your answers at the end of your narrative.

Do not write a formal paper with title and reference pages.  However, use headings to delineate sections of your narrative that speak to the question(s). Be brief, yet concise, when answering the questions and include citations to support your statements.

The Canvas discussion platform does not lend itself to setting up your narrative to APA formatting in regards to margins and indentations.  However, you are required to comply with APA in regards to all other components, i.e., grammar, spelling, complete sentences, proper use of headings, correct citations and reference sequencing and use of capitalization and italics.

Do not upload a document, if you do so this will not be graded.  You may copy and paste a prepared written submission.
