Your task is to answer all five of the following sets of questions. Provide an individual and comprehensive answer for each question. The answer for each question must be at least half a page long not including the question (that is the minimum; the answer may be longer than that if you feel that you need to elaborate further), using font 12, double-space and standard margins. Each question is worth two points of the final grade; the total score for the assignment is 10 points. You will be graded on the accuracy, logic and clarity of your answer. General statement must be supported with specific facts. Do not re-state the question as part of your answer.
In order to answer the questions, you must use the PowerPoint lectures, the assigned pages on the textbook, and when pertinent, the documentary assigned to the current week (the link to the documentary is in the course outline; there is one link for each week). No outside sources can be used.
Your work must be original, that means your own thoughts and words; you cannot copy and paste form the book or any other source; you cannot just redact my own words from the PP lectures or quote word by word from the documentaries. All of those practices are considered plagiarism, and you will get 0 (zero) for the whole assignment, and if you do it a second time, you will get automatically an F on the course.
The questions require rational thinking, not just repetition or lis of facts, but when you make a point or express an opinion these have to be supported by specific facts.
Your work has to be delivered through Turnitin.
You will have one week (7 days) to complete each assignment. No late assignments will be accepted.
