Each question requires that you return to the lectures, videos, class reading assignments, - which it will expect you to reference in your essay - but each question is open ended so as to accommodate your own ideas/research on the issues addressed in the readings. In support of your own ideas about the readings, you will need to associate those ideas with the assigned works you're discussing in your essay questions AND include 2 or more references to text and/or supplemental references that are specific, relevant. (Include page #s for text citations and URLs for online sources.)
