Your answer should make at least two specific references to the reading and/or video. But it is not just a recitation of facts from the reading/video but rather a discussion of things such as your opinion of the point under discussion, why you hold that opinion, how you see the point consistent or inconsistent with what you have learned so far, correlation with contemporary experience, implications for the future, etc. Makes connections to previous or current content or to real-life situations. Ideas should build upon each other.

Your initial post should be at least 300 words.
