The purpose of this assignment is for you to demonstrate your understanding of the concepts presented in Chapters 4 & 5. Detailed responses to the questions below will demonstrate your full understanding of these various concepts. I expect about 1-2 pages (200-300 words) per question. You should do some outside research on these topics and use that research to enhance your response to the questions. Be sure to cite all your outside sources, both in-text and in a Works Cited section at the end of the paper. Do not rely heavily on quotations. I am looking for you to demonstrate that YOU have a good understanding of these concepts.
