Provide comprehensive answers for each of the following questions. Each answer must be AT LEAST half a page long (single-spaced, standard margins, font 12, not including the question). The maximum length of the answer is one full page. Your answers must be based on the PowerPoint lectures and/or the video-documentary assignments; you may use the textbook, but no more than 10% of the content of you answer can come from that source. Use of any external sources is not allowed and will lead to a zero on the question even if the sources are paraphrased or cited.

Transcribing long segments from the lectures, textbook, and/or documentary will lead to a zero on the question even if the sources are cited. Any plagiarized material will lead to a zero on the whole assignment. Use of any external digital programs or platforms, such as paraphrasing tools or AI programs, falls in under the category of plagiarism and academic dishonesty. Answer and number each question separately. I want you to express your understanding of the issues with your own thoughts and words.
