  Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your   opinion with evidence from this week’s and last week’s readings. Properly   cite any references. By Day 7, respond to at least two of your classmates, at   least one of whom came to a different conclusion than you did, as well as one   of your instructor’s posts.
