To complete this activity, please do not exceed two type-written pages. This is not a major research paper, but rather a means in which to show me that you are understanding the material and can apply it to a specific topic. However, you must cite to any material that you obtain from other sources than your own thoughts. A failure to do so will result in a 0. Also, when providing your references, you must use proper citation (see lecture).
EACH CASE SHOULD HAVE ITS OWN PAPER. TWO PAGES TOTAL.
