Please respond to at least two other students. Peer responses must be of sufficient length to address the discussion prompt sufficiently and sufficient substance to be meaningful (a good guide is for it to be around 100-150 words), substantive (i.e., address the content of the post and the lesson material), and grounded in the lesson material and literature. A good way to address this requirement is to make direct reference to at least one of the assigned readings and/or the lesson material in each of your required peer responses. You may challenge, support, or supplement another student’s answer using the terms, concepts, and theories from the required readings. Also, do not be afraid to respectfully disagree where you feel appropriate, as this should be part of your analysis process at this academic level.

When writing your response, please include in the text of the answer:

In completing the essay assignment, you should address Module Learning Outcomes A, B, C, D, and E. You must engage with at least five secondary sources (scholarly books/book chapters/journal articles)from the sources I have uploaded.

You don’t need to find Secondary sources by yourself, I will help u to find and upload them.
Also let me preface this by saying that no false citations will be allowed to appear. Thanks.
