Answer the following two Essay Questions:
Your answers should be written in essay form with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. [Note – these are the basic elements of any essay and are not intended to be used as section headings. Generally, an introduction will be 1 to 2 paragraphs, and the conclusion will be 1 to 2 paragraphs; while the body of an essay might include several subsections (with specific headings) and be 2 to 8 paragraphs, depending on the complexity and scope of the essay.] There is no minimum length for the essay, but you should clearly answer the question. Your answers should be in your own words. Use examples as applicable to support your position. Short quotes can be used as needed. Cite any references used, in APA format. TurnItIn will be used for plagiarism checking and scores of 25% or higher may negatively impact your grade. If you submitted a draft version of your essays to TurnItIn before submitting your final version, you must notify the instructor of this, since it will show an abnormally high plagiarism score.
