Explain your reasoning, give some examples and offer some theoretical support from your readings. Draw on the background readings and search in the Trident Online Library to find some papers/articles to support your argument and show them in the reference list.
Upload your assignment to the Case 1 Dropbox. Be sure to review your TurnItIn Originality report. If the score is over 20%, you may not be writing in your own words, and you will need to contact your professor and arrange to revise and resubmit your assignment.
