Guidelines: 

The answer should be based on the knowledge obtained from reading the book attached in a word document (only the last part of the question is your opinion). If there are 4 questions in the discussion, you must answer all of them. 

Remember, the internet may not have accurate information. Sometimes, part of the question may ask for your opinion. In this case, you give your opinion based on the knowledge obtained from studying the corresponding chapter. 

• I am expecting to answer the question and justified it based on peer review literature or information in your book.

•  I am expecting at least three paragraphs with five sentences in each paragraph (minimum of 400 words). 

• APA style will be strictly enforced.
