Please make a posting of at least 200 words that answers the question (in your own words); 

1. What are some of your views about what you have read in the first chapter?
2. Reply to two other classmate's postings on and make sure that the post is substantive as well. One sentence answers will not count. Please justify your reasoning, analysis.

While research papers need to be in APA format, the discussion does not have to be, I am more interested in hearing what you have to say and just want to make sure that you cite your reference. I am not too concerned about perfect references in the discussions, but they need to be there.
