Week 3 Discussion The Discussions are not simply statements of opinion. They are intended to allow you to expand upon and apply the principles discussed in your textbook, the lectures, and/or other research you conduct. Each week a question will be posed for your consideration. Before answering, you should review the chapters covered during this week and the lectures. For the Week 3 discussion, please pick one of the topics below to discuss.  Your initial post to the Week 3 discussion is required to be completed and posted by 11:59 p.m. ET Thursday .  Your initial post is required to be at least 250 words and this  MUST  be in your own words. You are  required  to include at least one reference in your initial post with proper citation and this includes  BOTH  an in-text citation and a full citation reference at the end of the post.  Do  NOT use  Wikipedia ,  Blurtit , Yahoo Answers or ANY open  blog  or ANY open source where anyone can post responses and the information is not verified. These are unacceptable academic resources; be sure to use reliable sources of information and research carefully.  Also, do NOT copy and paste from the Internet. If you DO quote a phrase, be sure to try and explain the phrase afterward, be sure it is enclosed in quotation marks (""), and be sure that you show which reference the quote came from. Do not count quoted material or the citation in your 250 word count requirement. Please do not plagiarize. If you quote word for word (verbatim) from a source, you  MUST  put quotation marks around it AND you  MUST  cite the source at the end of your post. It is NOT simply enough to put a source at the end. You are  required  to make at  least two additional response posts to two different students (or one student and the professor) on two separate days  and not posted on the same day as your initial post. The response posts should be at least 100 words and be substantive in nature. While pleasantries such as "I agree" or "great job" are nice, they will not count as one of your required posts. A complimentary, philosophical, or off-topic comment does not count as one of the three required entries. For example, it does not help us to tell us that you did not know something before you read an entry. All entries should help everyone understand one or more of the concepts presented.  Your posts are required to be posted on at least 3 separate days with all being completed by 11:59 p.m. ET Sunday of Week 3  (the end of the week).
