Be sure to adhere to for APUS when writing. Formal citations are not required in discussions.
Please note that this is a threaded discussion, allowing you to have an extended conversation with a smaller group. Your instructor will set up three groups. Read the rest of the instructions below and post accordingly. Do not start your own thread.

Validator Support some items in the reading. Be specific about which points you agree with, explaining why you do. Provide evidence. Here is a way to start your post: “I agree with many of the author’s points, such as”
Please remember that the university’s AI policy is to avoid using AI-generated content unless specifically advised to do so in the discussion or assignment instructions. So putting AI-generated content in this discussion would be contrary to that policy.
