Please limit your response to 600 words maximum and minimum 400.

You are to use authorized sources (our course materials) when answering the questions.  This will include an in-text citation at the end of the sentence whether it’s a direct quote or paraphrase that will look something like, “(Crain, p. 10).”  If you go to outside sources (I highly do not recommend), you must provide the in-text citation and a separate full APA reference. I will assume you have made a good judgment of the quality of the source, i.e., scholarly and peer reviewed.  For instance, a “bad” source could be a religious group’s “research” being used to support corporal punishment on children that misbehave…quite speculative. -Only 1 outside source is permitted.-All of your work will be checked via SAFEASSIGN for a plagiarism check. DO NOT type the answer into the COMMENT box. Anything over 50% match will not be counted/graded.  I mentioned this is a social science course therefore matches will be inevitable and citing of sources is crucial. Anything above a 20% will be checked further by me.
