Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories, which will require supporting citations along with at least one scholarly, peer-reviewed reference in supporting your answer. You are required to reply to at least two peer discussion question post answers to this weekly discussion question. These post replies need to be substantial and constructive in nature.
