Do not respond separately to each individual component listed above. Instead, develop a coherent, structured essay. So, adhere to the basics of standard essay format, with an introduction, body and conclusion. Assume I know nothing about which you are writing, so be thorough. Apply relevant terminology and provide all necessary definitions. Use your own words wherever possible; do not merely copy material from the textbook or lecture slides, as this would be considered plagiarism.
