   At the end of Ch. 8 there are a series of "Thought Questions" (p. 272-273). Choose one of question #1, #2 or #3 to answer. The length of your answer should be appropriate for the question, however I envision answers in the range of 1/2-page to 1-page. You may certainly use the web for research on any of those questions, however you should cite your sources appropriately.
