3. Discuss what drew you to want to explore this belief or practice in more detail.
4. Present the essence of the belief or the aspects of the practice under consideration.

6. Provide what you learned from this exploration.
7. Your post is to be at least 200 words of content followed by at least 2 MLA (Modern Language Association) format research source citations outside of your textbook (even though your exploration starts in the textbook, you should do external research for more depth and detail).
