Then, post your own discussion question for the class that promotes critical thinking related to your chosen topic.

You must also provide a rationale and background for the question as illustrated in the example provided in Learning Activity-Developing Discussion Questions That Promote Critical Thinking.
Note: Support your post(s) with evidence from at least one Learning Resource. Be sure to identify what source(s) you used, both in the body of your post(s) and with a reference at the end of your post(s).
