Support your opinions and statements with a minimum of five references from sources published within the last ten years and integrate appropriate concepts and theories from our work over the semester. You can cite scholarly and practitioner-oriented journals, newspaper articles, and YouTube videos about the topic, but not Wikipedia, consulting company websites, or other non-academic sources.
