Note: Up until this point, you have been primarily using first person when responding to discussions and assignments. This was appropriate because you were generally discussing your opinions about the subjects. This discussion, however, calls for an academic analysis of the literature on a subject. You will be expected to use the conventional academic third-person form when writing this post. Instead of expressing your own opinions, you will be supporting your analysis referencing the research and expertise of others. For more information on this style of academic writing, review the Campus resource Writing in Third Person (given in the resources).
