Please choose one question to answer. I would prefer that you write a short essay of no fewer than 3 double-spaced spaced pages. There is no page max. By essay, I just mean a thesis which makes an argument as opposed to a bland report. Make sure to reference at least one reading and/or video in the answer. Any established referencing style is totally fine!
