What are the defining attributes of the concept you’ve identified (Step 4)?
Of the 4 cases (model, contrary, borderline, invented), using the critical attributes, select and describe 1 case in your initial post (Step 5).
Include your reference list thus far (Step 3 in your draft paper).
Include any questions and/or insights you have for your peers to consider in their reply posts.
Present your posts and replies in a professional, scholarly manner.
