Please read instructions. Based off of the first project, attached.

Group Project

Instructions:

Based on your findings from project I, each team should analyze and answer the following questions in a 2,000-2,500-word paper: PLEASE ANSWER QUESTION 2. Do not worry about writing a lot like the last project, the main focus is answering the question. There are 3 other students who will answer questions 1 & 3. I may ask you to review the paper once they have made their inputs to make final adjustments to the paper like last time. This time, I have about 1 week. That’s plenty of time, and with less wording requirement than last time. Also a bit easier since it’s based on the first project.
