2) Your response must address the discussion question and you must also comment on at least one other student’s post.

3) WEEK 8 Instructor Insights Video OPTIONAL.

Class,

Religion is so very important to the core values of society. The very topic can elicit a range of emotions and controversies. I would like for you to review this video regarding the role of religion and morality in society. I think it is very interesting. You will notice that this town hall style meeting takes place in Birmingham—not the city in Alabama but England. If you choose to post your comments, that is fine, keep them respectful. Again this is an OPTIONAL video for this week.

Prof. Royal-Smith
