Be sure to back up your answer with approved sources.....(Note that the John Oliver video does contain satire and some language that may be appropriate for late night television but NOT academic discussion - there is an alternative assignment below if you prefer not to encounter such. Of course, I, the department, and the University, do not endorse or condone the use of such language. )
