“Select any book or article written about your country. It could be about your community, culture, or a specific event. Identify how different aspects of the subject selected are represented. Do you agree with these representations? Why or why not? Discuss” ( Wilson, C., Grizzle, A., Tuazon, R., Akyempong, K., Cheung,
