   • Answer all questions thoughtfully and thoroughly, and use specific examples from the HBO series Chernobyl as required throughout
   • A Table of Contents has been included for you, and links to the document sections.
   • Because basic introductions, some visuals, a table of contents, footnotes, and question instructions are included throughout the document, this document appears quite long, and may appear intimidating. While this assignment requires you to think critically, analytically, and from different perspectives, the totality of actual writing you do for this assignment will be considerably less than the the total page count indicates.
   • However, this is an involved assignment, so you should give yourself time to complete it in chunks (see below).
4. Although this is not a technically difficult assignment (you’re not writing a cohesive essay, and most of the context and formatting work has been done for you), it is an involved assignment and has a significant point value. You are being asked to think critically, analytically, and from different perspectives, and those things take concentration and time. Therefore, it is important that you give yourself time to complete this assignment in chunks.
   • Start now by reading the attached assignment document and reading the Ukraine cultural component analysis on the Hofstede Insights website.
