For this activity, you will compare and contrast two different air traffic control entities.
In your blog, explain, with support, your chosen entities and detail how each entity supports air traffic management to include similarities and differences. You may choose any two entities, national or international, that you wish. The goal is to engage in a collaborative and constructive debate that promotes critical thought and reflection.
Your initial posts and responses to your classmates need to be thoughtful, thorough, and comprehensive. This means your initial post needs to be about a paragraph and thoroughly explain your answer. Additionally, include a properly formatted in-text citation and reference to support your position. After you create your blog, you will be expected to engage in dialogue with at least one of your classmates. Your responses to your classmates’ blog entries need to be more than “I agree/disagree.” You need to elaborate and explain why you agree or disagree, and you may even want to ask additional questions.
