Agenda 3 - Southeast Asia

Important: Top Priority - Post to Planning on Monday

About

This module has two topic parts, and two teamwork discussions

Region - Southeast Asia (not the same as East Asia!)
Theme - Urbanization (cities) and colourism - this British spelling is on purpose.

Please note: "Asia" as a whole is a HUGE continent, divided into FIVE different regions (West Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and East Asia). Eventually, we will cover East Asia, South-East Asia, South Asia, Central Asia and Western Asia in separate modules. This week is only South-East Asia.

Prioritize

The first three items this week are required to be done in the order they appear in Modules
