Hi Mr. Gilchrist,

For the concept map, I had a hybridization section but then I removed it. It wasn't part of the criteria being marked... should I keep it/at least mention it? Thanks.

You're right, hybridization isn't a required concept for the assignment. If you have space for it and are able to have cross-links to related globalization concepts on your assignment then include it. Obviously you won't be penalized for not including it.
