Obviously, you still have a lot of work to do to organize this paper. Your thesis is repetitive; however, it presents an interesting but controversial point that domestic violence is universal. Now, why does that assertion matter? If it is a universal problem, what kinds of solutions can you identify? Or you could use the organization of cause and effect? What are the causes of the violence? Choose one of these organizational strategies to help you develop your ides. You might want to organize each paragraph by country to lengthen your ideas. Then summarize what works and what doesn't work.
ReplyDeleteI like how the paper discusses domestic violence in the entire world, that's interesting. Comparing countries would be a good organization strategy. Be sure to throw some statistics in there; discuss the problems as well as the solutions in an easy to understand format. I like it though!
