What are the major socio-economic challenges arising from falling fertility rates across economically advanced countries?
Order Description
Carefully introduce your key concepts/ideas you are going to talk
about e.g. if you are writing about ‘international migration’ what is
your understanding of this? What definition are you using? Why? Is it
from someone else? (reference if so)
• Include examples (original ones if possible)
• Show evidence of reading-knowledge of ideas and reference to case
studies/research
• Don’t be afraid to show your own opinion-just remember to support
this using literature to do so (using first person is fine!)
• Engagement with the literature and key ideas from the field should be evident
throughout
• Avoid just describing the literature, you need to engage with it on a deeper level
• What are the connections between literature in terms of building a narrative on your
topic?
• What is the significance of the literature to your argument?
• Can you extend the arguments/ideas from the literature into a new direction?
• How does the literature illuminate or oppose your argument?
• Are there new examples you can apply to the points from the literature? (e.g. more
modern one?)
