Where marks usually go

  • Writing generally about Global Distributive Justice without directly resolving: “Increased national wealth did not result in equitable distribution of its benefits.”
  • Under-developing the second scoring limb: “It has created only some “enclaves of modernity and prosperity for a small minority at the cost of the majority.” Justify.”
