Question 5 · TEXT

Interest and relevance:

What would you suggest to improve?

Answer 5

This is a hard question to answer because I feel like it is a very elaborated article, but might stray away or confuse those who have no idea of the topic. So I guess it all depends on the target audience. But as this is a student assignment where you are you write an academic paper with strong arguments, it is very valid for you to assume previous exposure to the topic. Just something to think about... Maybe include more examples?
