NOTE: The micro and macro insight part of the conclusion is a tool to help students develop their critical thinking skills. If the words “local” and “global” does not serve your topic, I suggest that you modify how to zoom in and out of your topic. Come up with 2 variables of comparison that best serves your individual topic. It would be a swooping generalization to conclude that it affects everyone, of different roles, equally. Most importantly, the micro and macro insight allows writers to practice teasing out the nuances of a problem.

3. Have you ever been assigned to read a book that had so many big words in it that you had to keep the dictionary by your side? If it was assigned for school, you probably struggled through it for the sake of not failing the test, but what about if you were not being graded? Would you bother to read it? If you did read it because you knew it would help you, would you have enough understanding to actually apply the information?
