Feedback on draft:
It is evident that you have reflected on the concepts covered in class in such a way that enables you to draw on your personal observations. Well done.
I encourage improved clarity in your analysis by way of bolder statements and the use of sub-titles to draw on statements of intention. More flow between your examples, statements and reflections is encouraged.
Excellent choice in sources. You have chosen an academic-exclusive list which serve to substantiate your claims. Well done.
