Statements need to be clear and concise:
E.g 1: While the USA is diverse in that it is comprised of later generations of immigrants who migrated there in the past few hundred years, the people can be considered homogenous as they all declare themselves as a liberal democratic citizen of the United States and have a single identity. In contrast, Malaysians come from all sorts of races and backgrounds such as the Malays, Chinese, Indians and others (heterogeneous). It can be suggested that this feeling of racial identity can impede the different races in a country from working together to develop the country.
Feedback : Is this about social cohesion? The statement needs to be related to social cohesion.

E.g 2: The higher of export is higher than the level of import

The level of exports in developed countries is higher than the level of imports because of the superior human resources and technology possessed. Due to the low management of natural resources and human resources in developing countries, developing countries more often buy goods from abroad.



Feedback:

Developed countries export high technology industry and possess quality human capital while developing countries or less developed countries imports more finished industrial goods and exports more agriculture, raw products.
