Check the Distribution Structures  Chap. 10:  Look at the slides 4-9 and use them to analyse how the situation is or might be in the future  In my opinion you HAVE to include it in your project  Remember to make good arguments – using Toulmins Model  Remember: Descriptions give NO points  Only Analysis and Assessments will give you MANY points
