You will need to include the following: A desсrіption of the inequalities that exist, Evidence and data to support this, Solutions to the inequality, supported with evidence and appropriate examples Justify the examples (how are they appropriate) Evaluation of the effectiveness and sustainability of these solutions INSTRUCTIONS: You will have 3 class periods in which to research and write your response. You will be allowed to choose the country about which you are writing the report, but you will need to check with the teacher as no two students will have the same country.
