Areas for Improvement

Tighten the introduction. Condense background information to emphasize thesis and central argument sooner.

Clarify thesis. State explicitly how the model addresses conflict, restores relationships, and prevents escalation in one direct sentence.

Streamline model analysis. Reduce repetitive descriptions of restorative circles and focus on key mechanisms and outcomes.

Refine conclusion. Emphasize professional implications and scholarly phrasing rather than reiterating all details.

You are on track for a strong final paper. Focus on precision, conciseness, and highlighting the models direct impact on ethical and sustainable conflict resolution.
