After you write about cultural differences between Latin American families and other cultural groups, for example, you have to dig deeper at the end of each paragraph. Well, not every paragraph, but a lot of them.Each para should represent a single thought. That thought is worth explaining with a few sentences. The conclusion sentence of each paragraph can reflect on the point being made... it can challange the point you just made, consider alternatives, speculate about explanations... you can rant about it thoughtfully, as if you were interested in the subject. :-)And write a few paragraphs where you compare the different ideas to one another. What do all these ideas mean together? Mix them up.
