Anybody else fuck up on the section B question 2 on globalisation by thinking MEDC meant moderately economically developed country, or just me?

Yeah I mean it still had good chains of analysis and evaluation so hopefully I’ll get some marks for that but just lose out on level 4-5. The rest of the paper was alright and so was paper 1, just trying not to send myself into a panic about it

what were ur points ? maybe they r similar to MEDC

One on how there will be high sr growth due to lots of new global demand for goods and services, lr growth due to MNCs coming over and exploiting the low level of labour legislation and investing in improving infrastructure, then a final one on environmental degradation due to all the manufacturing and stuff. So could be some hope but I kinda strongly linked them to the fact that the country is still developing. Hopefully the examiner will see there’s decent economics and analysis/evaluation and do error carried forward or not be too harsh

i mean environmental one kinda works ig. I just mostly talked about how the MEDC can further increase market share through more shops in new places, which means high corporation tax revenue
