How should I answer this question in order to ensure I get full marks (25 marks total)
Describe and evaluate the role of alternative dispute resolution methods in settling conflicts and encouraging cooperation in society
I know I must refer to mediation, arbitration, etc but what else would I need to refer to?
Thanks
That will essentially be the core of the response! You could be trickier and compare it with the role of the court system in settling conflicts, add your own dimension to it, which would then add that extra dimension to what you need to discuss. Kind of like "Yeah, mediation does this, but courts do it better" or "Arbitration does this, it's better than court processes," etc etc
That said, you've nailed the main parts of it. Be sure that you are making consistent judgements with regard to what you are discussing ('ineffectively, effectively, inefficiently' those sorts of adverbs) and incorporating as many Laws, Cases, Media, Statistics and Reports as possible to form a broad body of evidence
