Typically Light Edit Grouping

Overview

When you submit a document or manuscript for a price quote, a WordsRU administrator checks the word count and assesses what is required in the context of three general edit groupings: heavy, medium and light. An example of a generally light edit is featured on this page.

Administrators exercise discretion in fine tune your price, which may also involve the gradations between the three main edit groupings. This ensures you never pay for more than is necessary to achieve a quality editing outcome for your document.

"This is the sixth book I've written, which isn't bad for a guy who's only read two."
- George Burns (1896 – 1996)

Light editing indicators :

Your document is essentially well written and presented, but it requires minor changes to grammar, spelling and punctuation. Word selection and sentence construction are generally sound, but the latter may need slight adjustments to enhance the flow and impact of your ideas. In this edit grouping, formatting usually only requires checking for consistency.

With the break-up of the Soviet Union twelve years ago, a new era of international politics began. It fundamentally altered the structure of the global political system. For the first time the world faced a unipolar system in which only one superpower dominated; the United States of America became the first global hegemony. The implications of this are still working themselves out. Indeed, it took over a decade for many, including America, to realize that the US held that hegemonic power.

The critic looks into the past to see how states have reacted in the face of a dominant power. He argues that historically the reaction of lesser states has been determined more by the potential power of the dominant state than by its own actual behavior or avowed intentions. Their choice as lesser states is to either balance the power of the hegemony or to jump on its bandwagon. He concludes with the reminder that it is often the case in politics that the strong and powerful set their own course.

Martin Wright, a distinguished analyst of international politics, once laid it down as a fundamental truth that, “Great Power status is lost, as it is won, by violence. A Great Power does not die in its bed.” But twelve years ago, the Soviet Union, a state not exactly averse to violence, confounded all expectations by doing just that. It sickened, received some drastic treatment at the hands of Mikhail Gorbachev, and quietly expired, without war or bloodshed.
