Start big, then focus in on your small area of the review. For some topics, you will want to develop the different sides to the issue \u2013 How many different sides are there? What does each side say? What is the history of each side? In this section, you should provide the reader with everything they will need to understand the empirical studies that you will later present. So, be sure this section is comprehensive.
