I choose to focus on pupils in the western world because âliteracy and technologyâ is a subject more applicable to America, Great Britain or Scandinavia, than in developing countries.
The problem is: How do I say this without sounding like a racist? I mean, somehow I have to manage to say that I will only be writing about people from the western world, basically because modern technology is more used there than in "other places." How do I say this without sounding racist and/or patronizing?
Thanks again!

TMI - Too Much Information. In my humble opinion you're fine in explaining that due to time and space constraints you placed the focus of your essay upon the countries where technology is more prevalent. Its not patronizing and certainly not racist. :) Good luck on your paper it sounds very interesting.
