Why are higher order concerns and lower order concerns important?

Higher order concerns and lower order concerns are the two areas a professional content editor checks. These two broadly classified areas help the editor to rate the academic related essays and grade the level of writing. The higher order concerns help the editor to find out if the author of the essay or any content has included the thesis statement, focus to the main idea of the essay, if the content is appropriate for the audience and serves the purpose, if the ideas are better organized and developed in the order of importance. The lower order concerns help the editor to check the sentence structure, punctuation, spelling errors, and Word choice.
