Multi-Genre Project Proposal

For my multi-genre research project I've chosen the topic of gender equality. It's a broad topic, so there are a lot of areas that I could focus on. I want to mainly research the domestic aspect of gender equality because many people are aware that it happens in developing countries but they don't realize that it is also an issue in America. The pay gap is one of the issues within the US that I would like to learn more about. As for the interviews, I'm still figuring that out. Ms. James suggested that I talk to someone from SPS's diversity department, so I might end up doing that. I find this topic personally meaningful because gender equality is an issue that directly affects me. As a female planning on going into a profession that is more than 70% males, I am concerned by issues like unequal pay for equal work. I want others to be aware of these types of issues as well.

    I was reading something in the last class that I had and it said that a woman makes 75 cents for every dollar that a man makes. It blows my mind to think about how that adds up over time.

    That's a fantastic idea. This is just a thought, but you could also research what causes men to discriminate against women. Follow your heart, Caroline.

    That's a really great idea! I've always found that it isn't fair that men are put on a higher pedestal than women. What career are you looking into? Good luck with your research!

    This is a cool topic. This idea could go for race and other things.

    I think this is a really important issue. I cant wait to see it from both sides of the story.

    The topic of gender equality is growing big as many countries are slowly turning democratic. So you can look at how countries deal with that and rights, such as to vote. There are also many things like religious operation too, and how that's stopping gender equality.

    I find this a very serious problem and am glad that someone is doing this topic. I'm excited to see what you come up with.
