I chose to pick a career-focused (kind of) research topic. I will go into depth about women in the workplace, how things have changed over time, and the things women face while working in today's economy. I will be interviewing two male coworkers of mine. The first one is my manager, Steven, and another is just a team member, Averie. I will also choose to interview a female coworker, Amorette, and my mom, Shanna.
I know that women have come very far in the workplace. More and more women are being looked up to for their schooling and accomplishments rather than just doing the dishes at home and staying with the kids all day. I would like to learn more about specific struggles that are still problems today involving women, and maybe why some are still being held back from pursuing a reliable career. I will be collecting information through statistics that I will be searching for by using trustworthy sources. I will reference a book that I have also read, Lean In, by Sheryl Sandberg.
I find this topic personally meaningful as a woman because I can see how easily it is to become discouraged in such a competitive economy. The natural born traits of women are simply different from men, and the fact that more and more women are finding ways to overcome those challenging obstacles is very interesting.
I think it's interesting that you're going to interview your male coworkers. I'd like to know their view on women in the workplace.
ReplyDeleteIt may be good to interview a male that's a little older like you're doing with your mom to see if the opinion changes at all.
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting. I hope you're research is a success.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have a good idea of what you want to include in your research. I'm interested to find out what they say in their interviews.
ReplyDeletethis is a good idea, I hope you find what you need
ReplyDeleteI wonder what holds some women from pursing a career.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be helpful if you interviewed some women in college who are pursuing a career
ReplyDeleteAre you just using your coworkers opinions of men vs. women? You could probably find some good statistics on this topic.
ReplyDeleteGood topic! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGo women power
ReplyDeleteReally cool idea, Seems like it will turn out really well!
ReplyDeleteThis could turn out really interesting. I cant wait to see the finished project.
ReplyDeleteHaving personal stories as well as books will help you a lot while writing this paper.
ReplyDeleteOur topics will be similar! Yay! But I think I'm going to focus on the treatment of women from a cultural standpoint throughout the world. Can't wait to read yours! #twinning
ReplyDeleteGreat topic. You go girl!
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to look at the sexism is the workplace especially in your career.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say "You go girl!" but Krista stole my thunder.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great topic and you could open peoples eyes to the good side of feminism.
ReplyDeleteYou should include women who are wildly successful.. like look up my girl Opera or Tyra Banks maybe one of the ladies on shark tank? Just a suggestion.
ReplyDeleteI am excited to see the results of your research, mainly because it will be coming from you. I love you Tori.
