inquiry project round 2
This semester we are repeating our Inquiry Project that we did last year but with a new essential question and groups. My group is Katie Ho, Rishika Daryanani (sorry if I spelled your name wrong Rishika), Cecilia Yeung, and myself. We are reading books that are going to give us a better perspective on the oppression of women around the world. As we are all females, I think that this topic will be something that will really open my eyes. We live in about the most modern city and country in the world where women are - generally speaking - viewed as equal. However, how much discrimination occurs that we are so used to or expect that we don't even see it as wrong? Hopefully our research will reveal what women go through just to have a life where they are treated half as fairly as we are everyday. On one hand, I feel like there is still a significant amount of sexism in all parts of the world, but on the other, I feel as though we take for granted how lucky American women are. I think this may be the perspective from which I write my essays. Hopefully this topic is not as depressing as my one last semester was.

I very much agree with you Lila, I can also see how and why there would be sexism all around the world. I guess somethings just never change.
ReplyDeleteI find that reading about women's oppression, won't be depressing, as much as it would be interesting, to see how women have grown over the years. Although, it may be sad and hard to read, it'll be fascinating. Sexism will always be apparent, unfortunately...

Hey Lila!
ReplyDeleteI find your topic very interesting. What are your books? And what was your topic last semester? P.S you did spell Rishikas Name correctly.
