Research was one of the types of writing I have done throughout all my years of school. I never truly enjoyed writing research, unless it was on a topic I was heavily interested in. I had to write a research paper for ever year of high school. Freshman to senior year the work just seemed to get harder. There were more requirements, more note cards, more pages, ect. It always seemed more of a chore, that is why I never liked writing them. I feel that if I was able to choose my own topic I would enjoy writing research a lot more.
For our class's Research Project, I will be targeting young women when writing about how social media can influence toxic behaviors in teenage girls. From watching the film "Miss Representation" in class, it gave me a lot more insight and information about what young women face in today's society and it will help me throughout writing this paper. I talked about this film in Blog Assignment #10, along with the second film "The Mask You Live In". Which focuses on what men struggle with on a daily basis involving masculinity. I explain my thoughts about this film in Blog Assignment #11. Another short clip I focused on for this project was Plato's Cave which I disscuss in Blog Assignment #12. I explain how both films about men and women can still have a lot of similarities to Platos cave considering that, that clip is based in a time period thousands of years ago. We still have the same issues in todays generation involving both men and women and nothing is being done to fix it .This project is going to be co-authored with my partner Daniel Weaver Cooke and the genre we are going to be using for our research paper is MLA format. We have previously worked on a few blog assignments together, Blog Assignments #13 and #14. We explained our project and what we have been working on so far to give a better understanding of what our paper is going to be about.
