paper one

When i realized how fast the papers were coming up it made me panic. i think its hard to pick a random topic and write about it. there are so many topics in the world to write about and then to have to narrow it down is actually more difficicult then i thought it was going to be. so the first topic that i decided to write about is something that used to be a big controversy, but really doesnt get brought up too much anymore: womens rights in the workplace and discrimination.
this is an important topic to me because i get treated like shit at the place where i work. all of the guys think they can talk to me and treat me however hey damn well please and its completely disrespectful and rude.
in this paper i started out by using background information and statisitics on what the full time working woman used to make compared to a man, and then what the full time working woman makes to a man now. and surprisingly it is still 23 cents less to a mans whole dollar. So, this is something i feel wound catch any womans attention and draw them into wanting to read the paper.
then i also put my own experience in and talked about how there is sex discrimination at my job and what they do that i cant. i also put other peoples experience and stories in and talked about what was said in the interview that i conducted. also i found information with peoples stories and how they have sewed people for sex and race discrimination in the workplace. it happens alot more than people may realize. many people think it has died and that there isnt any discrimination, but there in fact still is.

  1. I know how you feel right now. I am really stressed because I feel like this paper came up extremely quickly! I think your topic is an important one because, although it was a big controversy, it still goes on. Your view will be very important because you have experienced it personally. Liked your blog. :)
