The last time I wrote a research paper was over ten years ago. I have the same exact feelings as I did those ten years ago. Writing this paper has brought on a lot of anxiety, I think honestly because I lack confidence in my work. I feel like it’s not good enough to present the finished product; I have a clear message of what I want to argue and inform the readers on but I don’t quite understand how to execute my thoughts.
My research paper will focus on empowering women and helping young girls and women understand the power behind our voices. I would like to share a brief introduction to my paper to help give you a better understanding of the direction I’m aiming towards for my paper. I’m trying to send a message that we want to shift/ change the negative standards of society to positive ones and promote positive images of women. We want to show women who are smart, women who are physically strong, women who are strong mentally and women who show they are in control of their own destiny. The women that we usually see in the media are women that are over sexualized for the personal gain of selling a product. We need to figure out how we can transition into the mask we want to become and stop living up to social media standards? The empowerment of women has been on the rise, however it still affects our being, knowing and doing. Facing obstacles like sexism, gender discrimination, and gender power are things that would normally deter you from your dreams/goals but we have to shift our mindset and believe that we can rise to the occasion because we are females and we are fearless. The whole message of paper is to show young girls and women that we can be anything they want. Push pass the media’s images of who they think women should be, we can be the next Michele Obama, Layla Ali, Mona Davis, Serena Williams, and Hillary Clinton if we want too. We are so much more than a physical object, we are “beauty and brains” and beauty comes from within. I believe we have much more to offer the world, and that’s what I plan to argue in this research paper.
