A good question for a research paper is attainable, as in it can be answered. I think that a good question also triggers a lot of thought and a good question has many other questions that stem from it. This makes it interesting and it makes it so you can keep learning more and more about your initial question.
The central questions for my paper are "How has Title IX changed college athletics?" and also asking if it's provided enough equality in women's sports, and also how men's sports have been affected by it as well. I may touch on what races benefited the most from Title IX as well. I have played sports my whole life but long after Title IX was enacted and so I don't really know how it improved programs for women and girls. I was already lucky enough to play with more benefits than others before me.
As far as the other assignments leading up to this point I've found some good questions to answer and I'm excited about my research and what i'll learn. I hope that I can help educate about how there is still some inequality in our word today and even though we've made some big strides from the 1900's that there are still battles worth fighting for, and one of them is the battle that women have when trying to be competitive in athletics.
This Youtube video is centered around the WNBA. Many players wouldn't have had the opportunity to play professionally if Title IX wasn't enacted. I like what Sue Bird had to say, she said that she didn't know what it was like to play without it, and that's kind of the stance I take on it too. I'm grateful I was born into an era where I didn't have to fight as much to compete even though I am a girl. If you notice in the video, a lot of the women are African-American, or not Caucasian, and may be from a foreign country. These women benefit from Title IX also.
