Topic
Women’s diversity and fight for equality in the 21st century differ from the liberation of women in the 20th century.
Hypothesis
The diversification and fight for equality in the 21st century cannot compare to the 20th. In the past century men aged 25-54 were literate with post-secondary education were but today women are more educated than men. Most women go to school today, unlike the 20th century.
Research Questions
Did women liberation in the 20th century differ from women’s equality and diversification in the 21st century?
Disciplines
The disciplines incorporated in this proposal include sociology and gender studies.
Justification
The topic above is in relation to issues that women have faced from the 20th century including lack of proper education. Gender studies is an interdisciplinary area that analyses gender identity and representation. This field is the best for the topic above because it encompasses all issues that revolve around gender that are both male and female issues around the globe and at all times. It also encompasses various studies that relate to masculinity and femininity in the society and the representation of the different sexes in such fields for instance education and film (Laurie & Hickey-Moody, 2015). Gender studies are not biased and do not take sides on either gender but discuss all of them as one. Sociology on the other is a field under social sciences that aims at studying the functioning, structure, and development of human society. This branch of studies is beneficial to the above topic as it will help understand the relations, patterns, and interactions that exist in human societies pertaining to culture and how they relate or conflict with the position that women have in society today.
