Me doing all my research<\/p><\/div>\n
I was able to conduct my own research through a survey that I talked about in a past post<\/a>. \u00a0My survey was about women’s inequality on college campuses. \u00a0Through this research, I wanted to discover how other people felt about the inequality between genders on college campuses and to get their ideas for ways that women could stand up for themselves and their rights. \u00a0I made the survey online so that many people could answer it, and made sure that the survey\u00a0was fast and easy to answer so that people would actually take it. \u00a0The questions that I asked were…<\/p>\n All of my responses were from Santa Clara University (SCU) students which made me able to see how people in my immediate community were reacting to these issues of inequality so that they could potentially be solved one day. \u00a0From these responses, I collected data and quantified it. \u00a0For example, most people agree that there is inequality for women on college campuses.<\/p>\n TABLE 1: There is inequality for women on college campuses <\/em><\/p>\n It wasn’t that surprising to me that most people did not strongly agree or strongly disagree because, since\u00a0times are changing, there are less and less very obvious examples of female inequality, especially on college campuses in California.\u00a0 However, what did surprise me was that one person strongly disagreed.\u00a0 As I investigated that answer, I found that the person who strongly disagreed was a male.\u00a0 However, in Graph 1 this same person responded that he had<\/em> seen an example of gender inequality on campus. \u00a0This could be very indicative of a larger trend of people seeing inequality, but perhaps dismissing it as not important enough to prove that a whole campus has gender inequality.<\/p>\n While many people stated in Graph 1 that they have seen inequality, a significant number of people (23% of respondents – the orange part) stated that they had never seen examples of gender inequality on campus.\u00a0 Now I am not sure if this is true, or if the people just did not want to fill out another short answer question…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This graph and data relates to Table 1 because although 37.5% of people did not agree that there was inequality on college campuses, only 23% reported that they had never seen examples of gender inequality.\u00a0 So, why is it that 4.5% of those people thought that inequality did not exist when they have seen it firsthand?\u00a0 It is possible that they thought this specific question was geared towards men, but since my survey is titled Women Inequality on College Campuses,<\/em> that seems unlikely.\u00a0 Therefore, this data seems contradictory.\u00a0 After all, these respondents said that they did not think that there is inequality for women on college campuses, even though they have seen it firsthand.<\/p>\n After collecting this data, I found that people really needed to be educated on what women really go through, because although times are changing, there is still a lot of inequality and change that needs to happen. \u00a0However, I really only surveyed 24 people, so my data will\u00a0be more conclusive the more people that take it. \u00a0It was fun to get answers and different opinions from my research questions though, because I liked the fact that I was actually getting real answers from my peers and people that I knew; not just random facts that I found in scholarly articles and the internet. \u00a0This little research project actually turned out to be very interesting, so…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Image:<\/strong><\/p>\n Image 1:\u00a0http:\/\/i.giphy.com\/Yiw4aLjpxldhC.gif<\/p>\n Image 2:\u00a0https:\/\/stepenterprise.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/tumblr_mycbt1wm8k1slteg1o1_250.gif<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, it’s official. \u00a0I am a researcher!!
