Making the argument
With all of the inequality and gender that I have been writing about it was time to put all of my knowledge through an argument. I would be stating an argument why the reason women are facing inequality is because they’re not getting equal media coverage that they deserve.
Where to start
As I started this process buy a nationally talking about media and the gender gap in arguing that the media was a big influence I reared my direction into the core reason women are facing inequality and that media is an influence. Yes I will discuss the gender gap but is more focused on the media. I found many examples of inequality within sports but I decided to address one big case. The US Women’s National Team won their third world cup against Japan and was awarded a total of 2 million dollars. The fact that men got paid more than that just for losing was degrading. I found that I could write a lot about that. Going into professional athletes with in soccer I found that they don’t just struggle with inequality if they also struggled for opportunity. There are many differences dealing with professional women’s and men’s soccer. For instance women play on artificial turf where men play on real grass. When men stay in hotel rooms they stay at the opposite luxury hotel where women stay at the same hotel as their opponent.
Problems
What I initially had problems with his my introduction. I knew what I wanted to talk about the how did I get in to address it and introduce it. Because I was talking about inequality how was I going to get a good hook to get people in instead of just all this is just another inequality argument.
What helped
What really helped me was the annotated bibliography that I had done a couple weeks ago on this argument. It was a good thing to be able to go back and find things that related to beer my argument in the right direction. Although I did do some further research it was very light and I had most of my sources already in place. All I seem to do is make the official argument.
