I thought my first 5 pages were well thought out and up to the standards for this research paper. He wants me to narrow it down to one specific industry instead of just talking about all CEOs; I knew he wanted this by reading his comments on my first five pages. So I went in thinking that I wanted that industry to be healthcare CEOs because I knew there was a woman CEO for Capital Blue Cross since my mom works there, this women CEO resigned and now there is a man CEO. During my conference with Dr. Archibald, I got many new ideas to add and to change for my research paper. In my first paragraph he wants me to give specific examples of the rights women have instead of just naming them and connect it to the women’s movement. It is going to turn out to be a timeline of examples when these rights were claimed and then end with women are still looking for the equality when it comes to business and being economically equal. Also, he wants me to research specific points for this new topic. These points are what is holding women back, is the healthcare industry a success for women, and why can’t this happen in other industries. I need basic fact as well like salary, compensation, promotions to explain where I want to go with this topic. In the end, I will explain with levels I created that will help women have success in this position. What I plan to do now is do more research on these specific points and rearrange my paper to follow my new topic of healthcare CEOs.
I'm glad your research paper is coming together. It sounds like your first 5 pages were already well organized, and now you have a clear direction for where to go next with your research. Dr. Archibald gave you helpful advice on which kind of CEO's to search for (healthcare CEO's) and information that will back up your arguments.
ReplyDeleteIt might be a lot easier to just focus on one specific group or area of CEOs that way you can find out more specific examples and that will help your reasearch be more focused. I like your idea of using healthcare in CEOs because you found the connection with your mom working there.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Gabby and Ben to the fullest extent when saying that you seem to have a great grasp on your position right now in what further additions are needed for your paper. I would like to remind you to not forget to implicate your own opinion in the the paper when finding what exactly holding women back in the first place for example. I am sure that you already have a strong one via the connection of having a mom that works at Capital Blue Cross.
ReplyDeleteI think that is a good thing that you are narrowing down your paper, because this way you will be able to really focus in on more specific areas. This will help draw in the reader’s attention more and your research will probably be much easier.
