All of the sources I have found for my research paper will come in great use to argue the main points I want to focus on. The first thing I did for this research process was just searching my main points, which are the salary differences of men and women CEOs and why men are chosen in the workforce over women. Also, I searched reasons why women might be beneficial to a company. For the salary difference point I found many different sites with a lot of different numbers, but I tried to look for at the more up to date pages. It was cool to see though how the salaries of CEOs have changed over time, but not to see that women are still getting paid less. Then I looked up reasons men are chosen more often than men in occupation spots like a CEO. I found many reasons why workers would rather have men over women in a leadership spot. Most of the sites said that women are more emotional, catty, moody, etc. After finding that, I found reasons why women should be in charge to argue that last point I searched about. I did find many facts and professional opinions that showed the women leaders (CEOs) would be more beneficial to their company. I agree with most of the facts that I have found and they do make really good points. All of these sources I have found except for maybe two or three are important to my paper. The ones that I am going to use give a good amount of information that will help my paper have as much as it can to argue my main points. Then, the other ones that I do not really want to use have little information to help my paper. Also, some of them are out of date and for my one document I used for my synthesis paper, there is no information referring to my topic. I feel that I have enough information to get my point across and make this paper a good argument research paper.
I think that it was good that you were able to find a lot of information from sites that were up to date and reliable and and that you were able to identify which websites would not be so good to use. I also agree with you about the fact that one of your documents from the synthesis does not go with your topic so it makes it hard to include the document into your research paper.
ReplyDeleteTo add to Gabby's comment I feel you did a great job recognizing that a source was too outdated because in most cases the older the info is the less relevant it will be to your current day topic. Especially since your paper will include numbers that have to be accurate to today. In my opinion you might need one or two more strong sources to use because I thought I was surprised with a source in which I could have gotten more out of than what I actually did in my rough draft.
ReplyDeleteI think that you found a lot of information that will be very beneficial to your paper. I like how you looked up information on how much they get paid whether or not they were male or female, and also how you got the reasons for both sides on why a certain gender would be hired or not. It will make for a very interesting topic.
