Blog Assignment #14
Me and Alaina are just about finished our final draft of our research project. We have some tiny details that we want to go over but other than that we feel as if our project is the best it can be. We believe that our paper will have an impact on anyone who decides to read it. We give a detailed explanation as to why our thesis statement "Social media has influenced toxic behaviors in young women by making them insecure." holds a very real meaning. We give a wide variety of meaningful statistics as well as counter arguments for our stance on the matter. So that the audience does not finish our paper with questions and concerns about our argument. Something that really helped guide us through the writing process in this project was not just watching Miss Representation but reading the transcript because this gave us a better understanding of the films discourse, the better we understood the film the better we could present our opinions that were supported by facts we found. Alaina and I have recently finished our first draft of our research project. In order to make revisions, we brought our hard copy of the project to class on Thursday along with a print out of the assignment sheet. After receiving feedback from Professor Mangini and making the appropriate changes our paper will be complete. We hope that our project has significant impact on not only teenage girls, but women as a whole. The points that we focus on are extremely important when involving toxic behavior in young women. We want to see change in the future when it comes to social media degrading women and making them feel less beautiful. Our goal for this paper was truely to make meaning and show how women are worth more than what is portrayed through media. In class thursday we went over our citations as well as the things necessary to fully develop our argument. This was important because Alaina and I have to make sure we are giving credit to others where credit is due. As well as making sure our argument is strong and doesn't have any flaws so that our opinions are viewed as valid and our credibility as strong. We also reviewed our classmates prefaces, this helped because having another set of eyes looking at your work can help find mistakes you overlooked. Another very important thing Alaina and I did this week for our project was re-evaluate our sources and make sure they were credible sources, if they were not then a lot of our argument would be false or unbelievable.

I like how you talked about your essay. I also like how you shared your thesis statement and how helpful the film transcript was for your writing.
