RJA #15b: Reflection on What You Learned

I learned a lot about how to use the online databases. As my career as a student, learning how to use the databases will be vital for my work as I continue my studies.

RJA #14: Annotated Bibliography, Part 2

1) English, Jane. Sex Equality in Sports. Champaign, IL: Human Kinetics, 2001. 211-18. Print.- This is one of the books that i used for one of my sources. It supported my arguments better than any of my other sources. It explains how everyone is eligible to basic benefits. For example, Sports are about having fun, good exercise, and the ability to learn from the experience.

2) Berlow, Lawrence. Sports Ethics. Santa Barbara, Ca: ABC-CLIO, 1994. 41-44. Print.- This is one of the books that I used as a source. It was great because it supported many of the arguments that I presented. It was basically about sexism in sports and how everyone has an equal right to play, not because of build, strength, or anything like that, but ability.

3) www.infoplease.com/spot/womeninsportstimeline2.html- This was an online source, I will properly format this in my final paper. This was a website that showed a timeline of all the great things that women have accomplished in sports.

4) www.hayleywickenheiser.com/bio.html -this website was a bibliography of one the women that I use in my paper to support women's competition in sports.

5) (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/extramustard/03/28/25.toughest.athletes/1.html) -this website gave me a list of some of the toughest athletes around. Among these MEN in the list, one woman showed up, Hayley Wickenheiser.

6) Gender and Sexual Equality in Sports- this periodical helped me out a lot. In this periodical, it mentioned things that had to do with equality. It had many points that supported my arguments and also showed me the opposing views that I am going to use in my paper.

RJA #13a: Field Research Report

My field research was basically a survey conducted on athletes on campus and random students. My survey was simple.

1a. Do you think women should be able to compete with men in sports?
1b. Why?

I asked 10 female athletes and 10 male athletes. After I asked the athletes, I asked 10 random students.

It surprised me to see that most of the girls didn't want to compete with guys. Not because they were afraid to lose or anything like that, but that they enjoyed just playing with girls.

Many of the male athletes responded in the same way. "It isn't about who's better, but it's about who you play with." A male athlete said this because he really didn't care if they played together or not. He was more interested in just playing the game with friends and other class mates.

Many of the random students didn't really care, so many just responded with a, "yea, i guess." Which really didn't help me at first. Then made me realize that I can use it to my advantage in my paper.

RJA #12a: Progress Report

I am making great progress. My paper is almost done. I had a minor set back by losing my flash drive and having to retype everything, but now I have mostly all my things back on track. Things I need to work on are just my work cited page and making sure I get 3500 words in my paper. I will have my paper done before December 1st.

RJA #12b: Presentation Plan

For my presentation, I will most likely just talk about my view on the topic first. After that, I plan on telling both sides of the argument. I will first go through the arguments of the people who are against women competing in sports. Then I will explain the arguments of the people who are for women competing in sports. After that, I plan on just wrapping up with my sources.
