Assignment: What "LGBT population" do you think you should learn more about over the course of this semester? Why? What do you assume to be true about this population? Where did you learn this from? What do you think will be the most difficult challenge that you will have in doing research on the population or issue that you have selected?
I think I should learn more about LGBT pre-teens and teenagers because they are the age group that I interact with most often and I may also have children some day so I would like to be educated on the subject. Some assumptions I have about this population is that something usually happens in their life to trigger LGBT behaviors, they are usually pretty moody (but that's probably true about any teenager), and there has been an increased amount of teenage suicide related to LGBT issues. I have learned most of this information from the internet, media and just society in general. The biggest challenge I will have in doing research on this population is formulating an unbiased research question just because of the many societal biases that everyone has been subjected to.
Hi Ava,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your post on LGBT pre-teens and teenagers. As there are more news articles published about this population all the time, I believe that you will find a great deal of articles to choose from on this topic for your Alternative Viewpoints paper!
If you need assistance crafting your research question, or coming up with keywords, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Professor Wexelbaum
