Topic description

I have surely learned a huge amount of information from my topic. My topic is, rights and responsibilities of women in World War II. I was actually surprised by the amount of mistreat towards women during the duration of WW2. Women had far less opportunities and benefits than men. Most groups of women in WW2 did gain multiple beneficial rights and factors that would lead to almost the end of gender inequality in war.

Women in World War II had many different roles they could act as. Some jobs included being a nurse, air-force, navy, coast guard, working on the home front, and in general in the women's army corps. In my opinion the group that had the most difficult time in gender inequality was the air-force women. The air-force for women was called the WASP. There received tremendously low training, pay, and benefits of any kind. For a period of time women in the American military didn't have correct uniform badges or patches that signified their standing or rank in their group. Women were put at stack just as much as men though. Even the home front jobs were difficult. Women would often take place of their husband who went off to war. Some of those jobs included machinery work, factory working, rationing food, supplying, etc. In conclusion, women basically had it tough all the way through World War II.

My topic is women's rights and responsibilities in World War II. I've narrowed my topic down mainly to American women and World War II. During the time period of World War II women were as 'equal' as men were in those situations. My topic goes deep into the roles that women were allowed to participate in and their responsibilities as a woman in war. The emerging rights for women in war is important because it laid a foundation for women for  upcoming years. Women had always been known as the lesser value, in say war. In World War II, women were allowed homebound, militant type, and nursing roles. It's an important topic for the progression of women in war to come.
My research to-do list in mainly composed of digging deeper within my topic. I'd love to conduct an interview with a woman who was part of service in WW2. I'd like to evaluate my sources as well, make sure they're thorough.

Chanler - What would happen in a world where it was the child's choice to go to school? Would you go to school?

If school were optional I'd definitely go. Come to think of it, I would go off and on kind of. If the entire population of kids in the world had the choice, that would be chaos. I think it would have to depend on the age and maturity level. I mean, you can't expect a 5th grader to want to come to school everyday even though they need to. If that was the case and kids had a choice after a certain age it'd be a little bit manageable. Otherwise, if they could choose right off the bat if they wanted to or not it'd be complete chaos. Personally I would go because educational as a whole is important to me. If I'd like to go anywhere in life, I'd like to get the proper education to succeed my goals.
