Choose a topic that investigates gender systems. You may choose to investigate an aspect of your own culture or from a culture that you are less familiar with.
There are many ways to approach developing your topic. You may choose a specific social structure such as work or education and investigate how it is gendered. Some of our readings will familiarize you with these areas. You may also challenge the limited gender categories that our society offers. Discussing or emailing your course instructor with your topic ideas is encouraged, but not required.
Your report will require the following: Title page, introduction, essay body, conclusion, and references.
The title page is an essential part of your essay. While the specific details of title pages might vary according to the requirements of particular subjects, the following information is fairly standard. Your title page should include: title of assignment (i.e., the essay question or topic), your name, course code, course instructor, department, and due date (i.e., the date on which the essay is due).
A title page does more than provide a space for the name of the writer of the essay. It is the part of your essay that will create the first (and often lasting) impression about you as a writer. Write a title! Be creative.
The introduction to your essay is probably the most important part of your text. It gives your reader an indication of what to expect in terms of quality, substance, and interest.
Many students find that writing an introduction is often the most difficult part of the essay because of the importance of the introduction to the essay’s structure and the difficulty of getting started. Remember that all statements of fact need citations. Introductory paragraphs need citations too.
The conclusion ties together the main threads of your argument. It should not be used for introducing new information. The point of a conclusion is to provide a sense of closure for your essay.
However, depending on the topic and/or subject area, you can use the conclusion to reflect on future developments in the field or the ramifications that your findings might have for future research in the area.
In essence, the conclusion sums up your main ideas. Fundamentally, it should leave the reader in no doubt that you have demonstrated what you set out to do.
You are required to identify and acknowledge all sources of information in a reference section. This is a list of sources at the end of your essay. These will also need to be referenced in your text whenever they are used.
Minimum requirement for length – 8 pages (not including title page or reference page), 12 point, standard margins (1 inch around). Minimum of 7 academic sources. The text may be included as one source.
Grading areas will include strength/relevance of topic, content, spelling, grammar, writing style, and meeting assignment criteria. Specific attention will be paid to proper referencing and academic writing rules.

Overview
For this paper, you will examine the online comments section a media story of your choice. For example, comments in a story posted in a digital newspaper, TikTok comments, You Tube comments, Twitter comments, Facebook comments of a news story , Reddit, or something similar.
Decide on your research question. Many researchers start with nothing specific in mind (inductive reasoning) or with a very specific idea in mind (deductive reasoning). You could think about looking for signs of racism, sexism, ageism, homophobia, transphobia, or body shaming, or body positivity, for example.
Past researchers have looked for certain themes (i.e., research questions):
* what kind of personal information do people share on twitter? * do people believe election results?
* do most commenters have a negative view about being overweight?
You’re going to look for patterns. You should pick a certain kind of story or blog to examine and then read through the comments of that story as well as other similar stories. What patterns can you find?
Paper Guidelines
3-4 page (no cover page is necessary)
double-spaced
margins no more than one inch
font no larger than 12 point
Your paper should include the following headings (shown in bold).
1) Introduction/Methodology
The first part of your paper should be an introduction to the topic or issue that you will be discussing. Here is also where you’ll describe your methodology – where you gathered your data, from which online sources, and approximately how many comments were read and analyzed.
Describe your research question.
2) Findings
Once you’ve decided on your topic and research question, and decided on your methodology, you’re going to examine the language of the commenters.
What did you discover? You are looking for patterns.
* Were comments negative or positive?
* Was there a a word or words or term that was used repeatedly?
* Was there underlying racism/sexism/ageism?
* Was there a pattern of topics most commented upon? Giving percentages or counting is expected.
Here is an example:
Researcher Joyce reads the Daily Mail (online gossip paper) every day for a week. She reads every story that relates to Meghan Markle and then examines the “most popular” comments in each story. She finds that 2/3rds of the comments posted each day on each story included racist terms or derogatory comments about Meghan Markle. The finding is that most people who comment on the Daily Mail stories have prejudicial thoughts about Ms. Markle.
3) Analysis
In the analysis portion, you look at the patterns found in your findings, and analyze the meanings of these patterns.
* What general conclusions can you make based on your data?
* What might the comments made say about our culture or society?
* What messages are being sent about the writers of the posts?
* How might the comments impact the subjects of the comments (ex: are people being racist, sexist)?
* How might the patterns you discovered impact people reading them on a societal level? (For example, if there are a lot of body positive comments on a TikTok video. might that show that young people are very open to differing body types?)
4) Conclusion
The last part of your paper should be the conclusion. This is the time to wrap up your ideas and concluding thoughts. Read over your paper completed paper and make sure any point you might have brought up has been resolved, discussed and dealt with in a clear manner.
