7. What is the outcome youd like to see for this project?
Protesting is an action that is taking place around the world almost constantly.
Something, somewhere is being protested. Personally, I know very little about
protesting other than that it happens. For my inquiry project I am going to base my
question around protesting. More specifically, what are the benefits of protesting
and just how effective is protesting? I believe that this topic and question is worth
studying because just how relevant protesting is throughout the world. I also find it
interesting the different things being protested throughout the different parts of the
world. For example, places like America are protesting for women equality while
other parts of the world are protesting for women to even have any rights. I find
protesting interesting because of how much it happens but often times I do not see
what is being protested changing due to the protests. For example, people will
protest the president of the United States, but he is not going to step down from
office due to these protests. I am curious to find out exactly what benefits from
protesting whether it simply be the unity that can come from it. I do not really have
assumptions about this topic due to how unfamiliar I am with protesting. The
conclusion that I can assume the most is that some people do not protest due to
how effective the protest will be but due to how it can bring people together. But
then again, there is power in numbers. I have done very little research on this topic
but I am planning on using Atkins Library as well as Google Scholar for my sources
when addressing this topic. Some potential issues that I can see arising as I am
trying to research my inquiry question is extremely broad sources, or sources that
are older than what I want to use. I want to research the protesting that is extremely
current in society and I am not sure if there will be articles and e-books that are
writing of such current events. I know there will be articles on protests from
different eras but I am not sure how many there will be that are extremely up-to-
date. The outcome that I would like to see from this project is a personal newfound
knowledge of what exactly protesting is like in the modern day world and just how
effective it truly is. I want to see what the benefits are from both the eye of the
protesters as well as the bystanders, people like me. I want to see this paper reveal
ideas that I had no idea about previously. I want this paper to enlighten protesting
as it is right now in modern day.
