I chose to write the paper that I did because it was a topic that I was already extrememly interested in and very well read in. I didn't so much have assumptions about the topic that I was researching as I did an already founded knowledge base, so throughout my research I didn't get suprised or shocked too much.
With that being said - when looking at the uprise of women in technology and how their success in different countries around the world hindered or limited their success due to traditions, cultural influences or government control, I think that I was most suprised about some of the sociological differences that you find in other countries. Not shocked in the "oh my, I didn't realize the rest of the world was different than me" but more in the "are you kidding me about that" sense.
While I understand and realize that women in other countries have it harder per say than I do, but it is always hard for me to process that while I am living in 2015 and it is okay for me to make more money than my husband - there are other countires where this is just not accepted. Where women are urged not to get educated and just be the stay at home wives who have children. I understand that that is the family dynamic, but when there are women who don't accept that the backlash is horrifying.
I think that the message that I will be communicating through my paper will shock some, but inspire most. The women that will be discussed have made significan controbutions to the world (many parts of it forgotten) that have done a lot of good - and if continually focused on and developed more could be a game changer in the future.
I can't wait for the whole paper to come along - but I am also not the type of person to pic a topic on my own that I don't already know a lot about.
