Assignment 2: Project outline

Introduce the overall topic and idea you will be looking at. How does your research idea build on uses of language you have noticed around you that relate to gender and/or sexuality? 

My overall theme is:

Why more and more gender opposition remark is appearing on the Internet?

Source of ideas:

I have noticed that discussions about gender and sexuality have become increasingly prevalent on social media, online forums, and the Internet, accompanied by challenging and polarizing discourses.

My research path is:

1. Focus on watching videos and reports on gender related topics, analyze article content and comments

2. I conducted an interview with several friends around me to discuss their views on this issue

3. Review relevant literature and social survey results

4. Collect these comments and conduct integrated analysis

5. Complete a paper

My research idea:

This phenomenon often occurs in topics of gender inequality, such as when we discuss whether to give women more maternity and physiological leave. For women, this demand is reasonable, but for bosses, they are more willing to hire men who do not need maternity leave, which also affects gender discrimination in the workplace. At the same time, women will also argue for more holidays, which will inevitably touch the interests of men.

Male and female consciousness struggle, lack of trust

On the internet, people can express their opinions relatively anonymously, which may make it easier for some people to adopt radical or conflicting statements because they do not have to bear the associated face-to-face social risks.

Social media platforms usually present content to users based on their interests and viewpoints, which can lead to users being placed in information “bubbles” and only seeing information that matches their existing viewpoints, without being easily exposed to other viewpoints.

Causing opposing topics is beneficial for attracting traffic and bringing business benefits to oneself

What is your research question?

How does gender inequality manifest on social media

Is online violence related to gender

Has social media exacerbated gender political divisions

How does false information affect gender opposing views on the internet

What evidence is there to support that this is happening? (Can you find a broader and authoritative citation to prove that this phenomenon does indeed occur, or relevant news reports?)

What are the differences in daily life between people who enjoy publishing opposing opinions online and those who do not

Do they face significant life pressure, emotional state, and family atmosphere?

What is the relationship between this and the increasing development of women’s rights? For example, the “feminism” doctrine that appears online.

How do these comments affect social attitudes, communication methods, and gender relationships?

What data source will you use (e.g. Media: movie, TV, youtube; Interviews; Survey; Online data: social media; newspaper comments)?

Comments on YouTube, TikTok, and related content online,

Interviews with friends around me,

Relevant academic literature, social survey results

What are two readings from the course (or outside of it) that you could apply?
