Semester Reflection

Social Studies 10: Reflection

This semester, I completed an independent inquiry project about women’s rights. The most important parts of this project where probably how women didn’t have their right to be humans and be able to speak and have their own vote. But women’s, in the 1900s were a big help in the war as nurses and they also worked in factories, also took care of their kids and their husbands. I gathered this information by going through recourses and websites to find this information and have a better understanding. Here is some information I found interesting, if married, most women stayed at home to look after the children while their husband worked and brought in a weekly wage. Most working women were unmarried, and they were limited to roles in teaching, nursing, or domestic work. For most, the expectation was that they would get married and have children. That is just interesting news that I saw and that made me want to do my inquiry project on women’s right so I can learn more about it. This from the 1900s and till now is different because the world has changed, and women nowadays have more rights.

Core Competency Reflection

I use evidence to make judgements or decisions, as demonstrated in my inquiry project because whatever I would write I would always have evidence and information explaining what it was about. I also had some judgements during the inquiry projects based on how people were treated. That made me think that why were people treated so differently. I respectfully advocate for my needs by arguing and showing my opinion in this inquiry project, and showing what is not right. There was a lot of information that I found in this inquiry project that wasn’t right and how women had to get married and when they were married, they were just owned by their husbands and must do everything that they said. I have valuable ideas to share about women’s rights and do so by showing the information in my inquiry project about how I feel about this and what is not right.
