Multi-Genre Research Proposal



            My topic for my multi-gene research paper is going to be about fashion or racism. I know these two are nowhere near the same thing but I haven’t yet narrowed it down just yet. The reason why I want to do fashion is because fashion is the career field I will be getting into. I want to get my degree in fashion merchandising and become a buyer. A fashion buyer is a person who interacts with wholesalers and clothing manufactures to purchase lines of clothing, shoes and other fashion things. They also work really close with fashion designers. If I do end up doing this topic I will be interviewing my boss who owns Jonathan Alterations Plus. If I do further my research I hope to learn more background and maybe gain some advice to help me in the future. This topic is some meaningful to me because since I’ve worked in an alteration place for about four years now I love everything about it!

            The other topic I might do is racism. Racism is the belief that some races of people are better than others.  The reason I wanted to do this topic is because I have witnessed many cases and not only with African Americans. This topic is a very heavy topic to talk about but it’s still a very serious issue that still goes on today. If I do, do this topic I would interview a lady in my youth group, pastor, or even a family member. If I do further my research on this topic I want to learn how these issues affect them and also more background on it. This topic seems meaningful because I witness things like this on a daily, but they may not be a big as others but I really want to see others inside on this.

  1. I like both of these ideas, although I do think you could do a little more with the racism topic and get some really good primary sources! But the fashion idea might be a little more fun!

  2. It's awesome that you want to go into fashion. I think that would be a really cool topic to learn about for me as a reader. Racism, as you said above, is a very heavy topic, but either way you go it'll be interesting to learn and see your suggestions.

  5. I am also split between two topics. I would like to do research based on my future career, but I am not sure I could find someone to interview.

  6. I think you should write about racism, there is so much information and would be easy to write a lot about it.

  8. Both ideas seem really interesting! I like that the fashion one pertains to your future and career goal. The racism topic could also be really good because so many people over-look it in today's society.

  10. Those are two very different, but good ideas. I would love to hear more about how fashion really works in the business! Either way, you sound like you will have a good project.

  12. I think you should chose fashion so many people are doing papers on sad things. It would be refreshing to see some one talk about something fun and exiting!

  14. Racism is such a broad topic. I think once you figure out your topic you should narrow down what you would like your topic to focus on. I find both of your choices very interesting.

  15. Maybe you could see if there's any research about different fashion styles between races and social classes.

  16. It is clear that both of these topics are very important so maybe see if you can combine the two together!

  17. Racism is definitely a problem in the world that deserves to be researched. There would also be a large amount of people that you could interview, some from today and some that lived in the 50's during the civil rights movement.

  18. A lot of people are saying to do racism, but if you're just as passionate about fashion you might be able to make it work. Research whichever you will have more fun with! There are a lot of things that you could talk about for both of the topics.

  19. You seem to have two very valid points for both topics so go with whichever one you choose because they'll both turn out great.

  23. Both of your topics seem like they would be very interesting. I would go with the one you feel strongly opinionated about.
