Part 1: Creating a Research Question
1.
Describe how your assumptions, beliefs, and values influenced your choice of topic.
My choice of topic is within women’s rights. My personal beliefs that women should have the right to choose what they do with their own body influenced me to research this topic. Me being a woman, this topic affects me as well as all other women around the United States.
2.
Discuss the significance of your historical research question in relation to your current event.
The relation of my historical research question and the current event is history is repeating itself. Women’s right to abortions have been placed back into the hands of lawmakers. Which will in turn make it difficult for women seeking abortions to have access to them as the courts have overturned Roe. V Wade. 3.
Explain how you used sources to finalize your research question.
While researching and reading through different literature I was able to finalize my research based off the repeated facts and narratives given multiple times. Instead of focusing on wrong and right I was able to question the effects because there is supporting facts behind them. Part 2: Building Context to Address Questions
1.
Describe the context of your historical event that influenced your current event.
Historically women have been in a back and forth battle with law makers regarding access to safe abortions. Women’s rights to abortions have been stripped away in the past and then given
back to them many years later. Bringing us back to the current event the court has overturned Roe V. Wade and now women across the sates are having their rights taken away from them. 2.
Describe a historical figure or group’s participation in your historical event.
One key historical figure or group in the history of abortion is Jane Roe in the Roe V. Wade class action lawsuit that challenged the constitutionality of Texas criminal abortion laws. This provided all 50 states with protection to abortions. Jane Roe was the name given to Norma McCorvey to keep her identity confidential during the case. 3.
Explain the historical figure or group’s motivation to participate in your historical event.
The motivation for the Roe V. Wade was to overturn and change the laws against abortions. The
restrictions that were placed on abortions and the medical professionals who were performing them. Part 3: Examining How Bias Impacts Narrative
1.
Describe a narrative you identified while researching the history of your historical event.
A narrative I identified while researching the history of abortions and its laws was 2.
Articulate how biased perspectives presented in primary and secondary sources influence what is known or unknown about history.
A biased perspective will only provide the information about a topic that supports their bias. One bias perspective can make push a religion or whatever their agenda is. Making it only about religion and nothing further. Leaving out critical information that can help inform and educate. This results in only one side of history being told. 1
3.
Identify the perspectives that you think are missing from your historical event’s narrative.
Two perspectives that I think are missing are culture and nationality. A lot of the narrative is focused on political persuasion, education, religion, and social status. Not very much of nationality or the cultural background of the individuals being impacted by this event. Part 4: Connecting the Past With the Present
1.
Explain how researching its historical roots helped improve your understanding of your current event.
Exploring my research question has improved my understanding of historical roots of abortion and the laws created. Before researching and reading on the topic I only knew a little about the abortion laws. Up until now I had not ever laid eyes on the actual transcript from the Supreme Court case. Researching and exploring has shown me that the fight for abortion rights goes back further than 1973 as I originally thought. 2.
Articulate how questioning your assumptions, beliefs, and values may benefit you as an individual.
We as people come from different cultures and in those cultures, we are taught differently and have values that differ form others. That doesn’t necessarily make one belief or value right over the other. So, questioning my assumptions and beliefs and values can benefit me because it allows me to see things from a different perspective. It also allows me to understand that different biases can teach me things I had not known because of what I learned before was taught from one perspective. 3.
Discuss how being a more historically informed citizen may help you understand contemporary issues.
Being more historically informed can benefit us when it comes to contemporary issues. When these issues arise people will have a better understanding of how to go about solving or adding the issue if they know the historical facts behind them. It also helps people from not repeating the same mistakes from the past when attempting to solve whatever issue it is that arises. With less repeated mistakes it leads to a faster resolution. 2
