This is really, really crazy. A dissertation?...how about a sentence or two. The original post on this forum stated what the research project entailed; which, at the time, had already been completed. I wasn't looking for any material; I was just curious about your thoughts or views. Anyone could have responded to the first paragraph, which in part states, Their conclusion was that white sorority women in this sample regarded sorority membership as a way to lead a productive social life that they hoped would enable them to get a man. In contrast, African American women's sorority participation centered on community service and career advancement. The two types of sorority appear to be structured to facilitate different agendas: for white women, short-term participation geared to meeting men and for black women, long-term participation geared to furthering both individual careers and the uplifting of the race through community projects. . What is so vague about that statement? Whether you agree or not agree with the authors' conclusion would have been sufficient.
The second paragraph could have been addressed in the same manner. Do you agree or not agree with Ms. Dunlap? Do you feel a sense of connection to your community, or are you primarily concerned with your own personal self and accomplishments? What are your personal views about a man in your life. Do you need one to feel fulfilled? What motivates you as you proceed through life? Anything would have sufficed.
I’m not the most intelligent person in the world, but I know where my intelligence lies. And I make it a point not to be vague, verbally or in the written word. Unfortunately, everyone expended more energy trying to tell me how obscure my statement was, where a small amount of that energy would have answered the question. If this was a point of pros and cons on a particular issue, we could trade words back and forth all day. However, this all stems from no one giving me a single thought on a not too difficult statement. It makes me wonder if you didn’t have a view one way or the other, and if that was the case; I would have accepted that.
