Reflection(1)

     During the conference with professor, we have discussion on my topic of whether if I should keep focus on the change of politic in Iran and religion taboo of Islam, for that it seems too tough and complicated to me because of lacking the correct and objective notion about the international affair and history, also, it is kind of difficult for me to have a totally knowledge about Islam unless I read the Quran by myself in the original language. Also, my previous two annotations are commented as “too vague in topic or issue.” The reason why I received such comments may be that I just cannot see the point why I choose the women’s topic in Islam at the beginning, including what influence me about women’s problem in my growth, what do I really care of them and why. The responses from peers also have familiar opinions, that what the things I truly like to discuss is unclear, whether I would like to define whether it is good or bad that women in Iran have to live under strict Islamic rule, or if I want to fight for their right, or something else. There are also opinions about that it is too narrow to simply mention the problem of women’s right in Islam. Those responses also make me to think further of my topic.

     After the meeting with professor, and also consulting the responses from several peers, I decided to connect and compare with Taiwanese women’s situation and predicament in the present time. Writing about Taiwanese women seems to be more close to our society and my own condition. In short, I will keep focus on the topic of women, compare what are the differences and same portions, no matter on which aspects, such as family or work or traditional practices, between the two seemingly far and different cultures, and what are the reactions from each cultures women or others, and finally, what are the possible resolution.

     In the aspect of resources, I will consider to take on some interview of Taiwanese or Islam women, or women who are Islam in Taiwan, and ask about their opinions. Also, it is likely to talk with other opinion from some experts and professors. Resources from Internet are also available, and I will choose more clearly and particularly, for which research have stronger relationship with my topic.

     Finally, I am reminded of the correct writing style, including the right topic and the citation and reference again. As a punishment, professor said that there would be decrease of my points due to such writing errors. I will pay more attention on those mistakes, try not to make the same again.
