The only trouble is that you have to stereotype that belief that the women from all pervious generations that were good God fearing women followed that role. I would have to challenge that idea. Seeing that many women who pushed the womens rights were good God fearing women. Those same women pushed for prohibition believe they had the rights to challenge men for the good of the family. I believe the idea of popular culture challenging religion as a great topic. Why not take a look at the Caste systems of Hinduism and the challenge on that with modern day?

thanks mike

one way to approach this is to find the stats of the number of children per capita of christian women over several generations..........i would guess that while these numbers may be decreasing for american women of european or asian descent that the per capita birth rate may not be declining for women from hispanic cultures

I looked up some U.S. census info last night. It's definitely interesting.

My only concern, and this is only valid depending on how your prof. runs their class because all of them have their own "slant", anyway my concern is that I think that the statement may be inherently illogical. Reason being, if one, in this case a Christian woman, is willing to not only accept the idea that there is a God, but in being a Christian, believe in God and want to be devoted to him (as a Christian would) the thesis asserts that there are other valid "options". But to a Christian, who believes in God, they have made the choice that God is the most important thing in their life, and in doing so, have said that there is really no other "option" more important.

Basically what I'm saying is that being a Christian is a choice, and if someone has made that choice, they have already decided that God is the most important (and only) option.

I've been looking into this info with her because I find it really interesting. I can't find anything credible online or at the library. Can you point me in the right direction? Since it seems you're researching similar topics I'm looking forward to your credible and valuable input. Thanks Ming!!

I'm sure your academic institution provides a network of research databases that provide free access to online electronic publications that are otherwise available only through paid subscriptions.

I use LexisNexis, EBSCO Host, CQ Researcher, Pro Quest, and many others. They provide articles that are written by credible and professional sources that can be referenced.

I don't think your thesis statement is specific enough, as you did not address what those "alternatives" are, in fact, you might want to pick just one of those "alternatives" if this paper is to pin point just a single statement that you'd want to defend. Are you trying to say the old beliefs are no longer valid? Or, a new idea is overtaking the old tradition? If so, which one? Your thesis lacks that specific defending statement. But I know nothing of this particular subject, so I can be completely wrong.

In the past 100 years, social, economic and environmental changes have caused Christian women to call into question previously held ideals regarding motherhood and reproduction, leading many to the belief that a woman seeking to serve God has several other, equally valid options available to her.


Thank you

Your thesis is too broad and generalized. What does "other equally valid options" of motherhood and reproduction mean? Are you talking about adoption, surrogate pregnancies, in vitro fertilizations, sterilization, abortions, the use of birth control other than the rhythm method, lesbianism?

The Christian community is a large, nebulous grouping of very diverse church groups. Some groups feel that using birth control is wrong. Some groups believe that sex outside of marriage is wrong. There are ultraconservative groups and other groups so liberal that almost anything goes.

I think you need to narrow your thesis to something very specific in a clearly defined group. You could also make a very specific statement about a broad group.

If I were doing the paper on Christianity, I would do it on one of two topics. "Christianity is a liberating experience" or "Christianity is the biggest ego trip". The first one would be based on Galatians 3:28 where Paul wrote "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus". This is such an ultra-radical concept written at a time where women were treated as chattel. All people are equal in God's eyes--how cool is that!

The second thesis I would also start off in Galatians 3:26 - 4:7 where it says that we are the sons and heirs of God. God is the Creator and King of the whole universe. Christians believe they are royalty. What an incredible concept to think that the King of the universe is interested in us, loves us, adopted us, died for us. All Christians should act like the royalty that God says they are.

"In the past 100 years, social, economic and environmental changes have caused Christian women to call into question previously held ideals regarding motherhood and reproduction, leading many to the belief that a woman seeking to serve God has several other, equally valid options available to her."

The "other, equally valid options" part is a bit ambiguous. Are you talking about ways to serve God other than by producing children? Are you referring to women serving as pastors/ministers/priestesses?

I think your thesis has potential, but you do need to be more specific (as a lot of people have already said).

I have to say that the title you gave this thread threw me off, I thought you were looking for British Skinheads...
