My first research topic is regarding the Pink tax, and how it effects women not only across the United States, but the world as well. I am choosing this topic because many still believe it is a "made up" or "untrue" concept, while in fact there is true evidence from many multiple sources, that have found women face an average price difference of 13% for personal care products among the 122 products compared in the study. My second topic I will be researching is if standardized tests such as the SAT and ACT are effective units of measurement regarding students growth and development. I found an interest in this because personally, along with many of my fellow classmates, have discussed the annoyances of not being good test-takers, and how this could greatly effect our futures in getting accepted into colleges, even though we have had good grades our whole school careers. I found it interesting that there were many study's conducted based on the development of these tests and how many of them are not even reliable or effective measurements any more.
