Hypothesis

 Body modifications are tattoos pricings and transformation of the body. Should people be judged on these physical changes? No when has a tattoo or pricing ever stopped someone from performing a task at hand. People will be outraged when they hear that an employer has fired an employee for having body modifications.

Follow up

In my second research memo I plan identifying the laws that are established or bills that are trying to get passed to protect American citizens with body modifications. I also want to look into news papers to see if there are any stories about people getting fired because of having visible body modifications. From the news papers I plan on seeing if there is a bias from the female body to the male body.

Data analysis

When looking at the data above its clear that the male and female body both have different views on body modifications. From one of the research questions "should there be a law protecting the people with body modifications from being fired or not hired based on having body modifications." From this question I noticed that the men said no there shouldn't be a law protecting the people with body modifications, but the women said that there should be a law protecting the people with body modifications. I then looked back at the different questions, and it amazed me how the male and the female gender voted complete different for each answer that involved protecting the people with body modifications. This amazed me that the male and female gender has such different views on the subject. But when asked if they had every had a body modification 90% of girls said that they have had a body modification at one point in their life. The male statics was way less only showing that 25% said that they have ever had a body modification.

My context

 My target audience was the younger generation. The reasoning being that in the newer generations it seems that the people tend to express their feelings through body modifications. From that I based my age groups from 18 to 40. These age groups include the less formal generations. This meaning that workers no longer were suits to work, but more relaxed clothing. This is not the newer generation’s problem for dressing or expressing themselves the way they were rais

Story behind my topic

As a teenager, body modifications have always caught my eye. This would include tattoos and piercings any type of transformation of the body. Body modifications are a way of expressing your feelings or thoughts. Over the years people have started to judge human beings based on this form of expression. My friends and family have been through this situation. Were they explained it not only hurt them finically, but the fact that someone would judge another based on their looks. People say this type of discrimination will never end, and that people will always be prejudice. I say that we the people should not tolerate what others think that we are humans, and that we will be treated like human beings.
