The purpose of a profile paper is to provide you with the opportunity to not only learn more about a topic, but to get an “inside perspective” which in turn gives you insight into a specific issue or place in time. This could include the job they have chosen, how they were raised or are raising their family, a unique experience in life they have had, or an organization they are involved in. The life of this person will, in turn, suggest a gender related issue that you will explore through research. You will then share what you have learned about not only the individual you have interviewed, but the larger issue which he or she represents. The objectives of the Profile Paper are to:
- Learn about an individual’s experiences and/or perspective (Interview) and present them in the paper
- Place the individual’s experiences and/or perspective within a larger issue involving gender roles in society and identify that issue in the paper
- Use the individual’s experiences and/or perspective to make an argument about that issue
- Obtain additional information about that gender issue (Research) and use the information obtained to support the argument
This paper will need to include the following:
- An introduction, a hook to grab your reader’s attention. It should also introduce your person and why he or she is noteworthy. It should be clear from your introduction what gender issue you wish to explore in your paper.
- Your thesis statement.
- An interview as part of this assignment (see the assignment for due date). The interview should be written up in traditional interview style, Q and A. However, your final paper will not use this style but should interweave quotes from your interviewee with outside information and your own ideas about the charity or persons at the charity.
- A conclusion that sums up the major ideas in your paper. You might consider revisiting the introduction to help you wrap things up.
- At least three pictures, illustrations, graphics, etc. You may have any combination of these items, as long as you have three items.
- Three outside sources that provide reliable information about your gender issue, referenced and cited in your paper.
Your paper should be 6 to 7 pages, double spaced, 12 point font, Times New Roman. Follow APA format for heading, running head, page number, in-text citation of sources and References page.
Another article you can incorporate in the paper iscom/2016/08/23/africa/asnath-mahapa-pilot-south-africa/”>http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/23/africa/asnath-mahapa…

RECORD: 1
When it comes to stories of espionage and intrigue, Hollywood rarely casts a sister in the starring role. But in real life one Black woman has accomplished what once seemed like mission impossible: Last October Major Merryl David, 34, became the first Black female pilot of a U-2–the legendary stealth planes the U.S. Air Force deploys for risky reconnaissance missions, such as identifying terrorist activities in foreign countries. David, a former naval officer, is one of only five women and three African-Americans to be accepted into the Air Force’s elite First Squadron, where U-2 pilots get their training. Now she’ll have to withstand the pressure–literally. Solo flights can exceed 70,000 feet and last nine hours, and U-2s, with their tremendous wingspan, are one of the toughest crafts to land. But David has had her sights set high since childhood. Growing up in The Bronx, New York, the Star Trek fan dreamed of being an astronaut. Since then she has boasted an impressive flying career, operating combat helicopters and airplanes for the Navy in the Middle East and South America. In July she’ll leave her Lincoln, California, home and be deployed as part of the Ninety-Ninth Squadron to Korea. “You don’t see many Black females flying in any service,” she says. “I hope this will show young girls that this is an option they can have.”
