creating a problem statement with a thesis in preparation for your Week 5 Literature Review. As a reminder:

• A problem statement is a concise, clear explanation of a topic/issue to be researched.
• A thesis statement is one sentence that states the main idea of a research paper.

Your problem statement must describe your selected capstone topic/issue, reflect on its significance to gender and sexuality, and culminate with a thesis statement that will provide the framework for your Week 5 Literature Review. Your thesis statement must be specific and cover exactly what you plan to discuss in your Week 5 Literature Review.

Length: 1 page

References: Include a minimum of 3 scholarly resources.

This week, you are also required to create an annotated outline.

Specifically, your task this week is to write an annotated outline that builds from your problem statement and thesis statement. Your outline must include the topic and main themes you plan to discuss in your Week 5 Literature Review Paper. Remember to review the elements required in your Week 5 paper (e.g., introduction with thesis; description of topic/issue; thematic, synthesis of research; description of solutions/best practices; conclusion) and include these elements in your outline. 

My Capstone question/issue is : Is it an anti-feminist (US) standard, that women change their surname (and prefixes: Miss/Ms to Mrs) after marriage?
