Stonewall Rebellion Graded portion:
Write a clear, relevant, and focused research question about your finalized topic. How did the Stonewall Rebellion in 1969 contribute to the development of the LGBTQ+ rights movement in the United States, and what impact did it have on subsequent social and political changes?
Explain how another person’s beliefs, assumptions, and values may lead that person to create a different question than you.
The research question is centered around discerning the historical significance of the Stonewall Rebellion and its influence on the LGBTQ+ rights movement, specifically in the United States. It seeks to explore the broader impacts of the event and its hand in shaping social and political changes.
Another person's beliefs and values could lead them to create a different research question. For example, someone with a more conservative belief system might frame their question differently, emphasizing the perceived negative aspects or societal disruptions caused by the
Stonewall Rebellion. Their question might be more critical of the event and could focus on potential adverse effects on traditional values or social stability.
