Revisions and Planning for Essay 4

1. Between last thuursday and today I returned to my paper to edit my mistakes and also made small revisions.  I changed a lot of the wording to make the paper flow better.  The strongest part of my essay is the introduction.   I thik it gives a good amount of history and insight into why this is a problem. The introduction gave a good background on the subject and I think gave me a lot to build upon.  I'm worried about some of my viewpoints.  I was struggling to come up with one of the opinions and I'm not sure if it is writen effecively. I also dont think it really fits with the rest of my paper.
2. The Courts, the government, doctors, and women were the four perspectives I chose. The courts are opposed to long maternity leaves because it in a voluntary decision which they believe do not qualify for disability.  The government is pro maternity leave because they are striving for fairness between the genders so that our society can opperate on equal levels.  Doctors are also pro longer maternity leaves because they are primarily concerned with the physical and mental health of the mother and child.  And most suprising is that some women, normally low income women, are opposed to mandatory maternity leave for fear that they will loose their job or be discriminated against at their jobs once they finally do return.  I am planning to write a proposal paper to end the debates over maternity leave I want to propose a solution that will give women the option of more time off but also to give them a partially paid leave. Also I will sujest that legislation be passed that assure women that upon return to the work they will reenter their jobs at the same level that they left at.  To create this proposal I think that a majority of my resaerch will be useable, but I will need to look for more articles that describe maternity leaves in other nations to use as examples, and more articles that give the opinion of working women on the issue.  Also while writning the exploratory paper I use a lot of the sources about how the government feels about the issue, I think I will instead I use the sources about doctors and women perspectives most.
