After viewing the required resources for this discussion, please address each of the following questions:In your informed opinion, was Title IX a logical policy response to the problem of gender inequality?Did Title IX accomplish the intended goals for all women?Did Title IX impact your life in any way?What differences do you think there are between the way girls and young women view sports today compared to 40 years ago? In effect, has participation in sports changed women and their role in society?Other than Title IX, have other social changes have contributed to changes in perception? Please provide examples. Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.

Credible sources (experts in the field; well-known theorists; sources which use primary and secondary sources to support claims). Relevant research (materials are pertinent to the area of study). In graduate work, the use of peer-reviewed journal articles (journal articles reviewed by recognized experts in the relevant field of study) is required.

You must use a minimum of three scholarly sources (at least one of which must be found in the Ashford University Library) other than the textbook to support your claims and subclaims.

Discuss the individual and social implications of this problem. Your discussion of implications should be supported by accurate research data. Summarize what social science experts have to say about this social problem. Are their conclusions methodologically sound? Explain what we, as a society, have done about this problem, considering public policies and other less formal responses. Explain how well societal efforts to solve the social problem are working. Describe an alternative. Discuss why the alternative is, or can be, an effective response to the problem. Remember to consider negative consequences of the alternative response. Conclude with reflections and thoughts about your chosen social problem.
