Although we change the topic, we still encounter some problems at first. Confusion of which sphere of research should we discuss ‘cause this topic could lead to various areas and aspects. Through lots of discussion and changing mind, we finally decided to direct to the economy aspect. Finding out interrelated data and materials in economic aspect about showgirl is kind of difficult at some degrees. Most of the resources are about showgirls themselves and critiques of morality as well as female objectification. We even ran into the bottleneck again that we were not able to do deeper. After the discussion with professor, we then find out the relationship among showgirls, female objectification, female commodification and commercial benefit. There are various researches and essays about these subjects yet we have to digest the information we need from a mass of essays.

Robert and Knot, this team impresses me and attracts me at the beginning. Because at first I did not have any interest in their topic, subject about economy or policy always decrease my interest. They are usually boring and difficult. However, when I took a glance at their annotation, it stirs my interest successfully. Their descriptions and skills of narration allow this originally boring and difficult issue to be easy to understand as well as interesting. And I think their directions of points are rather special rather than those cliché of economic issues. Doing research on same realm as them, I think we still have space to learn from them.
