Is it cheesy/corny/immature to ask a hypothetical question in a College-like essay?

I’m writing a research paper for my History class. It’s not a college paper, since I’m still in high school, but my teacher wants us to write like college students. My paper is about the Equal Rights Amendment vs. Women’s Rights and my question is, “Is the Era really protecting Women’s Rights, or will it take away more rights than it promises?” Is it cheesy/unacceptable to insert that question at the end of my introduction paragraph?
