Survey

In this survey I was kind of unclear about what my topic was and what i wanted it to be. Therefore the wrong questions were asked. I will still give the information that I collected, but keep in mind that this information is closely related to my topic but it's not 100 percent. Now that you know that, here is what the survey looked like. The 3 questions that i asked where: Do you think the U.S. needs to do more at the border to appease this war on drugs? Do you think Mexico needs to do more at the border? Do you think this war at the the U.S.-Mexico border taints America? The answers that I expected were yes for every question. This is because that is what I believe needs to happen and I was pretty sure everyone did too. This survey was also given to five males and five females, a total of ten students.

For the most part my prediction was correct. About 80 percent of the students that answered the survey agreed with me. They thought that the U.S. needs to be doing more at the border to stop this war. 8 out of 10 students said answered yes to the first question 5 of them being girls. 2 of the boys said no, and one of them even left a footnote saying that he thought that the U.S. did not need to spend anymore money. All 10 answered yes to the second question which was surprising. The same male also left another note saying that he thought it was Mexico's problem that they needed to put in the most work. Then finally the third question, this one was the same as the first 8 out of 10. Except that it was 4 girls and 4 guys that said yes. With a female this time that left a note saying she thought that that's the reason the drug-gang violence is so high in the U.S. I think the numbers came out the way they did is because most of the students knows how the crisis in Mexico is going. For example all the murders of innocent people caused by this drug war at the border. The thing that might of also influenced people to answer the way they did was because almost half of the students still have family in Mexico which they still talk to. Therefore they are very well informed on the subject. These numbers came out the way I predicted.

Like mentioned in my introduction this is no longer my research topic, it's extremely close, but not totally. So, even though this information was very interesting it really doesn't help me on what to research in later blogs.
