Final Statement

I have officially finalized my research on surveying kids on the topic of  homosexuality. I have yet to write up my final survey questions but, they will be written up tomorrow and reviewed by Mrs. Wren on Monday. I plan to being my research on Wednesday, December 4th  I am going to create a google doc on monday with my questions and send it out on Wednesday through a Facebook inbox. As I said before, there will be 52 people in total. 26 boys and 26 girls. 13 of the boys will be from Catholic high school and 13 will be from a Public high school. Same goes for the girls. 13 from a Catholic high school and 13 from a public high school. On Friday, December 6th  I will report back with the results I have received so far. I cannot wait to see how my results turn out! My guess is that the ones who go to public school will be more comfortable and okay with the idea that they are in class with a homosexual where in Catholic school, maybe we are a little more uncomfortable because of our beliefs and morals that we are taught. I can't wait to report back!

Surveying Homosexuality with Highschool Students

So  I have come to the conclusion on what I am going to do for my research about Homosexuality. I am going to interview 52 people in total. 26 boys and 26 girls. 13 of the boys will be from a Catholic high school and 13 will be from a Public high school. Same for girls. 13 girls from a Catholic high school and 13 from a Public high school. I am going to ask them how they feel about homosexuality and if they would feel comfortable if there was a homosexual in their classes. I plan on asking the kids if they feel more comfortable with a homosexual male or female in the classroom and I will also give them the option to say it doesn't matter at all or both matters. I am going to use a google doc and send it through facebook, so it can be completed anonymously and truthfully. I am doing this survey because I want to see how much times has changed in this generation and how people react to the generations new found acceptance of same sex relationships. It was only in the 1920s when people started to accept this. I am going to get my answers by what the majority says. I am very interested to find out how people really feel about this topic. Especially when they know they can tell how they really feel without anyone knowing it was them who said it. 

Surveying Homosexuality

During the second semester, I chose to do a written survey on people's opinions on Homosexuality. I am deciding between two different surveys. I am thinking about surveying 50 kids, 25 that go to public school and 25 that go to catholic school on how they feel about homosexuals in their school. Whether it is their teacher or a classmate, and ask their opinion on if homosexuals should be separated from straight people, just like my blog post regarding the gay-friendly high school. I am also curious to see how they feel if they are on a team with someone who they think is gay or is gay. Do they treat them the same? or maybe a little differently? Another idea that I have deals with adults opinions. It has only been recent where gay couples are openly shown in the media and in a way, more accepted. Doing a survey between two different generations of adults will show me how the older generations feels about this topic when they grew up with such strong beliefs of going along with the social norm, and the newer generation who has been exposed to same sex relationships as being a normal and accepted. I will ask them how they feel about the boy scout situation and if they feel its appropriate that gay people should not be allowed to volunteer or lead a boy scout group. I will ask about their co workers and if any of them are gay, if so, are they treated differently? and Lastly, I would ask if they have or have ever seen a homosexual hold a high up position in a job whether it is CEO or manager or boss and if they can accept and work with people who hold such a different belief. I think that with either survey I do, I will get very interesting results which will further my research in this topic. I think that since I am interviewing two totally different people in all aspects I will find out many different beliefs that people have on all different aspects of homosexuality.I think that being I am a student, I will most likely survey other students and their opinions because I can relate and use questions that are on the same level as myself.  I am very eager to find out the results.
