Chapter 13 concept

Hi class,

A concept I found interesting was the survey research. Survey research is defined as "an investigator chooses a sample of people to question, decides what to ask and how to ask it, either in written or oral form". I found this concept to be interesting because I have done surveys multiple times as an assignment. I actually enjoy doing surveys because you get the privilege to hear a variety of opinions on the topic at hand. The first survey I was assigned to do was in 8th grade about which sport out of football, soccer, and baseball did the people in my age group prefer to be most interesting. I asked the ladies for their view point, but it was unsuccessful. The reason was because the majority of them did not care for sports or did not watch them. As a result of the survey, I noticed football was the most interesting, along came soccer, and finally baseball. Many guys had their own reason why they chose the sport they thought was most interesting, but I felt like the decisions were based off ethnicity. For example, the majority of the black males selected football to be more interesting, hispanics chose soccer; and an even mix of hispanics, cacasions, and blacks chose baseball to be more interesting. As an ending result, I was able to conclude with a variety of different perspectives. Everybody has their own opinions and surveys help obtain a well-rounded general idea overall.
