Survey

In my survey I asked six basic questions. The first questions I asked was their gender an grade level. Then I asked if they thought illegal immigrants are bad, if they knew anybody illegal, if they knew what the immigration reform act was, and if they thought it would work.

I gave out my survey to ten people, out of the ten people 6 were females and 4 were males. Out of those ten people three were freshman, two were sophomores, three were juniors, and two were seniors. Out of the ten people nobody thought illegal immigrants were bad people and they all knew someone that was illegal. Out of the ten people one 9th grade female knew what the immigration reform act was and she did not think it would work.

What surprised me the most was that only one person knew what the immigration reform act was and that she was a freshman. I expected the juniors and seniors to know what it was. The answers to the first two questions did not surprise me at all. In this survey I hope that nobody answered these question just to appease the Hispanic population in the school. I hope that these answers were truly their arbitrary opinion.

In the next few blog I will be posting some statistics and some opinions about illegal immigration.

Good use of appease, but I think you would mean to say "I hope these are NOT arbitrary opinions." Something that is arbitrary has no reasons behind it, it is just how the person feels at that moment for no particular reason.

I thought you chose very interesting questions that would make people think. It is surprising about so few people being informed on the topic. I hope your blog might help some people to be a bit more up to date.
