so this week i tried to think of all the survey questions i could ask people about what they think about discrimination against black Americans  From this i have came to the conclusion that i has to be nutso for thinking anyone would answer honestly if they have discriminated. so i thought of a new project and i am going to people watch. i am going to go to different stores and see up close and personal how workers treat black and white customers differently. i will try to see different age groups and go to different places. my mom said she would bring me into her work also to see how people are treated differently in the hospital.

surveys

i think that i am going to do a number of surveys to different groups of people. i am going to give them to 3 different age groups. one to a child, one to a middle aged person, and one to an elderly person. in the survey i am going to ask if they have ever experienced racism against black Americans  if they have ever been racist or if they have seen it. and if they have seen it. i am curious to find out if racism has changed at all over the generations. 

My research method

My topic is racism against black Americans. I am very interested in finding out how much people actually know about current racism or if people have experienced it. That is why i am going to do a survey. I want to find out if other people are interested in this topic, and if people believe something needs to be done about racism. i also wanted to do the naturalistic observation method, but i feel like in the area we live in i will not learn much. i feel like people are more secretive and polite about their thoughts on other races.
