China vs. Tibet Survey

The China vs. Tibet survey, that was handed out to ten people, is very simple and methodical. It is a quick three question survey. The three questions that were asked, were: Do you think that Tibet should be an independent country? Is Tibet doing the right thing by protesting? Will Tibet ever gain their independence? As you can see, the survey is a simple way to see what side people are on. Before giving the survey, my hypothesis was that the majority of the surveyors will be on Tibet’s side. This is because, people are generally engrossed by the underdog, and a lot of people have heard Tibet’s side of the story and not China’s.
After taking the survey, I was not surprised to see that nine out of ten people circled yes to every question. This means that they are all pro Tibet. Because of this, the surveyors must have seen, read, or heard of something about Tibet. I think that there is way more information that is pro Tibet, than pro China. Because everyone always hears Tibet’s side of the story, my next blog will be all about China, and why they want to control Tibet so bad. This will hopefully educate people on both sides of the story, and possibly change the minds of some of the surveyors.

Great plan of action for next blog and good use of vocab. FYI-- the "surveyor" would be you. A surveyor does the surveying. You might just refer to the survey takers as "participants." Why do you think it is so common to only hear Tibet's side of the story? Is China hiding something? Or, is our media biased towards Tibet? Or, are they just morally on the "higher ground"?
