So, What Do You Think?

I printed 10 of my surveys and I gave some to a few of the kids that I talk to but I got the urge to print a few more and hand them to people outside of the school atmosphere. Safe to say there was mix results in my short three question survey, if you can even call it that. Whether they were affected because I handed them the surveys in school or because they didn't really know what I was blabbering about it was different from the rest. My survey focused mostly on the impact of the music in general rather than what genre it was primarily from. It was three questions and they were pretty simple and to the point of what information I was attempting to obtain from the people that took the survey.

The main question I was focused on was one were I asked "Do you believe that Music really is a major problem?" and surprsingly a large percentage of the people asked answered no. Why was it a big surprise well because it seems that even if the people asked were few in quantity, it seems that what I have been thinking and saying in this blog since I started is viewed genuinely also by other people. Putting everything else aside it isn't hard to make up your own mind on a big topic like this when you actually look into it. There was different opinions in other questions for example one where the question asked was "Are people really so weak minded that we let things like music persuade our minds and inner conscious" I would say about 70% said that Yeah we are so easily influenced by music and also things like the mianstream media like movies and television while the other 30% claimed that we are influenced but when the media is applied to the context in which the person affected is currently in. That information you can take what you want from it while I have my opinion that it does affect us to some short extent but that's about as far as it goes the rest it just us. Seeing and reading outside opinions really adds a new dimension to the topic which I hadn't seen and read until someone else implied and shed light on their opinions and thoughts about this topic.

Nice post... I must agree I don’t believe that music has a very big impact on people and their personal lives. Most people have or obtain enough common sense to take in information that is only reasonable. Great Job!!! :)
