hw 53

the survey was very interesting. even though i did not take it due to the fact that i was absent, i thoughtthat the survey results and questions were very interesting. the question that i thought was interesting was the question, " are you afraid of death?" this question was interesting to me. about almost 40 percent of people said yes. about 30 percent said no. i thought this was interesting. these differences and answers can be analyzed for multiple things. Such as, the people who are afraid, why are they scared? is it because they havent been around death as much, or is it because they dont think about it so when they think about it, they become scared. or even that they feel that they are too young to die. this is the exact opposite of what the people who answered no may feel like. Maybe they have been around death too much, or maybe they feel that they have seen all that life has to offer so now it i time to move on. whatever the case may be, my answer to this question will be that i have no answer. i feel that i cannot answer this question. I feel that i have not experienced a life that i can be happy with, so that i why i would be afraid of death. On the other hand, death is a part of our existence, everything has to die, so why be scared when it is bound to happen. Also i feel that death shouldnt be scary because life is scarier. i cant answer this question until i have grown up and lived a better life. so i think for the people who can answer this question, they are one step ahead of me. for the people who are afraid, i think they need to sit and think about their life and then once they do that, i feel that they will become wiser in the way they live which will lessen their fears of death. for the people who answered no. They are sort of more mature and i feel like they have actually thought about death and i feel that they will be the ones to live more freely because the biggest threat to people is death, but if youre not afraid of it, then you dont have to live scared. But for now, ill just stay in between.

i think that a similarity to these serveys are that the one that we creathed had results of a large group. there were 2 basic options, but ours werent strictly yes and no. we had yes but, no but, answers to pick from. a difference is that ours did not distinguish the men from women. Our survey had a calculation of a total that was not based on gender. These surveys both asked very touchy wuestions that had people think for a while, which is what makes a survey a good survey i think. The results were also both surpriseing to me and probably other readers as well.
