Survey

For my topic it was a little challenging with coming up with questions that would invoke a yes or no answer the five questions that i came up with were 1. Do you believe in what the Counterculture stood for? 2. Do you know what the counterculture was? 3. Is there still a form of the Counterculture? 4. Was the Counterculture only in the United States? 5. Would you have joined the revolt against if you lived during that time? I asked this questions to see if anyone really understood the Counterculture and understood why people acted the way that they did. I thought that i would encounter many students that didn't have a clue as to what the Counterculture was. 
For question 1. 8 out of 10 students said yes 6 of those students where girls 
For question 2. 4 out of 10 students said yes the others said kinda. 
For question 3. 9 out of 10 students said yes 6 of them were boys. 
For question 4. 10 out of 10 students said yes to this question. 
For question 5. 9 out of 10 students said yes only one girl said that she wouldn't join it.

It didn't really surprise me when most of the students said that they didn't really know what the counterculture was. I think many of the students said that they would join the revolt against war and believe in what the Counterculture stands for has a lot to do with the war that we are currently in. One girl that said that she wouldn't join in the counterculture because she thinks that it is amoral to do drugs, have sex freely and openly and to go against the government. 
After finding these results I want to start researching more about the revolts against the war and where and how they would set them up and what the government did to try to prevent this from happening.

Flow of the information worked well-- it was clear how things related. Survey was interesting-- obviously some of the results might have been impacted by the lack of real knowledge of the movement. I like your plans for further research.
