Social Groups:

1. Nowadays youths are catergorized into different groups such as emos, Goths, chavs and geeks. Are there any more which you could name?

Gangsters grubbies and stoners

2. Do you think you fall into any of these categories and why?

I'd be a stoner

3. How do you feel about any of these categories? Who do you and don’t get on well with and why?

Grubbies stink and Emo people should try and be a bit more cheery..

But no I really have no problem with any of them. I'll be friends no matter what group they fall under.

4. Do you feel everyone should learn about different groups rather than have a divide?

Learning is always good

5. Do you think there is a difference between girls and boys?

Girls and guys are completely different in how they think reason and communicate also girls are usually smaller then guys.

6. Recently and girl was murdered because she was dressed as a Goth, do you think that is acceptable, would you say people should be more civilized these days?

I think killing people is wrong.

7. What do you think will happen in the future?

Hmmm probably another world war.

Homosexuals:

1. Homosexuals are being accepted more than in the past, do you agree with this?

Whatever makes them happy I really don't care what they do on their free time.

2. How does it feel to be homosexual in the society today?

I'm not a homosexual... but if I was my life wouldn't be the easiest out there.

3. Do you think religion acts as a boundary to those who keep their homosexuality a secret?

For sure... religion is the root of all evil

4. The word “gay” is used as an abuse; do you think it should be used less freely?

It really doesn't bother me

Race

1. Could you tell me which country you originate from?

Canada

2. Do you support any religious beliefs?

I believe there's a God who gives less than a damn about all of us.

3. Do you feel your religion clashes with your social life living in England? Have you or are you tempted to break the rules?

I grew up in a conservative christian home and when I was a christian I was a christian and when I decided to give up the faith I haven't ever thought of turning back. There was never any middle grown for me it was either all or nothing.

4. In the town that you live in, how multicultural is it?

Very

5. Do you think it gets easier as you get older and why? Would you say younger people are more closed minded?

When you're in highschool life is a breeze... you hit working or going to college the first 10 years are going to be rough (unless you're a spoiled and your parents give you everything) and then after the 10 years life mellows out a bit as you get settled.

And I wouldn't say young people are closed minded.

6. Are most of your friends from an english background and why?

Most of my friends are native

7. Would you like more of your friends to be from other ethinic groups?

I like things the way they are.

8. Have you experienced or witnessed any racial abuse in the past? Would you like to give any details? Which racist words hurt you the most?

I got shunned for growing up in the white community all through highschool.. I still get bugged for being from "Port". Being called white never really bothered me but my boyfriend was called "white boy" all his life and it bothers him.

9. How do you feel about people who have?

Been there.. it sucks

10. The French president has been known to be racist (he called muslims and immigrant youths scum – which is racist in france) do you think it is bad for people with status to be racist and influence civilians?

It IS bad to be racist and in power.... have you ever heard of this guy named Hitler? And I'll go with Bushsupport for the other half.

11. After the 9/11 and terrorist attacks would you say racism has become a lot worse?

Noppers

12. Are there not enough supermarkets in your town providing foods from your country?

Hahahha OMG.. good question... we often run out food here if the freight doesn't come in and food from other countries are a bit expensive to have shipped here... we do pretty well concidering though. But still... no.


J'irai bien.

Social Groups:

1. Nowadays youths are catergorized into different groups such as emos, Goths, chavs and geeks. Are there any more which you could name?

Jocks, drama nerds, band geeks, everyone else

2. Do you think you fall into any of these categories and why?

Well, I was in band, so I guess you could call me a band geek. But other than that, I don't fall into a single group.

3. How do you feel about any of these categories? Who do you and don’t get on well with and why?

I think it's silly to divide into cliques. I get along with anyone who wants to get along with me.

4. Do you feel everyone should learn about different groups rather than have a divide?

Certainly.

5. Do you think there is a difference between girls and boys?

Well, of course. Physically and mentally. Socially, however, there doesn't need to be a difference.

6. Recently and girl was murdered because she was dressed as a Goth, do you think that is acceptable, would you say people should be more civilized these days?

That's about the stupidest thing I've ever heard. People shouldn't kill over something that trivial.

7. What do you think will happen in the future?

Probably the same stuff that goes on now.

Homosexuals:

1. Homosexuals are being accepted more than in the past, do you agree with this?

Certainly. People shouldn't be shunned because of their lifestyle choices.

2. How does it feel to be homosexual in the society today?

I couldn't say. I'm not gay and my gay friends don't really talk about that sort of thing.

3. Do you think religion acts as a boundary to those who keep their homosexuality a secret?

Definitely. Many religions frown upon homosexuality.

4. The word “gay” is used as an abuse; do you think it should be used less freely?

It's just a word. I don't even think gay people find it offensive.

Race

1. Could you tell me which country you originate from?

United States

2. Do you support any religious beliefs?

No, not really.

3. Do you feel your religion clashes with your social life living in England? Have you or are you tempted to break the rules?

If I did live in England, I don't think my lack of religion would be a problem, since England is hardly a bastion of religious belief.

4. In the town that you live in, how multicultural is it?

Not very much at all. Quite a lot of migrant workers from Mexico, but mostly white European-Americans.

5. Do you think it gets easier as you get older and why? Would you say younger people are more closed minded?

Easier...for what? It seems to me that people tend to hold into the beliefs they had when they were younger. To that end, I think youth are slightly more open-minded, but to a fault sometimes.

6. Are most of your friends from an english background and why?

Well, an American background. We're all of the same ethnic background.

7. Would you like more of your friends to be from other ethinic groups?

I'm good. I'm not going to force diversity.

8. Have you experienced or witnessed any racial abuse in the past? Would you like to give any details? Which racist words hurt you the most?

Nope, no abuse at all.

9. How do you feel about people who have?

Annoyed that there are still people out there who discriminate based on race.

10. The French president has been known to be racist (he called muslims and immigrant youths scum – which is racist in france) do you think it is bad for people with status to be racist and influence civilians?

People choose who influence them. If an important person wants to make a fool out of himself, that's his problem.

11. After the 9/11 and terrorist attacks would you say racism has become a lot worse?

Definitely towards Arabs. You can't kneel for prayer in an airport without causing mass panic.

12. Are there not enough supermarkets in your town providing foods from your country?

Plenty of markets and other places, but that's only good for people who can afford food.


The more you know, the less you don't know.

Idiots, morons, stupids.

2. Do you think you fall into any of these categories and why?

NO

3. How do you feel about any of these categories? Who do you and don’t get on well with and why?

I get along fine with them

4. Do you feel everyone should learn about different groups rather than have a divide?

Sure

5. Do you think there is a difference between girls and boys?

Of course, only morons wouldn't.

6. Recently and girl was murdered because she was dressed as a Goth, do you think that is acceptable, would you say people should be more civilized these days?

Who would say it is ever acceptable to murder someone. Silly question.

7. What do you think will happen in the future?

My crystal ball is in the shop, sorry.

Homosexuals:

1. Homosexuals are being accepted more than in the past, do you agree with this?

No, they should be tolerated not accepted.

I am not, and I would appreciate it if you did not call me a gay.

3. Do you think religion acts as a boundary to those who keep their homosexuality a secret?

Probably.

4. The word “gay” is used as an abuse; do you think it should be used less freely?

No, calm down and get over it if you are offended. I am offended by the thought of two men having sex and I have to get over it.

Race

1. Could you tell me which country you originate from?

The United States of America.

2. Do you support any religious beliefs?

I am a protestant Christian.

3. Do you feel your religion clashes with your social life living in England? Have you or are you tempted to break the rules?

Don't live in England, and I think this is a biased question.

4. In the town that you live in, how multicultural is it?

Lots of Mexicans.

5. Do you think it gets easier as you get older and why? Would you say younger people are more closed minded?

Yes they are, although they claim not to be. I also think that liberals are more closed minded.

6. Are most of your friends from an english background and why?

No, all Americans.

7. Would you like more of your friends to be from other ethinic groups?

Pretty sad if you wished your friends were a different race.

8. Have you experienced or witnessed any racial abuse in the past? Would you like to give any details? Which racist words hurt you the most?

I was called a honky once. I was offended and cried for days.

9. How do you feel about people who have?

Racial abuse is always wrong.

10. The French president has been known to be racist (he called muslims and immigrant youths scum – which is racist in france) do you think it is bad for people with status to be racist and influence civilians?

A terribly biased question, and he is not known to be racist. He called the protesting ones without jobs scum because they are.

11. After the 9/11 and terrorist attacks would you say racism has become a lot worse?

NO

12. Are there not enough supermarkets in your town providing foods from your country?

I live in America, there are plenty of supermarkets. No one starves in our country.
