8:33 pm	This is a survey that I have created to study the opinions of adults/young adults on certain topics. The results will be completely anonymous and will be used for a final project in one of my college courses. Please answer the questions honestly and for any multiple choice select as many as are applicable to you. If you do not understand a term in any of the questions, please state that and continue to answer with your best guess of the meaning. PARTICIPATION IN THIS SURVEY IS COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY. If you do not feel comfortable answering the questions there is no pressure to do so. Only responses submitted on or before May 5th will be included, so please respond ASAP. IP addresses are not logged, please respond under "anonymous". To reply, please click the "comment on this" link at the bottom right of the survey. Then please copy/paste the body of the survey into the comment section and fill it out. All replies will be deleted as soon as I copy the answers. PS. If you get an error message saying that you’ve got to cut back on characters just delete some of the questions that were not applicable. Or just delete all but the main idea of the question, rather than shortening the answer. If that’s still not enough space just send it in labeled parts (ex. Part 1, Part 2, etc). Do not send me individual emails as that will negate the anonymous nature. PPS. Many people have commented that distinct races do not actually exist, they are merely a socially contructed idea. I completely agree, nevertheless, since distinct groups of people are discriminated against because of this socially constructed idea of race, I will ask that you momentarily suspend the knowledge that race doesn't actually exist. Same goes for genders. Again, thank you so much for helping me out! I really appreciate all the support. If there you have any questions concerning how the results will be used feel free to post those as well. (Comment on this)
