Survey

My survey has been very difficult to come up with because I wasn't sure how to do it without asking people to judge one-another in harmful way. I really wanted to look at how people view themselves versus how they are viewed by others but I really think that this almost impossible to do without being extremely negatively judgmental and offending people. Because I am unable to survey people about what I originally wanted to I am instead trying to look at how people in our school choose to create their images. How much thought do they put into it? What do they consider when they buy clothes? When they get dressed in the morning? How important is the "cool" factor versus the "unique" factor. I am choosing this subject for my survey because I think that peoples answers will differ between individuals but not necessarily between different groups of people. I think that people who wear "trendy" clothes are just as concerned about being unique as those who choose a more "gothic" style. Even when someone is trying to wear the "cool" clothes I believe that they still want to put their own unique spin on it and make it their own... but that is hopefully what this survey is going to find out!
