Survey & Essay 4 Update !


As of now 14 people has answered my survey. I realized that my last question wasn't set for an answer to be required. Therefore, someone skipped it. This is an issue I will have to put in my paper in the “short comings and improvement" section. So far the results my survey has yielded doesn't surprise me much. About 50% of my survey participants have no idea what factory farming is and the other half knows the overall gist of it. I have an approach planned that will help me tackle this essay I believe. I just have to be sure to work my theory into it well.

11/12/12's hybrid assignment

-->
So far, the initial results of my survey show that approximately fifty percent of college age students’ have no clue what factory farming is. A great number of the people who doesn't know what factory farming is have never lived nor worked on a traditional farm. However, there are some who have lived on a farm all their life and had no idea there was a harsh farming method of this sort. I personally find that to be weird. Also, everyone that has taken the survey thus far are not aware of how the food is raised for the restaurants they eat at. At this point I plan to continue collecting data via my survey to discover people views on factory farming and use a sociological theory called critical theory to uncover assumptions in regard to factory farming and change society as a whole.
