So this paper...
This is the first time I do a research project like this. It's harder than I thought it was going to be, I know it has to be perfect. Although I don't want it to be perfect because than it would just be... perfect. Who wants that? I am now ready to interview people and finally found some good enough sources to get my project going. Thou, I have to admit that I am falling behind but thats ok because I run pretty fast so ill be able to catch up. I have to find more sources that will be on the side of music and send out interviews to more people. I also have to put my final touches on the survey. Looks like I have to much on my plate and my blog has just fallen off. Good day.

Avoiding Questions
The double question:
Do you shop at Publix or do you wear Jordans?
The wrong choice question:
What is the best show, Family Guy or The Simpsons?
The 'fuzzy word' question:
Do you think our new president is straight?
The cover the world question:
What do you think of indigenous people?
Jargon questions:
Due to the debates going on in our school board system, how do you think trimming the fat will help the current teachers?

What a research...
So, what have I gotten myself into? To those curious one's who want to know about my progress... here it is, I am having a very difficult time finding sources for my project in terms of internet resources. The reason being is because their is lack of studies done on the exact research topic that I am doing. So to go around this I have to start my own study aand research to come up with my own conclusions. I have to find articles relating to psychology and articles about music. So I am one of the lucky few who have decided to research this topic. But I am excited to embark this journey into the unknown to discover something that has not been touched much. I'm excited...

A Great Background #6
I have interviewed #6 who is very passionate and proud of the background that was implemented on her. I say implemented because she has not gone to where her parents where born, Cuba. #6 explained how alive and happy her Cuban culture really is. She talks about the family gatherings and the many invitations she had growing up to dance. Dance is also something that was very common growing up. But back to Cuba, #6 was asked how she invisioned Cuba? She mentions that she knows that "everyone will be friendly, everyone will know each other in the neighborhood and how she found it weird that here in the States we don’t really know our neighbors". She pictures everyone helping each other and the splended beaches Cuba has to offer.
#6 is very close to the customes of her parents and grandma who taught and implementes everything she know.I found it interesting that even she was brought up in a way strict she still is able to go her own ways. Yet the decisions are still ethical and understanding. She was not a rebel when her mom implemented some boy rules but she let her opinion be heard. She was brought up well and was given the tools needed to survive in the world of decision making.
Her mom married young and in consequence her mom has that issue at hand all the time and thinks differently about marriage and #6 now that she is able to gather her thoughts has a different view that still satisfies her mothers request. I love that about her culture! She is able to play with her moms decision and make it so that #6 decision is the one acted upon without getting mom angry. Family is the most important.
