And...

So last week I said I would start asking people questions. Unfortunately, this hasn't happened. This is kind of an interlude. Next post, I'd like to have at least 2 students and 2 adults asked. Hopefully this happens over the weekend.

Questions: Adult Version

In my last blog post I posted the questions for teenagers, so these questions are for the adults.

Music
1. What music and artists are popular with today's teenagers
2. Why do you think the music is popular?
3. How is music from your generation different from today's?


Fashion
1. What brands of clothing are popular with teenagers today?
2. Is there a certain way of wearing clothing that's popular?
3. What are your opinions of the younger generation's style?

Slang
1. Any popular sayings you can think of that teenagers say a lot?

Social Media and Technology
1. How big of a part do you think social media and technology play in a teenager's life?
2. Is it (in your opinion) possible for them to take a breather?

Education
1. Do you think teenagers care about education as much as they should?

News
1. Do you believe teenagers care about what's going on in the world? Why or why not?

Celebrities
1. What celebrities do you think are relevant in today's society?
2. What influence do you think these celebrities hold over young people?

In my next blog post I'll start to include responses to my questions.

Questions: Teenager version

I've changed my decision for good this time. I'm sticking with the idea of interviewing teenagers and the older generation on their opinions of one another. For this to work, I'll obviously have to have questions to ask.

Interview questions (teenage version)
Music:
1. What music and artists are popular with teenagers today?
2. Why do you think the music is popular? What's the reason you like the music?
3. What do you think your parents, or older people view the music of today?

Fashion:
1. What brands of clothing are popular with teenagers today?
2. Is there a certain way of wearing clothes that's popular?
3. What do you think of the older generation's style?

Slang
1. List any slang words you use (ex. "fy", "dead" "bae")

Technology
1. How frequently do you use technology (smart phone, computer, etc.)
2. List any social media you use
    ~reason why you're apart of it?
3. Are you "famous" on that particular media? Is it important that you are?
4. How big of a part does social media play in your life?

Education
1. On a scale of 1-5, how important is education to you?
2. On a scale of 1-5, how important is education to your parents?
3. Are you failing any classes? Taking honors? AP?

News
1. Would you say you're aware of current events in the world?
2. Would you say that you care about current events in the world?

Celebrities
1. Name your favorite celebrities, or celebrities you think are relevant?
2. Why do you like or dislike these celebrities?
3. Why do you think these celebrities are relevant in today's society?



I might modify these questions later on, but currently I think the questions are fine. In my next blog post I'll include the questions for adults.
