Survey for school...
Okay, so I have to do a correlation study for psychology and I'm wondering if there's a connection between: The decade people were teenagers (15-25) and their political activism - 1 being you don't even watch CNN(which no one here should be :-)), 5 being you vote but that's about it, and 10 being you volunteer and protest and all that stuff. So if anyone wants to answer those questions for me, that would be great. Thanks!

2. High school in the 80s
(Graduated in 1984) and I'd say I'm an 8. Informed and fired up, and trying to inform others and do what I can, but not always able to volunteer time.

5. I was a teen ager in the 60's, and I'm about a 7.5.
In the 60's, I didn't do much protesting and I was too young to vote.

9. I'm 30.
I was a teen in the late 80's (turned 15 in '89) and the nineties.
I rarely watch CNN (just for big stories when I'm at work) but I volunteer regularly.

11. I volunteer not just politically
but also in my church and for various organizations(park beautification and such).
Takes alot of time but it's a good thing for my daughter to see.
