YouTube Survey's result

We are CESL students in SIUC, Carbondale. We study news, and we decided to do a survey on YouTube. Our group contains of four students: Yasmeen, Ai, Ryo, and Hannah. Our group is making survey about privacy. We learned that some people like to interrupt other peoples’ privacy by taking their pictures without their knowledge. We are interested to know more about this issue, and gathered more information by seeing Americans’ reaction about this topic. So, we ask Americans many questions such as have you ever heard of YouTube? Are you interested in YouTube? Have you ever made a clip and put it in YouTube? And has anyone filmed you and put your film in YouTube?. I went to Laundromat, and while people were waiting their clothes to be done, I handed them out survey papers. In the beginning there were just three Americans, but after have an hour, there were seven Americans. So, I gave survey papers for six of them. In the end I got nine papers. I found that American people are very friendly, and they have willing to help other people. They were smiling, and two males asked me if I have more papers to full them out. Most of them were laughing when I gave them the survey about the question in the survey says has anyone filmed you and put your film in YouTube? They said we will open YouTube and search to fiond if there is any picture for us while the other said may be we don’t know. However, I think one of them said yes there was some one who took his picture without her permission when she was in a high school, but she said that she don’t know if her picture in YouTube or not.

In this survey, the result is that most Americans both males and females go to YouTube to watch movie clips. Males are more likely watch movie clips in YouTube than females. The most ages who like to watch YouTube clips are teen ages from 18 to 22. Most males will find another site to watch video clips if YouTube will charge them while most females will pay for video clips if YouTube will charge them. The numbers of males who made a clip and put it in YouTube more than females numbers. Ages from 18 to 22 are the most ages who someone filmed them and put their clips in YouTube. Females who said yes, law should punish people who filmed them without permission are more than males who said yes. Most females said that people shouldn’t be allowed to take any pictures of anyone who is in public while most males said yes people should be allowed to take any picture of anyone who is in public. Most ages between 18 to 22 likes paparazzi more than any other ages. The numbers of both males and females who said government shouldn’t control the language that appears on YouTube are more than the numbers of both males and females who said yes the government should control the languages that appears on YouTube.

In my opinion I was surprised about the survey’s result because most males are like to watch YouTube more than females and they are more interested to watch YouTube more than Females. However, females will pay for YouTube if it charges them money, and males will find another site. That was really surprised me. I think it is realistic that 18 to 22 ages are more enjoy YouTube video clips than any other ages. In this survey I found that the less interested ages in YouTube is than under 18. I think this is very strange result because under age 18 teen ages have curiosity to discover and to see any thing new. This survey has some faults. One of these faults is it is very long, and I know if I give this survey to large number of people, some people will refuse to do it. Another fault in this survey is some questions are quit similar. I think if we combine some questions with each other, it will be better. Also, In my opinion if we just put yes and question, it will be easier for American to fill up the survey.
