This survey is very important and gives students a good chance to deal with American people. There are different topics inside it. Also, there are different opinions. I saw people don’t care about what they wrote because they think they are correct even if they talk about politics. There are many good questions that talked about what happens in USA, such as, health insurance, coffee, jobs, Obama, and more. I think this survey make me think how American people solve these problems.

In this survey I am interested in the coffee questions because when I came to the USA I saw most people drink it. Also, in Saudi Arabia I didn’t drink coffee like now. In USA I drink 2 or 3 cups of coffee in a day, but in KSA twice a week. In this survey I saw most people like to drink coffee, but there are different reasons for why they drink it. Also, I stop in one point which is most American don’t drink black coffee in the morning. They change it by other flavors. Also, most of them drink it in the morning but I think I am able to drink it at any time. Now coffee is ahabit for me and I must drink it every morning to feel key.

Q/ 17

Q17. Why does people rate of unemployment keep increasing?

This question is an open question, and there are a lot of different answers. Some people think the economy is very bad. Also, others told that there are not enough jobs. In some paper people left it blanket without any answer. A few people answered the jobs were given to other countries, taxes, and government problem. Finally, I think the main problem is there are not enough jobs for all people.

In the first of October I went to Lone Star restaurant to do my survey. I asked six people of different ages. I didn’t face any problem when I told them to answer my survey. Most of the people I interviewed live outside of Carbondale. Some of them told me to sit with them to eat dinner, but I couldn’t because I was busy. One of the people I will not forget because I made conversion with him more than one hour, and he describe for me the most important question and how people feel bad. In the end I thank the manager of the restaurant for helping me to contact with people. Also, I would to thank all people who helped me in the survey.

Title of article: Saudi king: Women will be allowed to vote and run for office

Publication: http://www.cnn.com/2011/09/25/world/meast/saudi-women-vote/index.html?hpt=wo_c2

Short summary:

This news talked about an important thing which happened in Saudi Arabia. Yesterday, King Abdullah allowed women to enter Shura Council and gave them a chance to vote and enter the Municipal council. But for the woman to drive the car, he doesn’t allow them.

Issues that can I find:

1- Why did King Abdullah allow women to enter these two councils?

2- Why doesn’t King Abdullah allow women to drive?

3- What is the reaction of the Saudi people to these two resolutions?

My opinion:

I think these two resolutions are very important in this time because the woman is one of the important parts in Saudi society. On the other hand, woman can’t drive in this time because infrastructure is not prepared until now to have more cars in the street. Also, in Saudi Arabia the women are protected and preserved from any hatred.
