I decided to start with the British but I might end up returning to this first question to add more answers. I been thinking a lot about this survey and weather of not it will offend anybody. To be honest all my friends will not take any offence to the british stuff, probably because they know me and its an english person writing stuff about their own country. I am worried that some French for example will see that I put 'Smelly' for a stereotype and suggestion and get really really offended. However, I can't let this get in my way. I think I just have to go for it and get this questionnaire out there for people to answer, as when everyone has answered I will have strong research to start deigning from.
I found this wonderful comment by the Guardian 'The French aren't rude; they just hate you'. I find that funny and this could also be very true! They aren't rude to each other only the billions of tourists that spill into the country each year?
I thought it would be better if I made the survey in to a rating scale as I would like to know not just how much people agree with a stereotype but HOW much they agree with a stereotype. I think that after I have got my results I can then begin with my designing which I think will be the hardest part.
Things I still need to work out is WHO is my target audience and why they are my audience. Personally this will be something that will appeal to all age groups but I think I need to find a better reason for this.
Below is what I said with my survey attached by email, facebook etc.
'Hello! Here is a survey I have just completed that I would highly appreciate you helping me out on.
For my summer project I am looking in to Cultural Identities and how Britain stereotypes other countries in Europe. So from all my secondary research I have constructed a survey with all the stereotypes Britain supposedly believe to be true of other countries. I just want to know what you people think to be true and what you believe not to be true. Thank you!'
