HELP me out with 3 minutes of your time.
Hey everyone, hope you're all doing well and are having a great day so far.
My name is browndude and I'm currently a student. As is the case with all students, we are obligated to write a paper from time to time for certain classes.
Currently the world is more divise than ever before, society is divided on a numerous stance of topics, so the following questionnaire aims to help you reflect whilst gathering public opinion across a wide array of contentious themes.

Thank you so very much for taking the time out to help me, it is greatly appreciated. Also, please do consider sharing it with your friends and family, the more people that fill the form, the better are my chances of securing an A+.
Thank you once again! High paw! 🐾
P.S. Any feedback or constructive criticism is welcome and greatly appreciated!
Unfortunately your form contains an e-mail address, so it is not allowed at 7 Cups because people could use it to contact you offsite.

Oh, didn't know that. Thank you for the heads-up, I've removed the mail link.

I think there needs to be more answers , specifically I don't know. Maybe I'm not aware.
My professor and I did consider including such an option, but in the initial few responses, we observed that people tended to gravitate towards any middle option that was available, so we decided to scrap the same.

I did the survey but the drop down for nationality would drop down or allow me to answer in order to complete the survey.
@browndude
Done, got it to work.
Thank you so much for your response! It truly means a lot. :)
@EnergySensitive
Thanks for this ;)
Thank you for taking the time to fill it out! :)

I think there needs to be more choices in your answers because it could be perceived that you are guiding people for answers by not giving them more choices for example an answer could be none of these apply in which case someone write in an answer.
Thank you for the feedback!
My professor and myself did discuss implementing some alternative to the standard yes/no question, but in the small sample size wherein we did include it, most of the answers tended to go towards the alternative. And the main point of the survey is to help you reflect on these topics to better understand yourself.
@MilagroMiguel
@browndude Done :) good luck!
Given this was posted at the beginning of the month, I'm assuming at this rate more responses are no longer actually needed (though there's no indication of any particular date here).
That said, as I ended up looking through it anyway, in case there is still any need for it, I can add more general feedback. Feel free to ignore this completely if you no longer care or need it.
Anyway, I noticed some of the questions were worded somewhat unclearly or with some ambiguity, and that may also skew results depending on whether people interpret them the way they were meant to, so that may be something to be more careful about.
Examples:
"Is mental health a real disesase?"
I'm pretty sure I know what this question means to ask, but what this question is directly asking is whether a form of health is a disease (which it is simply not). I believe it's supposed to say mental illness, not mental health.
"Do you believe in extra-terrestrial life?"
Do I believe it does exist? Can exist? Should exist? I think it's asking for whether I believe it does exist, but that form of question can potentially mean any of those.
"Do you believe in the system of joint families over nuclear families?"
I think this is asking whether one system of families is better, but again, "believe in" can be a slippery way to put it.
I'm sort of nitpicking but if you hopefully want the most accurate results you'd probably want to eliminate any ambiguity to avoid skewed results. I also agree that many of these could do with a "Don't know" or "neutral" sort of answer, because otherwise it will skew towards whatever answer seems the most "passive" (probably "no").
