A thought occured to me today. It doesn't happen very often, but when it does, I grab onto it and mull it over. It happened when I read a book that mentioned that a study was done to prove that people will complete surveys with answers that they think that society would approve of. While pondering this alarming issue it dawned on me that "society" constitutes a whole bunch of people who answered previous surveys who had pretty much hoped and guessed that thier answers would also please society. Yikes...a paradox!! So, why is it that we're a proud people who claim to love individualism and diversity? Sure, there are a few who will take thier stand on something different, but research seems to indicate that we don't want anyone to know what we're really thinking. What do you all think?
