RJA#12b: Field Research Report

I conducted a survey of twenty people, who's ages ranged between 21 and 64. I chose people with various backgrounds (e.g. jobs, ethnicity, age, political views etc). I asked what they thought of dams and their environmental and economic roll, the outcome was very interesting, and not what I expected.

Four People: (ages 35, 23, 26, and 30)
- Believe that dams have grave implications (economically and environmentally). These four people were able to give examples backing up their points.

Twelve People: ( ages 21, 26, 27, 23, 25, 64, 58, 59, 52, 48, 49, 31)
- believed that dams did not significantly alter ecology and biodiversity.

Four People: (ages 62, 41, 23, 24)
- argued that without dams our nation would not have progressed as it has, therefore whatever implications that dams "supposedly" incur, it did not outweigh progress.
