Help! Need survey takers for school project

[FallingToFly]

Would you guys help me out on some stuff for school? Take this survey- completely anonymous, no salesmen will come to your door or call you- for me? My study group has helped me out a lot, and I'd like to return the favor (because gods know I'll need this kind of help soon!)

If'n I could remember anything about Plato, I'd take it....

Sorry!

 

[oggbashan]

I tried to answer it, but failed the last question.

I'm not in a US time zone because I'm in the UK. That trashes my answer.

Sorry!

The same thing happened to me. Couldn't answer due to ignorance.

I knew there was a reason I should've gone to college! The last time I studied any of the Greeks, I think I was 14 and somethin' tells me it wasn't in quite as much depth.

 

[FallingToFly]

:S

Damn. I was hoping I'd be able to help Iv out... she ran a survey for me a while back.

 

[cloudy]

I took it.

I think Joe W would know a bit about Plato -I point him in this direction when I see him

 

[rgraham666]

I filled it out.

I was under the impression though that Crete was the centre of the Minoan culture.

Eta: Yep, checked out wikipedia.

I took it. 9000, 900, who knows?

 

[sophia jane]

I took it.

 

[Salvor-Hardon]

Done and Done, and I love the idea of Atlantis.

 

[Selena_Kitt]

Done.

 

[drksideofthemoon]

Done...

Done--but I felt that it was an incompete survey. I know that most folk feel that Atlantis was based on Crete's civilization, and that's certainly possible. But there are plenty of earthquakes in that area of the world. And there have been plenty of pior civilzations destroyed by earthquakes.

Like Eden, Atlantis proposes a golden age or place--something that was perfect and wonderful, destoryed by a common disaster. This kind of nostolgic fantasy would seem to me to require no specific place or reality for it's creation.

Example:
I just lost my local coffee shop and it'd be easy enough for me to wax poetic about it--and others would think of THEIR lost coffee shops, and wax poetic about them, and pretty soon we'd have a story of the mythical Coffee Shop, all prefect and wonderful that was swallowed up by the big competition (Starbucks).

Our elaboration on it--over generations, would make this one coffee shop the most wonderful and magical coffee shop ever. Soon kids would be telling the story of the Atlantis Coffee House, and how incredible it was, and did it really exist? Well, yes and no.

Ditto with Atlantis. It *might* be based on a close reality like Crete--but it might just as easily be an amalgamation of several hundreds of years of island civilizations that flourished and then were lost due to natural disasters--earthquake, flood, famine, volcano, titlewave, invasion....

A simple, but exciting story of how a cool town or city was lost in a natural disaster can be combined with other such stories and elaborated on until it becomes Atlantis. There may be no one real city on which the story is based.

 

[oggbashan]

OK.

I lied on the last question and said I live in Hawaii. That's far enough out to be identified. GMT doesn't figure which is one of the problems of devising surveys. The possible answers should cover all likely alternatives.

Sorry!

Plato was Goofy's dog, I'm thinking. I took it anyway.

 

[Joe Wordsworth]

Took it.

Pffft, Atlantis.

 

[Bishonen]

Done.

 

[FallingToFly]

Thanks guys. It's a persuasive or subjective analysis paper (I can't remember, even though Iv's been working on it for like two months now) so it's sort of a "what if? Well I think..." thingy.

 

[Liar]

As a non american, I couldn't complete the survey, but i couldn't have anyway, since question 2 didn't have an option that I could have answered.

2. In Plato’s dialogues “Timeaus”, his ancestor Solon (500BC) was told the Legend of Atlantis by Egyptian priest of Saiis.

Do you think it’s possible that the priests accidentally distorted or mistranslated the legend?

Yes
No

I want the option "The priests coldn't have either misintepreted or gotten it right, because Plato made that dialouge up, like he made up all or most of his dialouges."

There is a world outside the US of A

Errrmm... subtract one from 'Eastern timezone', add one to 'GMT'.

Cheers

There's a world outside the U.S. of A? Hmmm. I see another survey....

Do you think Simon's assertion is:
-Reality
-Myth

If myth, what do you think could contribute to this long standing legend?
-All these stubborn folk under the illusion that other countries exist
-Fiction stories that take place in other countries
-The need for more time zones
-All of the above

1. Assertion: Reality because I'm outside the defined timezones too, so subtract 1 Hawaii and add to GMT.

2. The USA is mythical. It only exists in its inhabitants' consciousness. In fact they are still the UK's colonists and haven't realised. The Declaration of Independence was not based on legal precedents and is therefore null and void. They know the truth but won't accept it. After all they reckon their time zones from GMT, and their meridians from the Prime Meridian at Greenwich, UK.

Uhm, FtF, permission to pick apart the last few questions? Sorry, Social Research Methods class is resounding in my brain atm *runs away*

Took it (minus another Hawaii for me)

Niggling things

Choose the level of schooling that you have completed.

Some High School
High School Diploma or GED
Associate's Degree
Bachelor's Degree

US-Centric questioning. I think I picked the wrong one *g* What's an associates degree btw?

*12) Choose one of the following?

Single
Married
Divorced
Widow

The PC chick in me asks for "Partnered" to be an option. Also, if there's a widower taking this quiz, they're gonna be a bit stuck.

Slap me, I know my replies stink of smugness or something, I blame the cold and flu medication and the fact I'm working on said Social Research Methods paper.
