People with Albinism Survey

I am conducting this survey for a project in my English class. We are working with the thematic question, “To what extent can you understand someone?” Stereotypes and prejudices make some people uncomfortable, but we face them everyday. I have chosen to study and work with the group, People with ALBINISM, for my project. The survey asks you some questions to gage a general idea of the public’s thoughts and opinions on this group. These answers will only be read by me. Your name will not be used in my project. Be as honest and open as you feel comfortable. Thank you for being a part of my project!

I Agree

* When someone says "Albino" what is the first thing that comes to mind?

How do you think Albino people are treated in different places around the world?

	Like They Aren't Human	Gruesome	Made Fun of a Tiny Bit	Okay	Perfectly Normal
* United States

* Africa

* Europe

* Asia

* Do you think people with Albinism are "normal"?

* People with Albinism are persecuted everyday in Africa for their body parts because Albino are people are so pale. There is a misconception that Albino people possess some magical power and can provide people with good fortune with the use of some black magic. The body parts are used in a potion for the magic and that's why Albino peoples' body parts are so valuable. What is your opinion on this? Did you know that any of this was happening in Africa?
