[Kulazzi]

Hey guys!

No, this is not a racist thread. This is for my society and culture assessment which is like a mini PIP. I have to choose an ethnic culture (other than my own) and focus on the gender role and their affect in the communication process. I have decided to do Greeks since there are many at my school and on BOS. Anyways, please complete this survey for me before Monday afternoon and then I can analyse them all. You can even get your parents/grandparents to fill it out if you want so I can interpret the info from different generations. Please copy the survey and the paste it in your post to answer it, don't just write the question number and then a yes or a no Thanx again guys!
