Focus our study

Hello,

I also agree with Jordan about the Afghanistan questions but I also think it would be interesting to also ask more vague questions about defense and then more precise ones. This is because often with surveys respondents answers are conflicting. For example we could ask a general question like "How much annual spending on defense do you feel is appropriate?" and then have different amounts of money and then ask a question like "Do you Agree with the Canada's current commitment in Afghanistan?" and then we could compare answers and have an idea of how much people are comfortable with spending when they agree with the current commitment then compare this to actual money spent on the commitment and then you could have an idea of weather the money spent on Afghanistan corresponds to what people would want to allocate based on weather or not they agree with the commitment. Or maybe this is dumb and to complicated for our ten research questions. Maybe its a bad example but I think asking vague and narrow questions can be effective! I also agree that we shouldn't discuss current events because we can not assume the people taking the survey know current events and instead we should just ask questions!
