Survey Project Reflection *v*

In this survey project, our group did on a topic on " Japanese Perception towards marriage".
It is my first time to conduct a online survey 8v8 and I am so happy to know more about the view of Japanese people.


Base on the result, it is pleased to know there are higher proportional of the interviwees who are willing to get married. It can be interpreted that actually most Japanese regard family life is important in their life and this is a healthy phenomenon in a society. Although nowadays Japan are seriously affected by the culture of Otaku and many people worried that it will affect the intention of Japanese people from getting married, I think it won't affect much for most of the Japanese people : )


Moreover, there are some interesting findings in this survey. One of the questions is asking : will they want to get married with foreigners? There is a funny answer is he/she would like to marry with foreigners as foreign countries are allowed same sex marriage which is prohibited in Japan. Some of them even think that they can get a foreign country's passport if they marry with foreigners.


Other main focus in this survey whether the Japanese will give birth or not. Our expectation is should be more peole prefer not to have a baby due to poor economic or serious stress of the Japanese people. However, the result shown that actually Japanese peolple prefer to have a baby. It may because they think having a baby can make a family more perfect!  In this survey, we didn't ask the reasons why they want to have baby or don't, this is another direction for future project. We can know deeper their perception on having offsprings.


In this survey, we conducted through the internet. Undoubtedly, it is convenient to hold the survey, but there are some limitations for online survey. First, we didnt know what is the answer of different individuals so that we cannot interpret in a accurate way. Second, we cannot not ask specific question to certain people, we can only set some general qeustions for all the interviewees.  Therefore, I prefer to have a direct face to face interview the people concerned as we can know more about their background and can ask some specific questions on a particular situation. This can make the survey moer concise.
