To get a better understanding of people from different countries and cultures.

The Questions:
My goal with these questions is not to influence the people I am asking, but to understand.  I try not to give my own opinion during the interview.  If asked, I tell them I will answer any questions once the interview is finished.  Is this a scientific study?  No, I am just trying to get a better understanding of what people around the world think by asking the people I come across.  These questions here are different from the original questions I asked when I started this process.  I make adjustments to the questions based upon how the interviews go and feedback from the people I interview.  I plan on sharing some of the powerful and moving responses I have gotten on my website.  If you like, feel free to answer the questions and send them to me.  If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
