How Many People Don't Know Who The Prime Minister Is
Responses Sheet
Facts
Out of the 53 people we interviewed, only 5 (9.43%) Did not know who the Prime Minister was.
Out of the 5 persons who did not know who the Prime Minister was, 3/5th were females with an average age of 16. Both guys were 18 years old.
Assumptions
We found this surprising because we were actually expecting more people to not know who the Prime Minister was. This is because the stereotype of the younger generation is that they have no knowledge on politics.
Although this number is very small, it is still very shocking to know that there are actually British people who don’t know who’s running their country. The people who set the laws that they have to abide by. The people that can either make or break their future.
What Did I Know?
Before this lesson I knew that quite a lot of people did not know who the Prime Minister was due to how politics is not something many young people talk about. But it was surprising to find out that only a select few didn't know who he was. I also knew that splitting the facts from the assumptions to make it more clearer for the reader so they do not get confused between the statements and our personal opinions.
What Did I Learn?
I learnt that using statistics such as Percentages are a key part of collecting information/data as it gives you an overview of the publics views of the topic you are discussing. I also learnt that so little people didn't know who our prime minister was even though the topic of Politics is not generally popular in the younger generation. It surprised me to know that people aged between 16 and 21 knew so much about certain areas of Politics when not many people in the Media in that age range talk about that subject.
