Interview papers

Comenius interview papers: comparing answers between 0-20 year old Finnish boys and all of interviewed people.

Under 20 year old boys from Finland think that air pollution, pollution of waterbodies and decreasing of animal and plant species are the most threating things for the well-being of nature. When we compare these boys and all people, we can notice that Finnish young boys don't scare other threats like the increase of nuclear power or that winter is getting more warmer as much like all interwieved people.
Finnish boys think that rising petrol price, increasing restrictions of smoke or rising product prices have no influence to nature. But they belive that increasing recycling and favouring locally produced food have great influence. All interwieved are agree with recycling and locally food but they also belive that rising petrol prices, increasing restrictions of smoking and rising product prices have some influence.
Nobody of finnish boys havent said that already act environmentally but many people has said thinking about to do/will start to doing soon something like cut down using a car, recycling more or stop smoking etc. Majority still wont do any changes. But when we look all interviewed they mostly will save nature by recycling and stop smoking.
Finnish boys like that most important pictures were 1 and 4. Most beautiful was 4. Pictures 2,1 and 5 were most air pollution making and pictures 4 and 3 were most worth of protect landscapes. All interwieved were almost agree of each picture.

The statements in the pictures were:
The surroundings are important for me, the view is beautiful, the landscape is worth protecting, global warming effects the area, the authentic, genuine nature is in threat, the air gets polluted, there is an increased risk of skin cancer, energy consuming is getting greater and the amount of trash gets greater.

The results were:
Picture 1: Finnish people have chosen the first picture more often than the Italians. Most of all people have chosen the air gets polluted to be the most worrying thing.
Picture 2: Finnish people have chosen the second picture more often than the Italians. Finnish are most worried about that the air gets polluted and Italians are worrying about that energy consuming increases
Picture 3: In general Finnish people have chosen the third picture more often than the Italians. Most of all people have chosen the landscape is worth protecting the most worrying thing.
Picture 4: In general Finnish people have chosen the fourth picture more often than the Italians. Finnish chose that the view is beautiful more often and the Italians chose that the landscape is worth protecting.
Picture 5: In general Finnish people have chosen the fifth picture more often than the Italians. Italians are also most worried about that the air gets polluted and Finnish that the water bodies get polluted.
Picture 6: Finnish people have chosen the sixth picture more often than the Italians. Most of all people have chosen that the amount of trash gets greater.

Conclusion: Both Italians and Finnish are worried about global warming and both want to do something but finnish are more willing. Finns also do more recycling and they would more happily cut down on using cars. In the end they are very alike When it comes to environmental things.

We asked people what they think about our nature and do they worry about greenhouse effect and global warming. I made research of 0-20 years old girls what they think about all this things and I compare answers to the whole average. We can see that answers were pretty same with whole average. But I found couple answers which was different. Example question 16. Whole receiver thinks that increasing restrictions of smoking is some influence, but girls think that it’s not influence. And when we watch question 25, we see another different part. Many thinks that they could think about buy locally produced food but girls aren’t so sure. There is different part too, question 28. Girls aren’t so ready recycle more than others. But after all, answers are almost same.

Most girls think that the important place for them is picture 3. It was photo of Finland forest. The most beautiful picture was 4, which was view of Cagliari beach. Of course girls like beaches. Many girls are ready to protect picture’s three view. Second was the same picture from the beach. Many thinks that air gets polluted in picture one, but they realized too, that airplanes polluted air a lot.
It’s hard to compare girls answers to the whole average because answers are almost same. I think that girls that we had interviewed were 15-20 years old so it explain same answers with adults.
