I need your Help

Gradstudent · 02-27-2006, 01:57 AM

Hello,
I'm new to this site and I'm hoping that anyone reading this can help.

My name is Stacey Denovchik, I am a graduate student studying Geography, trying to complete research for a thesis. I am trying get information about as many countries and cultures as possible.

I am conducting research on engagement customs around the world. I hope to gather enough information to present a world view of current engagement rituals and contribute to our understanding of global culture.

I have created a small online survey that will take approximately five minutes to complete. You will be asked questions regarding your country, cultural and family customs.

Please take a few minutes to follow the link below. If you know anyone else that can help please feel free to pass the link along.

This is a voluntary survey, all responses are kept confidential and no names will be requested or recorded. You can choose to quit the survey at any time by closing the server without hitting the submit button.

Thank you so much for your help.

If you have any suggestions as to ways to reach people please let me know. If you want to know the end results let me know.

it worked that time. good luck. what is your thesis?

Thanks so much

It's really hard collecting information internationally.

My thesis is studying globalization and how it is affecting world culture.
My thought is that there is a connection between De Beers advertising and Diamond engament rings.

If anyone has any thoughts on this please give my your opinions.

Chinese people and Indian people like buying gold for weddings or for daily wearing. Only modern minded rich people would like to buy diamond rings for engagement. Engagement is uncommon with Chinese people. Why? Gold is practical, it can always be traded off for money. If we buy low and sell high, we'll gain money. For diamonds, we may get only 30% of the original price, hopefully. It is a tradition for people to run away with gold in case of war.
