First off when I started to read this article it is like every other politician they always ask questions that no one understands. The questions are based upon what not many people would not understand. If you want people to get involved with questions that have to deal with money then you have make the question so people would understand it. These are very open ended questions. This entire question hit really soft parts on people because since there is not that much money right now all the questions were asked about people wallets. The way that these questions needed to be asked is right to the point. You need to see if someone wants taxes raised not beat around the bush. In the article that they needed to ask questions about the economy and needed to say that some of the tax cuts did not work and those are the ones that you should survey about. Not to put a damper on a sour subject but I really just think that people need know more what they are talking about and if they don’t understand the survey then they should not take it. The survey was a really good way to confuse people even more about where their tax money is going. Like it said in the book too many open ended questions is not a good thing. Using a double barrel question, gave people two things when they don’t understand one. They needed to write clean and precise questions. As we discussed in class today I really just think that questions should be asked right the first time.

Research Opportunity
The thing that I talk about for my market research problem was that I wanted to do something for Blue Martini in Las Vegas. One of the main reasons that I wanted to try and help out Blue Martini was because they are in the mall called Town Square that I work at. I believe that there is so much future potential that they have but they just don’t see it.
The main thing that I wanted to talk about was that I think that they need to find a way to get more mall employees to come to their bar more. The way that I first thought about it, was when you have someone get off work and they get in their car and drive to a different bar when there is one right in their mall you have to find a way for them to stay there. I know a lot of the people that work at Blue Martini, and I had asked them before what is a good night for mall employees to go if there is one. I always get the same answer any night because there is no special night or deals. The main problem with Blue Martini is that they think that they are the best place in that mall and they almost seem too good for deals for employees.
I talked to one of the VIP host and talked to him about an idea that I have for mall employees. The first thing I told him was that you have to find a way to get more of us into your place because it will only do good things. I told him that we get a lot of people into our store and it could be very easy to tell them about Blue Martini. I told him that is free adverting for your place.
The idea that I had was to have a mall night or to make some sort of discount card for mall employees. Anything is better then nothing. During a weekday they charge us same as everyone else to get in. I said that this just really has to stop. Free entry and have to give some sort of deal as well. I told him that some money for people is better then no money at all. I told him just to make people feel special make up a card and give it to the stores so they can give them to their employees. I think that Town Square is a little community and me being form a small town we all need to work together to get each other business. It is really hard now a day to get people into your store or restaurant and to buy something is even harder. Just start working together I don’t see how it could hurt anything for sending a customer to another store. That way you help out your fellow employee and you help out the customer.

Week Five EOC: Prvacy?
After reading the Wall Street Journal article I am really scared to do anything online any more. I have always thought to some cause that someone is looking at what I am doing, but I think that it is going to far. If you really sit and think about it, think about all the stuff that you do online and how much things you buy or look at. We pay bill we buy clothes and so much more. I have sent personal info online or have posted things on facebook that anyone can see. I think that a lot of people know that people can see what they are doing, but as long as nothing bad happens I think that they are okay with it. “A 20-year-old woman stalked through the Internet and killed. Thousands of e-commerce customers watching as their credit card numbers are sold online for $1 apiece.” Msnbc.com. Just reading the first line really freaks me out. Then reading the second line scars me too. What should we do about this? It says that a girl died and people are selling credit card numbers too. This has gone way too far. “The theft of data of over 77 million users of Sony’s PlayStation network (including credit card information of 280,000 of its 715,000 Australian users)” http://www.ethiopianreview.com/index/20111/400121. This just happened last week and this has been a really big deal. Think about all the people that have money and buy things online form Sony. Everyone got hacked and as the quote says there is a lot of credit card information that is out there now. “Everybody points to advertising. That’s just the tip of the iceberg,” Jackson said. “We as consumers don’t have any knowledge of what really goes on out there.” http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3078835. This just goes to what I was saying no one really want to know what is going on they just live on with their lives until one day it involves them.
