In honor of our nation’s birthday, I visited the streets of Boston Monday to interview people in an attempt to gauge the current attitude held by Americans towards their country. My goal was to find out whether or not people had faith in the United States and if they still felt like the nation as a whole was something worth fighting for.
I also wanted to know who they support for President and tried to look through their lens to see where they were coming from when answering my questions. In total I spoke with 25 people, with good responses on some of the questions from each. I am not sure if you can tell in the videos, but I had a blast putting this together. I love the United States, and I love Independence Day, so this was special to make.
The three questions I asked:
“ How would you describe the United States in one word?”
Who do you support for President of the USA?”
“Do you think the USA is going to make it? Will we persist?”
The final tally for the presidential question was actually very surprising, and the overall attitude towards the nation was largely positive. Overall, participants agreed that while the US had issues, we are still headed in the right direction. These are not issues that we can not overcome and we will do just that.
The final video “Do you think the USA is going to make it” will be posted by this evening. Now I’ve heard plenty from the folks in Boston on these three questions, however! We want to know-
What are your thoughts? How would you have replied to me on the streets?
Tune in to Friday at Four LIVE this afternoon at 4 PM to talk with Paul and Guy about these questions. Join us for a special, VDC TV belated American Birthday celebration this afternoon on Creemee Cast! Come with your answers!
