people to consider this matter better and encourage them to take part to share

their thoughts.

We will be interviewing about 3 people who are knowledgeable about politics

or this matter of Korea’s boycott of Japanese goods. Also, we will approach

students of our school who are willing to be interviewed. The reason behind this is

to know how well youths know about this citizens’ movement who organized the

boycott; and if Korean students studying abroad are familiar with this issue going

on in Korea. We will be asking for their opinion on whether or not they think this

has led to any economical benefits, crisis or retaliation. We will also ask if they

think that this boycott is reasonable or not, and why. Through interviewing, we aim

to collect some novel opinions of different perspectives and analyze them carefully.

Quantitative Method

For the quantitative method, we will proceed with surveys. The reason why we

chose to do surveys is because they can be done anonymously, which will allow

people who take it to be more honest to themselves. Also, surveys are in multiple-

choice format, which can be much convenient for people as they will easily be able

to make up their minds compared to subjective, open-ended questions.

In addition, it can be the best method to quantitate the results. We aim to

survey at least 30 people of different races in our school and outside of school. We

will be asking them if they are aware of Korea’s boycott of Japanese goods; and if

they are/were a participant.

We can provide a simple summary of this matter on the survey for people who

are not fully aware and then let them share their opinions on the next question.

We will also question whether or not they think this boycott is reasonable. Their

answers to these questions can show us the significance of the boycott in Korea.
