Psychology

During my 3 generations paper I interviewed 3subjects. My 18-year-old teammate from Louisville, he is a white male that I have been knowing for about 2 months now. He is the youngest of my interviewees, and is a part of the adolescent group that I interviewed in the math lab after practice one day. My second person I interviewed is a 22-year-old female, who is also Bahamian that goes to Lee University; I have been knowing her for about roughly 2 weeks, an got the chance to interview her over the phone. She is the second youngest out of the group and belongs to the early adult hood group. My last interviewee I have known the longest out of them all, my 40-year-old uncle. Who is apart of the middle adult hood group. He is a black Bahamian that’s has had his paw prints on my life from birth, and I got the chance to interview him over the phone. I asked my interviewees 4 questions. The first question I asked was what is family to you? Second question. Where do you see yourself in 10 years. How do you feel about money, and what do you think is rich or wealthy? And Lastly what do you fear? My first interviewee was my teammate the 18 year old male an I were sitting in the math lab. I was waiting for him to finish up his work so we can head home, and I decided to ask him his questions while waiting. He was okay with question an answered them pretty easily. I asked him, “what is family to you?” he answered, “A relationship between people you relate to the most.” I then asked where do you see yourself in 10 years? He stopped look at me an answered with no hesitation “Having my own family and a stable job. The third question I asked was how do you feel about money, and what do you think is rich or wealthy? He answered, “I feel like money is very important today, and with out money you wont survive in todays society. The last question I asked him as I looked in to his eyes what do you fear? “Death!” as he stared back at me. “My family struggling” My second interview is a 22 year old female that I meet at a party an decided to interview her, she was kind of busy so I’m not sure if her mind was fully into what I was asking. What does family mean to you I asked? “Uhmm family is a group of people that are blooded related, comes from the same set of ancestors or background. Family is the set of people that I confide in. they are your supportive system.” okay I said where do you see yourself in ten years? “10 years myself working as a CEO in some big corporate company, with my own family, kids, making 6 figures” she laughed “ you aint gata put the last part” I found her to be passionate about her answers, and at this time I was very entertained. How do you feel about money and what do you think is rich or wealthy? He answered, “It is a difference between being rich and being wealthy. Wealthy is, people having money but very cautious on how they spend it. Rich people waste money basically.” I interestingly asked what do you fear? Nothing she laughed. “just being by the people that I love and care about. Cause I ha ve been hurt so much in the past. My third interviewee which my uncle the oldest out the group. He also was busy when I called; driving on the freeway I had about half of his attention. At 40 I had already expected his answers to be more mature than the rest. “What is family to you I said?” he replied “Heritage!” “The definition of who I am and will be!” where do you see yourself in 10 years I asked. Owning my own business an working for myself, spiritually teaching up an coming generations, and as a family man helping raise my grandchildren along with being a moral support for my own children. In general giving back to society. I said to him one more question before I let you go. What do you fear? How do you feel about money? What do you think is rich or wealthy money is a tool that should be used to enhance and make improvements to a life of an individual. One individual or group should use it wisely. In todays society I consider rich as anybody that has assets that exceed 10,000,000. What do you fear? First of all my greatest fear is the failure of being prepared for the future ever an inadequate job at helping my members after me. In conclusion I would say that I have learned anything new. All of my subjects acted jus as the earcson scale said they would. I just helped me to understand my interviewees more I guess on a personal level. I noticed that the older you get the more differently the individual begins to think, like their thought process is different the older he or she gets. They begin to think more about other instead of themselves.
