[Inseriousity.]

1) What is your gender?
Male

2) How old are you?
18

3) If any, what religion do you follow?
I'm not officially any religion but I've been raised in Catholic schools so my morals tend to be similar to Catholic, I suppose.

4) What television channel do you watch most out of the list below?
- BBC 1

5) What type of programme do you watch the most out of the list below?
Soap

6) Do you or have you watched any programmes that focus on relgion? If so please specify which (one or two examples will do).
Not in my free time, no. In school, I've watched 'The Miracles of Jesus' (BBC1) and 'Godless Society' (Channel 4) but don't know if that'd count or not.

7) Would you be interested in gaining an insight into another religion and what it has to offer?
Yes, I'd love expanding my knowledge further.

8) Do you know anything about the Buddhist religion? If yes please specify (only vaguely) what it is you know.
- Buddha
- Aim: Enlightenment
- Buddha had a religious experience - this started it off.

9) Would you be interested in a documentary focusing on Buddhism and people within the religion? If yes please specify why.
No because I'm just too busy!

10) Do you believe religion affects the way people act socially? Please explain your answer.
Yes, religious people (in general) tend to be nicer although in a way they also stay firmly in their own groups and this can affect how they interact with the 'outsiders'

11) How do you perceive people who practice the Buddhist faith to be? (EG - peaceful, understanding, angry, arrogant, etc)
Hehe generalisation of Buddhism is probably the HUMMMMMMMMMMMM meditation

12) Do you believe joining a religion can change a person? If yes, why do you think so?
Yes, for better or worse? Well that really depends on the person not the religion but faith/religion has a massive influence on people's lives as it's such a grand gesture. To suddenly have a God-like figure in your life is not going to keep you the same as someone who doesn't believe. Not a huge difference, atheists can still be moral people too but religious people are more likely to be as they have a higher being 'governing' them.

8) Do you know anything about the Buddhist religion? If yes please specify (only vaguely) what it is you know.
Oh god I don't really remember much of what I did use to know. Nirvana is like the ultimate level of kinda spiritualness they can reach I think, where they've reached total content. Once they've reached nirvana they don't have to be reborn again I think.

9) Would you be interested in a documentary focusing on Buddhism and people within the religion? If yes please specify why.
Yeah, blatantly I know very little about it and more knowledge is always good.

10) Do you believe religion affects the way people act socially? Please explain your answer.
Yes. If they follow their religion's teachings closely then this can only affect them in ways that are different to the social norms nowadays. Of course they'll be people who are religious, or at least believe in some religious teachings, but then don't choose to follow all the religious teachings.

11) How do you perceive people who practice the Buddhist faith to be? (EG - peaceful, understanding, angry, arrogant, etc)
Peaceful and generally hard working.

Yes most definately, it could completely change their personality and outlook on life. Not only does their beliefs change but the way the run their life.

Yes definitely. As I said above, religious people often have a different view of the world to those who have a differing opinion to them. Their morals and the way they conduct themselves often in turn follows this
