This survey is for a sociology major’s senior thesis project.
LGBT+ rights is a huge hot topic in the United States, and has been a topic of great interest on the George Fox campus. My research focuses on opinions in the following areas: opinions about the nature, the origins, and the social norms and laws regarding LGBT+, and there will be a few questions about respondent demographics.
Opinions on this matter may be divided on this campus, but which opinions prevail? How do the opinions relate to each other? This survey will take about 10-15 minutes.
Thank you

Hello everybody!
For my senior research class, I have constructed a survey that addresses the following research question:
Does the use of social media affect the behavior and/or attitudes of citizens towards law enforcement officers?
It is my hope to get the attitudes and perceptions of law enforcement from students at George Fox regarding their own media usage.
It would be awesome if you would think about taking this survey (link below), as it will be very beneficial to my research. Thank you for your time, and have a great day!

Chris Morrissey (Sociology) has signed a contract with Routledge to publish a book, Priestly or Prophetic: Christianity Supporting and Challenging American State Violence in Iraq. Priestly or Prophetic argues the religious sphere of meaning was a crucial terrain on which the United States debated the Iraq War and that religious legitimation of the actions of the state was as strong a predictor of support for the war as any other factor. For the present and coming challenges of the 21st century, understanding and choosing between religion as priestly or prophetic vis-à -vis state violence remains an issue of utmost importance for believers and nonbelievers – both here and abroad. Publication is anticipated in the spring of 2018.
