Question 3 Graph

This question does two things – finds out what each individual thinks of his/her country, and determines if there is enough awareness throughout the world. 

There are many answers that relate directly to laws that are made in that country.  An example would be tightening airport security, which is a direct result of the recent Patriot Act.  The elimination of nuclear bombs (referring to Japan and its constitution) is obviously a major issue due to our extended campus trip in Hiroshima.
