The objective of this projects is to look at the biases that are in people's lives daily. In the current political climate do citizen believe that certain politicians will do better things than others? I use environmental scholarship and engage with Lewis and Clark students to look deeper into this question. My project included a survey with 8 environmental actions taken by the Trump or Obama administration and the participants had to correctly assign the action to the administration. The project also included one on one interviews centered around the participates reasoning behind the answers they gave in the survey. From the survey and interviews my project discovered that there was biases that affected how people answered the questions. I found that there was a lot of confusion over all the environmental actions that have occurred over the years.
