interviews, yes?

In thinking about people that I would like to interview for my research paper, I realized it was going to be a little hard for me because I’ve never had to interview anyone before for a research paper. So it’s definitely going to be different doing so for a paper. I thought about who would be good to interview that would give me good information I could use. Since my topic is about the stereotypes of blondes and how they are depicted as “dumb and ditsy” in the media, I figured I would interview a couple who knew a lot about the media and why such stereotypes are portrayed so much in the media. I plan on asking them such things like, “why do you think this stereotype is so popular in the media?” and “how do they think it came about?” Another couple of people I would to interview are ones that have been affected in real life because of this stereotype in the media, for one example a close friend of mine Ashley because she has her own experiences having to deal with this stereotype since she is a blond and many people just assume she is dumb. I plan on asking her how this makes her feel when people just assume because she is blond that she is dumb, when really she has been at the top of her class all her life in school. I also would like not only her opinion on the matter but also if she thinks the stereotype does any justice to blondes in real life, as well as if she thinks there is any truth at all to what is portrayed. I feel like doing these interviews will expand my knowledge and I can get a feel also for the personal experiences that one must go through due to the stereotypes depicted through the media. So I think it’ll be interesting to hear what each person has to say about the topic.
