2. Introduction
I am researching “stereotypes of the
USA”
Held by students and teachers at
Luanda International School, Low
Income Angolan Worker and orphans at
Irma Domingos Orphanage.
3. Hypothesis
I think that American’s will have positive
stereo types because they have lived in
the USA so they know the truth about the
USA.
However I think that non-Americans will
have a negative response because
television and other people that have had
a bad experience in the USA or with
American people, although they may have
a positive responses.

6. Conclusion
I have noticed that the all of the Americans that I have surveyed came out
with positive responses, or example “The USA has many natural
resources “ was repeated three times.
All of the Non-Americans came out with negative responses . For example
“ Americans are drunk and crazy “ was repeated three times.
One of the actions that I have thought of is to take all of the positive
responses and research them and share them with the clusters that
have negative responses.
• Teacher Question: How do these results link back to your
hypothesis?
