Interview

    I interviewed a girl in one of my South Bank University classes. Her name was Karissa. 

1)  Question: If your family is not originally from the UK, when did you/your family first move here? And why?    

Answer: My mother moved to the UK when she was ten years old from Jamaica and my father moved to the UK when he was twenty-one from Cyprus. They decided to move here because some family members had already settled in the UK, so they decided to join them.

2) Question: How do you identify yourself?

Answer: I identify myself as British. 

3) Question: To what extent does racism still exist in London?

Answer: It is not so much racism being a big problem, but more to do with closed minded people that may not be as well socialized with different cultures and ethnicities.

4) Question: What are your religious beliefs?

Answer: Christianity

5) Question: What attributes define British culture and character?

Answer: The Queen, tea, and traditional English breakfast/meals.

6) Question: Do you believe the Queen should remain Head of State, or should the UK become a Republic, and give your reasons?

Answer: The Queen should remain the Head of State because that’s what makes Britain what it is.

7) Question: What do you like to do in your spare time?

Answer: I like to visit galleries and museums. I also like to go shopping and going to different restaurants.
