Un baromètre de la tolérance en Belgique Etude de faisabilité

14) Version 1: (Neutral)
Suppose there were a community-wide vote on a general housing issue and that
there were two possible laws to vote on. One law says that homeowners can
decide for themselves who to sell their houses to, even if they prefer NOT to sell
to blacks. The other law says that homeowners cannot refuse to sell to someone
because of their race or color. Which law would you vote for?
Version 2: (Property rights)
Some people believe that hom eowners should be free to decide for themselves
who to sell their house to, even if they prefer not to sell it to blacks. For
example, some people might say it isn’t that they don’t want to sell to blacks; it’s
just that they don’t want to be told what to do with their own property. I n other
words, they feel that
because it’s their property, they should have the right to sell to anyone they
want to.
How do you feel about this? Do you think homeowners should be able to decide
for themselves who to sell their houses to, even if they prefer not to sell to
blacks, or do you think hom eowners should not be allowed to refuse to sell to
someone because of their race or color?
Version 3: (Role of governm ent)
Some people believe that the government should make an active effort to see
that blacks can live anywhere they choose, including white neighborhoods.
Others believe that this is not the governm ent’s business and it should stay out
of this. How do you feel? (Is this an area the government should stay out of or
should the government make an active effort to see that blacks can live
anywhere they can afford to - including white neighborhoods?)
15) Now I’m going to read some statem ents about things some people consider
important in life. Using a number from zero (0) to ten (10), please tell me how
important each one is to you. I f it’s one of the absolutely m ost important things
to you, give it a ten. If it’s one of the least important things, give it a zero.
(You’re free to use any number between zero and ten, but remember, the more
important som ething is to you, the higher the number you should give it.)
How about "Tolerating different beliefs and lifestyles?" (On a scale from zero to
ten, how important is that to YOU?)
16) Now I’ll read a list of problems facing the country. As I read each one, please
use a number from zero to ten to tell me how angry it makes you. If something
doesn’t bother you at all, give it a zero. On the other hand, if the situation makes
you extremely angry or upset, give it a ten. (Feel free to use any number
between zero and ten, but rem ember, the more som ething angers or upsets you,
the higher the num ber you should give it.)
