24. Conclusion Guessing accuracy was… mixed Mostly bad
White Americans aren’t quite as nationalistic as we expected
Probably would have gotten more meaningful results if we asked older people

25. More Conclusion
Based on GDP graph, China could overtake US Majority of each subgroup believe that China will replace the US as the world’s economic superpower Majority of each subgroup believe that people in the US will move to China for job opportunities Majority of each subgroup believe that China is pulling ahead in science and technology

26. Still Concluding Nationalism probably played a role in answers
Political socialization
Results questionable due to size of sample group
Percentages probably didn’t mean very much
