THE INTERNATIONAL POLLS:
Previously, WACJ (World Art Celebrities Journal
conducted two international polls in 65 countries and in the United States
and targeted audiences which constituted the majority of its readers in the
eastern and western hemispheres. Over 200.000 questionnaires were completed
and sent back to the magazine. No importance was given to the age,
profession and political views of those persons who received and answered
the questionnaires. The results received from those previous polls are
diametrically different from the results of this current poll which was
conducted between May and September of 2003. The results were different and
perhaps contradictory for obvious reasons. We have published the results of
the two previous international polls in other sections of this edition.
Please refer to.
In 2003, between May 2nd and September 7th,
and April 16th and May 14th WACJ circulated approximately 600.000
questionnaire/lists among its readers and music lovers in 125 countries
members of the United Nations. The questionnaires were sent to people
between the age of 80 and 25. Out of 600.000 sent questionnaires, WACJ
received 525.654 replies. The questionnaire contained the following
questions and requested the following information, something we have not
done in the past.
