Interaction-Interview

For my live interaction/ interview, I spent part of my day at CosmopoliTAN and interviewed several people. I asked them questions about tanning and their thoughts on skin cancer. All of them said that they had not had skin cancer but had thought about their risk, however one said, “I am a little afraid of my skin cancer risk, but I feel like it won’t happen to me.” When I asked them if they thought they were addicted the majority of them said they thought they were because of the “glow” that they received after tanning. I also asked them if they had noticed any change of their skin since they began tanning and they said that, “I am tanner.” The main thing is that none of them are afraid of skin cancer and that is the biggest problem that I have found from my research.
From this experience I learned that people who tan are not worried about skin cancer. They all know about it but the majorities think they are invincible when it comes to their risk. I liked the facility and the people were very nice. However, I wish I could have been able to tan and do the interaction and interview that I wanted to do but this will suffice for me because of my procrastination. I enjoyed being there and learning about people’s thoughts when it came to tanning and skin cancer.
