(Question 1)
It seemed like they were asking different questions to different people in the various areas. (This may be because we only watched clips...) It would also have been nice if they had thrown in a little history of where all these accents came from or when then first came up.
(Question 2)
Obviously there are some groups that aren't represented at all, but it would be impossible to represent EVERYONE. I did realize that the documentary seemed to seek out the 'extreme' accents, like kentucky, texas, and northestern. However, then seemed to graze over those who had only a slight accent.
(Question 3)
Language is VERY important to how we judge others. It's probably one of the first impressions that we get of a person; even before we interact with them we have already made some assumptions about them based on how they talk to other people.
