...part in surveys, and there is no more a solid and complete registry of natives that can be utilized to haphazardly select individuals for examination. Additionally, the quantity of surveying firms has expanded fundamentally in the course of recent years, making a "Wild, Wild West" environment for popular conclusion research because of the different sorts — and quality — of techniques used to gather information, as indicated by Andrea Perrella, chief of the Laurier Institute for the Study of Public Opinion and Policy. The surveying business is experiencing "dim days," he said. "Less individuals are noting overviews," Perrella clarified. "There is no more a solitary philosophy and even in the most precisely controlled phone surveys, reaction rates are so low we are not very beyond any doubt what those non-respondents are considering." Gone are the days when by far most of subjects had landlines and firms had solid arrangements of individuals they could arbitrarily call. Today, firms need to spend more cash to incorporate cellphone clients in telephone overviews, while different organizations assemble online boards of individuals who volunteer to be requested to answer questions on the web. Surveyors mindful of 'close to emergency's Bluff Zukin, educator of open arrangement and political science at Rutgers University, penned a commentary in the New York Times in June where he said "race surveying is in close emergency, and we surveyors know."

...President has one of the lowest approval ratings in the history of our country (Newsweek). However it is almost time for the Bush era to come to an end. With the upcoming Presidential Election, citizens pay more attention to politics, world affairs, and news shows than usual. There are many different sources of news ranging from television, newspapers, and the internet. With technology constantly changing, many young Americans turn to alternative sources for their news, and some researchers and politicians feel that this is a problem. These young Americans rely on satirical, or “fake news” shows, along with internet resources such as Youtube to get updated on current affairs, and learn about Presidential candidates. According to a survey done in 2004, Warner found that 50% of Americans between the ages of 18-29 get at least some of their news from shows like the Daily Show or the Colbert Report. This is a dramatic change compared to the 2000 research which showed that only 9% watched these programs. These “fake news” programs are shows such as, Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with John Stewart, and The Colbert Report. We investigated whether or not satirical news shows can actually influence a voter’s opinion about a political candidate. Satire: a working definition Satire is when a person makes fun of or ridicules actual fact based information in a way that can influence the opinion and attitudes of the audience.

...Research Study Objective The primary purpose of this study is to measure the consumption preferences among college students. We created two categories of purchases for this comparative study: material goods purchases and life experience purchases. The study aims to gather information on which category of discretionary spending is preferred among college students. The findings of the study can be used by many different parties. However, our goal is to be able to create valuable information for companies that want to market their products and services to college students in the Austin area. The research will hopefully benefit these companies as well as their customers (college students) by catering towards the needs of both parties when it comes to consumption trends. Since this is a comparative research study, we did not hold any explicit hypothesis for any sort of specific outcome. However, there has been previous studies and research that have concluded that there is a preference for experiential purchases over material purchases among different samples of the population. These studies have concluded that the main reason behind these findings is that people tend to feel happier from their life experience purchases rather than material goods purchases. They conclude that an experience can create long lasting happiness as opposed to a material good that tends to result in shrinking happiness as time goes by. Another reason is that material goods tend to diminish a person’s...

... Exercise can be defined as any physical activity that has the capability of enhancing or maintaining an individual’s overall health and well-being. Therefore, understanding the way we feel about our bodies, health and well-being has a huge output on the way we live. The way people carry themselves and function mentally highly determines the decisions they make in life. Unlike many things in life this is not one concept that is easy to comprehend because the details of motivation vary for each individual. In this study, we deeply untangle the reason behind why people exercise. We conducted a survey of 105 participants whom took a 4 point scale survey. From strongly agree to strongly disagree we then had many limitations that occurred in our study. From our findings we can predict that health and exercise are predictors of image.
