In the limited amount of research that has been conducted, the sample was relatively small, making the survey incomprehensive. In...
Show moreIn today’s society, different age groups seem to think and behave differently. Generational differences have influenced many controversial opinions discussed today. Not much research has been conducted on these differences, but in the studies which have been conducted, it has been concluded that there are substantial differences that exist between generations. In the limited amount of research that has been conducted, the sample was relatively small, making the survey incomprehensive. In order to understand these differences and where the opinions of generations differ, we developed an online survey about people’s opinions on controversial issues debated about in modern society. We found that there are statistically significant differences between age groups and their views on social issues such as religion, sex before marriage, same sex marriage, and abortion. Our results have shown that people are beginning to move away from the more traditional values and into more liberal viewpoints.

New software technologies are rapidly changing the economy. These changes have presented problems such as job displacement, high barrier to entry, and a gender gap in the engineering communities. In order to see the views of Americans regarding the challenges of software technologies, we conducted an online survey, gathering 500 responses. In recent news stories, it has been shown that there is a gender gap in the tech industry, but the women that participated in our survey are interested in...
Show moreNew software technologies are rapidly changing the economy. These changes have presented problems such as job displacement, high barrier to entry, and a gender gap in the engineering communities. In order to see the views of Americans regarding the challenges of software technologies, we conducted an online survey, gathering 500 responses. In recent news stories, it has been shown that there is a gender gap in the tech industry, but the women that participated in our survey are interested in learning software engineering as much as men. Additionally, our research found that younger people are not only required to use software tools more frequently but are the most interested in learning how to build them. Finally, we found that a majority of people do not have any experience developing software. Our survey highlights some of the challenges of software technologies in the economy.

Show moreSocial media sites are becoming one of the biggest sources of information in the world. Particularly, political and economic news is being communicated widely on social media in real time with no costs incurred. The purpose of our research is to examine Hispanics reliance on social media for political information in the United States. Our results show that the majority of younger Hispanic voters rely on social media for their political news. In fact, over 84 percent of those who are between 18 and 34 years old are more likely to get their information from social media than any other source. Furthermore, our findings indicate that the younger Hispanic population are the most likely to find the political news on the internet trustworthy. If political campaigns want to target Hispanics, a rapidly growing demographic, they should move their attention towards social media as a major platform for their political campaigns.

As the demand for food increases, food makers must increase production; however, there comes a point when one must consider what is sacrificed for such an increase in mass production of food. Food is now evolving, preferences are varying from natural tastes to unnatural alterations due to chemical additives.

Show moreAs the demand for food increases, food makers must increase production; however, there comes a point when one must consider what is sacrificed for such an increase in mass production of food. Food is now evolving, preferences are varying from natural tastes to unnatural alterations due to chemical additives. We felt more research is needed to understand what motivates consumers to purchase varying types of foods. To understand consumers’ views on food preferences, we developed an online survey with fifteen questions and collected responses from 498 people. Our findings show a statistically significant difference between people of different gender, age, and regions regarding motivations to purchase food and food labeling. With this knowledge, we may better understand what people of different demographics feel regarding the current state of food wellness, and why they might prefer certain actions over others due to their diverse backgrounds.
