Internet Dating Survey

Introduction
Is internet dating safe? Do you think it is a good way to find your spouse? Internet dating websites got popular among many people. We hear a lot of stories from people around talking about successful relationships started through internet dating websites and other failed relationships. However, the way using internet dating has many features that encourage people to go for it. Consequently, visitors of those websites are young and old people, also both gender male and female. On the other hand, there are many risks surrounding this advanced way. According to Janine, “Internet dating made it easy for people to reach thousands of potential partners for casual sex or relationships” (2006, para7). This is a main reason to push people to use it because of easiness and cheapness. Although good aspects of internet dating, it is not safe enough to trust everyone who meets us. According to Weiss and Houghton, “Beware of people in existing relationships using internet dating to present themselves as single and available.”(2007,para11). That means that we should not trust people on internet dating websites. However, it is not bad way, but it is still not the best way to build our relationships.

2. Purpose
My group Johnny, Lalida, Botian, and I figured out what people think about using internet dating for building their relationships. We wanted to find out the relationship between the gender and trust in internet dating. Also, we wanted to know the relationship between the age and using internet dating. Furthermore, we wanted to know people’s knowledge about internet dating.

3. Hypotheses
I have three hypotheses about internet dating. First, I believe that old people using internet dating more than young people. Second, I believe that females are worried about using internet dating to get a good relationship more than males. Third, I believe that internet dating unable to provide serious relationships

4. Methods and Procedures
Our group asked 30 people who are American people but they different genders and ages in Carbondale to get different opinions. Each member of our group take 10 pages to get the answers about our survey to make the work easy and every one of us has different hypothesis. Also, we focused on old and young people to get real answers about our survey (see Appendix 1) which has 10 questions. We prepared our survey questions as multiple choice questions and yos/no. However, our survey was easy for respondents to answer the questions.

5. Results
According to our survey, people who their ages between 26 and 35 using internet dating services. Our survey showed that 66.7% do not use internet dating services. On the other hand, it showed also that 70% of males use internet dating more than females. In addition, there is 83.3% do not trust in profiles of people who use internet dating. Also, 96.7% think that a company that provide internet dating should verify of its members’ profiles. However, almost half of responds (47%) believe that internet dating is a good way to built a good relationship or to get a spouse.

6. Conclusion and discussion
I thought that old people using internet dating more than young people but the result of our survey came with that 26 to 35 using internet dating more than old people, I think that that is because young people use internet more than old people or because young people got interested in internet dating as kind of adventure. I also believed that females are more worried to get a god relationship than males, that was true because the result of our survey showed that 83.3% do not trust in internet dating, that means that most users of internet dating are worried about people who use internet dating. In addition, I believed that internet dating unable to provide a serious relationship, but the result of our survey showed than (47%) believe that internet dating is a good way to build a good relationship or to get a spouse which means that my opinion about this factor was not true.
If I can do this survey again, I would like to do it at large society who at least use internet much time to make sure that respondents are practice the issue that I will do next survey about; besides I will ask more respondents than this time to get high quality results. Also, I will do more surveys to increase the factor of credibility.

The important thing in our life is technology. The entire world tries to advance with technology; there are many things technologists do, that if we don’t have maybe we can’t advance our life and country. I’ll start with my country. 60 years ago they didn’t have any kind of technology in some parts of my country they didn’t have electrically ether. It was a very difficult life. So, now Saudi Arabia is totally changed by the technology. Also, technology changed the rules of the country too. For example, we weren’t having any kind of technology like cameras, DVD or color television. So when the technology came to Saudi Arabia all things changed. The advances are continuing in my country; at this time we can see that each house has three or four TV, DVDs and cameras some families have many electric things; all these things are by technology. No body in this time can live without technology, because technology now is part of our life. Technology can make our life easy and comfortable.

Abdullah Al Mutrif
EAP1

According to the article on July 18, 1997, from Correspondent Kyoko Altman, “Road Rage runs rampant in high stress U.S society,” many people die in traffic accidents because of stress. In 1997 in the U.S.A. the number of death started to climbed; in that time there are people who had a malady called “road rage”. As NHTSA said there are more than “41,000 died in traffic accidents”. This subject in this article is about road rage; people made big mistakes on the road. All the victims in the article suffered because, people who drive crazy therefore, they have too much stress from job and life.
There is many ways to remove stress to get few traffic accidents. First, workers should arrange their work or what they will do, because work is gives workers so much stress if they do not accept it. Usually, if the employee is not happy with his or her work they will be under stress all the time. Thus, employees should find work that keeps them happy to avoid stress.
Second, besides the stress any one could have from normal life activities, the other place people easily get stress is when they drive their cars in traffic jams, moreover, public transportations is safer than cars. In addition, public transportations, such as trains and buses are faster than cars. As a result, people who have that kind of stressor need to use public transportation instead of using cars to avoid accidents they might cause.
Third, people look for bin relive when they get sick. However, if they are looking for stress relief they should think about exercise. Exercises are the best way to be stress free. Experts claim that walking for 10 minutes will keep you out of stress. In addition, relaxation is a very important factor in stress. Taking a break during work or going in vacation on weekends will help a lot to stop stressors.
In conclusion, life is full of stressors at home; work, the street and waiting in line to buy a cup of coffee could be stressors. If we don’t find the way to be out of stress our life will be difficult to deal with. Being happy with the job, doing exercises and using public transportation, all those ways together the will help us to have a good life without stress.
