The result from the video testing 2

At the first start of my thesis, I am interested in finding out how much ethics, morals and honesty people have nowadays. Do children and teenagers think they are important? They are going to be human resource for our world in the future. So I think it is important for them to learn about ethics and morals that will help them realize to do good things. So, our world will be peaceful.

Then there are many things come out from my mind about ethic and moral. From my opinion I think nowadays people have less ethic and moral. They do the thing just to get their good benefit by do not care how to get it or why they should get it. After I did the survey and let a few people watch my video. I found that

1. From my opinion before I did the survey I think people have less ethic and moral they would do the thing for their own benefit and after the pre survey I see that people have less ethic and moral especially they do the thing for their good benefit and sometimes ignore the public interest.
2. From the first result there are something that surprised me because base on my opinion although people have less ethic and moral but I do not think they would do the think by do not think about if it is true or fault, good or bad, legal or illegal. For example from the survey some of them choose to get some of money from the money that their parents asked to give it to their sister or brother because they thing it just a little thing they do not take all of the money they just took some or they choose to look around their friend’s answer while they are taking an exam and they could not do it by themselves. Even that are not the serious situation but I think we should not do it.
3. After I showed the video I found that the video helped people changed their mind or their behavior, they think more about the public interest. It is the good thing that my video reaches the goal and it tells that the mass media is one of the most effective ways to communicate with people.

Lastly, If I have a chance I would get more people to take my survey maybe about 100 people or more to make my thesis more reliable. I am proud that my thesis is worth and useful. I hope ideally, this video will promote the prevalence of moral and ethical behavior amongst people.

Thank you for my advisor Ravi Jain, my family, my actors and my friends for advices and comments.

N= Population Size

X= The mean, Center, Average score

S= Standard deviation

Problems encountered and how to resolve.
1. The technical problem from the video file. I could not export my file to the video editing program because I was using the Windows Movie Maker program and the raw file was VOB. So, I used the video converter to change the file from VOB to WMV.

2.It was hard to find school and students who would like to take volunteers for the survey. So, I used the blog to solve this problem
