Hypothesis:

            In today’s world, many people are straying away for their religion.  Only so many people realize what is in there “rules” and “regulations”.  Most religions have to do with the dragon, and no one really knows about the dragon.  The dragon is a serpent of the ground and air and is known as an evil character in Christianity and Judaism.  Many people today are not informed about this.  So what exactly does the dragon have to do with everyone’s religion?  It is talked about in most of the books people go to church with, and some of them do not even know it.  Most religions either shun the dragon or they worship the dragon.  My hypothesis is that many of today’s kids and parents do not have the same religion and are also not informed about how the dragon and their religion are related.  This may show that not many people are devoted to their religion.  

Context:

            Most of my target audience was teens in high school ages 14 – 18.  This helped me to find out how many teens are actually informed about their religion.  This can also help me learn how the world is changing due to people in today’s society.  This causes people to change and not want to go with what their parents tell them, but go with what their friends tell them or what others tell them.  This can also mean that some of them are sheltered, or someone does not want them to know the truth in the matter.  They also do not realize what they know and do not know.

None of the boys knew about the dragon and how if falls in their religion. Only three girls knew abbot the dragon and how it related to their religion.

Data Analysis:

            Most of the people agreed that the biggest religion in the world in Christianity.  This is not the correct answer to this question.  The correct answer to this question is actually Islam.  Although people may think that Christianity is the biggest in the United States, this question asked which one was the biggest in the world.  Many people would not agree, but according to the 2011 Census, that is correct.  Another trait that I realized people chose the most for was if your parents and they share the same religion.  Many of them did not, and it was almost equally the same.  Many people in the school get their religions from someone outside of school other than their parents.  This is because they can be proven wrong, or they just do not want to agree with their parents.  One last occurrence that I noticed was that no one knew what the dragon had to do with their religion.  This was shocking to me.  It even says in many religions what the dragon has to do with their religion.  This also shows that many people do not know that much about their religion.     

Conclusion:

            What I found in my research is that many people did not know what a dragon what and how it affiliated with their religion.  This shows that many of the kids today do not know much about their religion.  They are either not informed about it, or they have refused to learn about it.  My hypothesis was correct because people were not devoted to their religion.  This shows that people have no morals and they need to connect more to their religion.  This was because they did not know that much about religion, and they did not know that there was a dragon in it.  I thought that some of the people took my survey would actually know A little about their religion, but they did not.  Some people who go to church every day could not even explain to me what they were learning, and they could not comprehend what I was asking them. 

Follow Up:

            What I want to continue is to find out about all of the different religions.  I want to see how many religions actually compare the dragon to something more vauge.  The question that I would like to work on next is; “How do different religions view the dragon?”  I have not changed any of my questions because these questions cannot be found with research alone.  It takes time to do this, and many of the questions have to be found through my survey questions.  I think that books and research from a religious professor will help out with the next section.  This will help me by finding out what people know about their religion and what they do not know.
