money on eating habits and improve good eating habits among students.

INTRODUCTION :

Parents and leaders usually forcing the college students to practice healthy eating
habits.However,they failed to identify the main factor which causes the variation in
eating habits.Actually,’Money’ is the silent killing factor which influences the eating
habits among college students.Some parents and students do agree with fact but,others
don’t.So,through my research topic I’m going to justify the fact and issue certain
effective steps to overcome the conflicts.

THESIS STATEMENT :

background will practising unhealthy eating habits.On the other end,my questionnaire
which will be distribute to students,will request for their ‘height,weight,the percentage
of interest in studies and their parents earning per month’.
APPROACH / METHODS :

To achieve the objective of this project,I propose to conduct a survey by distributing a

questionnaire to HICT students.If necessary,I will conduct an interview with lecturers
or councellors regards the topic.As my research subject related to students,mostly the
target of respondents would be HICT campus students.Later,the results collected from
the research will be tabulated and interpreted in form of graph.

IMPLICATION OF RESEARCH :

From the research,students and parents can be aware of ‘money’ which is one of the
major factor that influences the eating habits of college students.Meanwhile,they also
can identify and understand that eating habits can alter the status of a student in
academic and also in co-curriculum activities.Besides that,through my topic and
results,college students can come up with better solutions to overcome the conflict
and can help each other to eat balanced diet food.
