 Introduction

Religion is one of the primary factors that can shape a child’s life and has a

significant impact on their social development. Religion affects

relationships, one’s overall behavior, culture, health, crime rates, education,

employment, etc. Religion plays an important role in society. Society can

only progress if the actions of its citizens are based on pristine and timeless

values of love, peace, truth, righteousness, non-violence, honesty, and

dedication to duty. All Religions foster high moral and spiritual values

which redound to the benefit of society.

 Statement of Problem

Are teenagers in Cassada Gardens, St. John, Antigua,

turning away from religion?

 Reasons For Selecting the Area of Research

I selected this area of research to investigate recent trends in

society and to observe the behavioral patterns of teenagers.

 Method of Investigation

To obtain the relevant information for this School-Based

Assessment, printed questionnaires were utilized. This is because:

 Questionnaires are inexpensive

 Questionnaires can be completed at the convenience of the

respondent

 Guarantees anonymity

 Open Ended & Close Ended Question types may both be

used

 No Time Constraints
