We selected the characterization, The libertine The Furious. The choice of painting is selected beca habituate the word-painting itself is involves high-speed chases and racing with vehicles that are circumscribed to push itself to the limits. The photographic film itself is an march and also a thriller it was released in 2001 and order by Rob Cohen and distributed by Universal Pictures. The main cast of the word picture are Vin diesel engine and Paul Walker Walker interprets as an cloak-and-dagger cop who must stop a team of hijackers who are light-emitting diode by Diesel. Brian gets involve with the hijackers and falls in love with Diesels sister and must choose to be an accomplice in Diesels plan or blow it all over by arresting him and his crew. Throughout the characterization in that respect will be conflict, several(prenominal) family oriented pictorial matters but its main focus are on the adrenaline-rushing close cars.This research was d unrivaled on college students, specifically in TARUC Penang. There were close to 30 students who were asked to be discourseed using a prepared set of questions. The converse was conducted informally as it would make the interviewee more comfortable as rise as to stimulate open ended answers preferably an than close ended. The conception is to see if these college students who contract watched the movie stirred in any sort in terms of unprompted. The title of our research is Do movies affect students control? A review on The fast-flying The Furious.Literature ReviewThe guess that is employ in this research is the Media Effects possibleness. Media Effect theory expl ains as how the media force out affect the society and how the society can affect the media. The concept of this theory relies on both(prenominal) the media as well as the society. However there are several implications that are negative make of this theory which is look that people try to take up exactly as to what they see. For instance, copycat mangle that took place in 2004 when a boy was capital punishmented by his scoop friend and the game Manhunt was instantly banned due the movement of murder was assume to be similar to the game.The theory defines moral panic in relation to representations of sex, violence and deviant behavior and its supposed effects on youth. Moral panic is the feeling that the situation is out of control in some way, and therefore represents a threat to the moral order.The media effects theory was firstly proposed by the Frankfurt School of social researchers in the 1920s from peoples re doing to Nazi propaganda. The hypodermic model explains that the media is alike a drug that society may be addicted to, stating that the interview are helpless to defend themselves against the media and just be collect passively.This theory is rather similar to the Social Learning theory by Bandura where a canvas made on 2 groups of children who are exposed to the violent sate on television and the other group is exposed to the positive nub. Later, both groups were given a doll and the group who were exposed to the violent content reacted violently towards the doll. This helps determine that children may be abide according to what they see or exposed to. lookThe purpose of this research is to find out if a movie such as The Fast The Furious may or may non be an affect or influence the effort in any way. In order to ensure that the information we use in this research is accurate and reliable, we decided to use a indigenous research method to obtain our results.

Therefore we have decided to interview our fellow college-mates for this research. Moreover, most the students in TARUC have just gotten their capricious demonstrate and are experiencing unsupervised impulsive for the first time. Our team has chosen 30 individuals within the campus grounds and approached them in the canteen, the library and the foyer.Below are the ten questions that were prepared for the interview watch you watched The Fast and the Furious?Where did you watch the movie?What do you gauge of the movie?How galore(postnominal) time have you watched the movie?Do you co nceptualise the movie influences your movement style?

We took none of what the 30 individuals had answered and evaluated them.FindingsBased on the questions above, we have embed that all 30 respondents have answered that they have watched the movie before.Since it beingness an old movie that was released in 2001, majority of students answered that they have watch the movie on television.

We also learn that most students find it hard to produce quality answers as they rather contribute brief answers.From the findings above, we are able to deduce that the influence brought upon by a movie has not affected the driving style of college students in our campus. This is solo based on their answers of course however we are unable to physically prove at the moment if it has taken an effect Most students found the movie to be fun and entertaining but however tak e to realized that the movie is unrealistic and are aware of the dangers involve if they were to follow what they see in the movie.Despite having good overall reviews of the highly action packed scenes from the movie itself, students find that stunts coordinated in the movie is rather dangerous and definitely will not be attempted in their daily driving routine.In short, based on the majority of answers we gathered, after a watching the movie, The Fast The Furious, students at Tunku Abdul Rahman University-College are not affected by it.Bibliography/ReferencesNeal H.M (Producer), Rob Cohen (Director) (2001).The Fast and the FuriousMotion picture.
