*Hypothesis:
-Are students really responsible for their incidents on the field? Some would say yes but I disagree with that statement because students perform with the equipment that they are issued. The schools should be responsible because they need to take the time to have the equipment inspected or even buy new equipment. Many people would voice their opinion differently from me because they would think that it would cut into the schools' budgets, so that is why they should allocate money for new equipment. Students perform at high levels to compete with other athletes for their schools athletic events but it seems as if their efforts are sometimes not appreciated. Many students suffer from concussions due to high impact blows to the head mainly because of unreliable sporting equipment.
*Context:
-While gathering my information, I didn’t really have a target audience. I tried to get a balanced amount of male and female opinions on my topic because I wanted to get different views. I think that the information that I gathered was valid because it was a mixture of people.

*Data Analysis:
-After analyzing my data I noticed that most girls chose Nike as a company that distributes the safest and most durable equipment. I think that the girls answered this survey question more precisely. I had more girls answer this question correctly than the boys. I don’t think that the girls really knew this one because Nike is a very well known sportswear company. Many of the boys answered this question by checking the Under Armor blank simply because it usually costs more money and many famous players wear this brand. Everyone wants to wear this item as well. Nike has the overall safest and most durable equipment that’s on the market when competing with other top sports companies.
- The most common trend that I found in my data was that most of the respondents believed that this topic is a problem all over the United States because statistics show that the rate of concussions due to sports has increased.I think that the drive to compete and win can cause children and adolescents to become injured(any head injuries). The main focus for students' safety has been pointed primarily at high school students. Many people shy away from the younger students because they don't feel that they are much to worry about. But recently there has been a huge increase in concussions to younger children.
-Due to my lack of information from my respondents, I wasn’t able to get as accurate survey answers because I left out some key questions. The main questions that I left out were “What is your gender? What is your age?" I feel that if I included these questions in my survey then the information that I received from the respondents would have been more accurate. I would have had a better conclusion about the different views that various people have towards my topic.
*Conclusion:
-Reflecting back on my hypothesis, I was correct about students not being well protected by some equipment not only because of lack of funds but also due to lack of importance in schools. If schools take this topic more seriously, then students wouldn’t have to worry about life changing injuries.
*Section Six:
From this point I want to go farther and show the public the different disasters that sports related injuries can cause; and how important it is to be monitored for concussions and injuries of that nature to the head because these injuries are being found more often in a younger generation. My most essential research question that should be researched is “Should new sports equipment be bought every few years to help ensure the safety of students.” From all of my research I don’t plan to change my research topic. But I have thought about doing so because it is hard for me to find strong points in my research.
