In this research,we use a quantitative approach to administer the survey,which consistsof standard questionnaires with choices for the participants.In order to get more information,specifics,and the respondent's observation of his thoughts on the matter,with some few moreopen-ended questions.The benefit of the quantitative approach is that data and surveyfindings are simpler to measure and comprehend.We have a better exposure advantage for alarge number of respondents through surveys as many resources might take time,this methoduse up less time than in-person conversations.Additionally,it gives the respondent adequatetime for the conversation.This is a moderate method of gathering data.
