We will compare this age group to 36 to 45-year-olds and 46 to 60-year-olds to confirm or infirm our theory. We cannot use the data from other age groups for the conclusion of our research project because we want to compare Cegep students to the generation of their parents, but the results for the other age groups are still interesting and can help us understand the bigger picture. At question number 2…

Three Sides of Love How can a person define love? Who determines who you love?
