eaten, we can see from Graph 1 that, the younger age group (18-25), out of all age groups, was always less when compared to the other age groups on the graph. The females in this age group preferred to eat Italian, the males chose Turkish. The majority of the younger aged (18 and less) ate fat foods such as McDonalds or KFC. Chinese and Turkish food were the most common food eaten in the people aged from (25-35). In Graph 1 you can see that the females and males were the same when considering eating Chinese food and males were slightly more than females in eating Turkish food.I noticed that middle-aged people seemed to like trying different choices in food. The pattern I noticed with them was that Italian cuisine was most popular in the middle-aged group, followed by Chinese. The most common food eaten among all ages as seen in Graph 1 was McDonalds and KFC (this may not seem hard to believe) this was due to the fact that their food stores were larger than the rest, everyone knew their food, including the price range. DiscussionI realised that there are many factors, which can effect us when in a social setting. Sociology helped me to understand more open mindedly interesting social aspects, which effect us when engaging in certain activities. It helped me think and develop explanations by recognising patterns which have big effects on people when engaging activities such as eating.In doing this research it made me think a lot of how I am when Im choosing my food at the food court, I think that helped me a little in understanding what others choices were. If I were to do this research essay again, I would concentrate on listening to people when they are purchasing their food, walk around to the food stores and listen in, instead of sitting down all times (different area of the food court). If people noticed that I was writing about them, or they knew I was watching them, this could have caused a major problem to my findings, ...
