Recommendation The research has been restricted due to few problems that are unavoidable. The major difficulties the researcher faced during conducting the research is time constraint. The researcher was provided with only two month to complete the research. It is not enough time to conduct a research in that short period time. So, more time should be given in order to conduct the research effectively.

Method used in obtaining research data also gives substantial impact to research outcome. Questionnaire contributing is the easiest and fastest way to get information from research sample. This method can be improved by having more questions to get in depth survey for the research topic
