The Chi-square Test was used to determine the relationship between variables and to test the hypothesis. It was found from the study that most people will go to vote whenever they had a chance. Results also showed that most people do not think that immigrants should not have the right to vote. Most people thought that women should be involved in positions of leadership such as being an administrator in education institute or private company. Moreover, samples in the study noted that they never experienced social discrimination in terms of being rejected by a bank or other financial institutions.
