CHAPTER 1

The Problem and its Background

Introduction

A nightclub also known as a discothèque, dance clubs, or simply a club or disco is

an entertainment venue which usually operates late into the night. A nightclub is

generally distinguished from bars, pubs or taverns by the inclusion of a dance floor and

a DJ booth, where a DJ plays recorded music.

Night clubs are primarily made to be a safe venue for people to come in and enjoy

themselves together with their loved ones. Many young people find themselves in much

stress after a busy week and they decide to attend night clubs so as to release themselves

from the stress. Due to this, night clubs in one way or the other becomes a stress releasing

tool for most young people and that becomes a great advantage. Night clubs can either be

used by the family members to celebrate an event or have fun with father, mother and

children. What an awesome thought but most student go to the night clubs with the aim

of cerebrating well but when they enter in the club, they just find themselves imitating

what others are doing regardless of whether it is wrong or bad. We all know, the night

club is a place which causes the occurrence of social problems in society. There is a lot of

the negative impact if the students involved in the clubbing. The students will become

lazy to do their task either of group or individual assignments and as a result many

students doesn’t finished their task and they retained their focus during learning lessons,

especially if the class started early in the morning. Over time their performance declined

due to the problems of night club. This can be seen through the examination results on

6

the skills and how many subjects that they failed. As the effect, they will ashamed of

themselves and did not dare to consult with their parents or guardian. Hence we must

inculcate a positive attitude or values of the pure to ensure students are not involved in

the social problems especially in nightclubs.

Statement of the Problem

This study was conducted to determine the influence of nightclubbing to the ICCT

Students, Academic Year 2014-2015. It sought to answer the following questions:

1. What is the preferred club of the ICCT Students of Cainta, Rizal?

2. Why do students go to night clubs?

3. What are the long-term effects of going to night clubs in the study and life of

ICCT Students, Academic Year 2014-2015?

Significance of the Study

This study is beneficial to the following:

1. The students. The study would help them know the long-term effects of going to

night club and how it will affect their studies and future lives.

2. The owners of the night clubs. This study would provide them insights how their

business affects the life and studies of the students. Also this study will help them

7

become more responsible to secure that no minor or students are allowed to enter

night clubs.

3. The parents. This study will make the parents know how they can discipline their

children and how good relationship of the family will avoid the failure of

students.

Scope and Limitation of the Study

This research used descriptive methods in determining the influence of

nightclubbing to the ICCT Students of the ICCT College Cainta, Rizal, Academic Year

2014-2015. It was narrowed down to the student’s preferred clubs, the reason why they

go to night clubs and the long-term effects of nightclubbing in their studies and in their

lives. The gathering of data and other needed information was done in the ICCT College,

Cainta, Rizal.

beverages and be served food, and in most cases, where travelers receive lodging.

Chapter 2

Review of Related Literature / Studies

Foreign Literature

John Zaremba (1997) stated that nightclub is an image of a swanky ballroom

with an orchestra, perhaps a torch singer, and wealthy clientele in tuxedos and evening

gowns. In more modern times, however, the term is applied broadly to any place people

go to drink and be entertained, be it a dance club, a rock music venue, a beach bar or a

dueling-piano saloon. He also categorized nightclub into four types. These are: 1. Dance

club, a place for men and women to get together, drink, and dance to a

buffet of music including hip-hop, R&B, techno, and rock mash-ups (in

which classic rock songs are paired with modern grooves). 2. Live

Music Venue, contain a bar, a floor and a stage with a professional

sound system and it is book exclusively local talent, and some book

mainly national acts. 3. Sports-Theme Nightclub, combine drinking

and music with other recreational activities such as bowling, billiards,

and arcade or video games. 4. Comedy bar, which has two major

types; standup clubs and sketch-comedy clubs. Both are commonly

found in major cities but rarely elsewhere. Standup clubs usually

feature a series of comedians performing short sets, then a headliner

who takes the stage for a slightly longer time. Many clubs have two- or

three-drink minimum requirements. Sketch comedy clubs, such as The

Second City, host troupes of actors who put on short plays and

10

improvisational sketches, during which audience members shout out

suggestions that greatly influence the content of the performance.

Erika Duncan Bryant (2003) stated that Nightclubs are a popular destination for

many young people. Protect yourself while having a good time is important, especially in

today's world.

Andrew Kline (2003) stated that Nightclubs are a fun way for you and your

friends to spend a night out. Before you head out, however, it is a good idea to be

knowledgeable about standard nightclub regulations. These are: age requirements, proof

of I.D., crowd control, dress code and rule reinforcement.

R.L. Cultrona (2007) stated that nightclub is a great way to spend

an evening. One of the most popular activities for a night out is going

to a nightclub. At nightclubs, you can dance, meet people, have a drink

and relax. Most of the time, nightclubs are pretty easygoing places.

However, just like any culture, nightclubs have rules that dictate their

social norms. Knowing what you can and cannot do is just as important

as choosing what nightclub to visit specially the line, the dance floor

and the bar itself.
