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

7. 7
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:

ICCT Students, Academic Year 2014-2015?
Significance of the Study

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

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

Review of Related Literature / Studies
ForeignLiterature
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 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.
