I Prefer…… (REBECCA)

COLLECTIVE MEDIA CONSUMPTION is where a group of people are able to enjoy different types of media, such as a group of people going to the cinema or going out and socialising with one another. I prefer this type of consumption because it allows people to interact and socialise with other people, and sometimes people they may not know that well. It also allows people to share their interests with other people. It allows connectivity between a group of friends.

There are some negative impacts of collective media consumption, otherwise known as group consumption, such as being to reliant on others to make decisions on what to do when the group is together. Another negative impact would be that there can be arguments or disagreements within the group itself which can lead to people falling out with each other. Privacy is another thing people can be a bit fussy about because some individuals may not trust others having their personal details.

I believe that Solo media consumption is better for some people because it allows them to relieve stress from being around others that may have been bad company to them. But I don't believe it is better than Collective media consumption because of the one thing that can affect anyone so easily, an thats loneliness.
