Impact on social life (2)

However, there are also a number of disadvantages related with entertainment and leisure, and how it impacts social lives. These have been addressed below.
  • Times are not completely flexible so people can’t always accompany friends to cinemas or music festivals
              - Friends might want to go out to the cinema on a certain day because they are not free ant other days. You however, may not be free on the day which they want to go out. This causes problems as people cannot always accompany friends to places such as the cinema as times are fixed and non-negotiable. 
  • People may feel forced to stay up to date with technologies such as consoles in attempt to not fall behind with trends
              - People, mainly teenagers, may end up spending a great amount of their well-earned money on new consoles and games because it’s what those in their social circles have, and so by having the same as the rest, they won’t stick out like loose threads.
