Interviews and focus groups are consumer orientated as they generate different opinions on a particular subject, giving a critical overview of an advertisement. An interview ‘is an in-depth understanding of a topic that the research informant is able to speak about’ (Belk 2013).
Entertainment has changed tremendously since the 1990's. A few of these changes are positive and beneficial, but I think too many of these changes are negative and harmful, especially to our children, the easily influenced, and those who are disconnected.

Before I researched this theme, I predicted that yes the fool does help King Lear to see clearly. The Fool is Lear's own stand-up comedian, but more interestingly, he's the only person that Lear allows to criticize him.
