As detailed as it may seems, we can break the elements into individual to start understanding what human perceive. The challenge here is to simplify the information. One way to learn about it is through focus group study. involves organised discussion with a selected group of individuals to gain information about their views and experiences of a topic. Focus group interviewing is particularly suited for obtaining several perspectives about the same topic.The benefits of focus group research include gaining insights into people’s shared understandings of everyday life and the ways in which individuals are influenced by others in a group situation.Problems arise when attempting to identify the individual view from the group view, as well as in the practical arrangements for conducting focus groups.
