Reception theory
Reception theory is a theory introduced by Stuart Hall in 1973. He stated that people are part of certain social groups due to things they see in the media.
For example if there was a football match on tv the next day there will be a group of people talking about the events of the match. In the same way if there was a major event in a soap a different social group will talk about that event.
