<Agenda>Why are people affected by others’ opinions?  

I bought a new vacuum cleaner recently online since the previous one was very noisy. When I bought the last one, I did not check how noisy it was. I did not use it very often since it was noisier than I thought. I wanted to buy a new vacuum clear at the store. Unfortunately, a vacuum cleaner which I wanted to buy is already discontinued. So, I could not buy and try it at the store and decided to buy the new one online at that time. Also, I had to rely on the word of mouth. I did not want to buy a bad one like the last one. So, I checked the word of mouth carefully. There were a lot of positive comments on the web pages, so I bought it online store. Now, I really enjoy using the new vacuum cleaner thanks to the word of mouth. 

I wonder why people rely on the word of mouth (including me). I know it is very useful and helpful to decide things, but there is some fake word of mouth. For example, there are some good reviews for a poor-quality goods on a web site. So, we should not trust it blindly and we should identify if it is real or fake to choose a better option.

Also, it is said that people are affected by others’ opinions like people relying on the word of mouth, parent’s opinions, mass media, and so on. To be affected by others’ opinions has both positive and negative sides. It can be useful for your life, but it sometimes can be harmful. Therefore, I would like you to think about why people are affected by others’ opinions through this topic in order for you to make a wise decision. That is why I made the material. 

1.    Do you usually check the word of mouth for restaurants/clinics/movies etc.? Why or why not?

2.    Are you affected by others’ opinions (like word of mouth for restaurants)? If so, please share your experience. If not, why you are not affected?

3.    Why are people affected by others’ opinions?

4.    Do you think it is a positive thing to be affected by others’ opinions? Why or why not?
