Better to put all the media queries in each selector instead of creating the them once and duplicating the selectors?

Using sass, is it better to put all the media queries in each selector instead of creating the media queries once and duplicating all of the selectors?

I think not, because if you want to change a media query from max-width:480px to let's say max-width:500px, you have to go through each and every element to implement this change. If you keep the media queries as containers with all the subjective elements in it, it's better to maintain and easier to change if necessary.

What if you assigned your media query widths to variables that were defined at the top of the document? Would that make it acceptable?
