Representations and Stereotypes on: AGE  How are young people and older people represented in the media? This newspaper on the left shows how young people are represented in the media. This newspaper was taken during the events of the London riots that took place on the 6 th -10 th August 2011. I think is this a good example to show how young people are seen in the media and how it represents who they are. The younger generation is represented negatively in media texts more which can cause controversy. This newspaper shows that during the London riots, young people of all gender, race, ethnicity, background etc the print media were more dominant of showing them as dangerous and hostile people. This can also link to stereotypes such as those who may wear a tracksuit with a hoodie, their associated with knives, drugs and crime and many more. Also, it gives the impression to people that they should stay away from them. However it can be argued...

Analysis of the representations of ethnicity in moving images and print media.    Looking closely at print media, there has been an ethnic representation. Starting off with the name Asian Women straight away identifies which cultures and ethnics it will be about. For example the model is shown wearing a stereotypical Asian clothing, it also follows the cultural featuring a modest young female who doesn’t show much skin unlike other magazine covers which have girls underdressed. She shows the empowering female which us shown through the way she is posing, some maybe see it as an sexual way however I would highly think that the purpose of the pose was to show another cultural feature which is their traditional henna patterns. The main aim would be for women who can relate and agree to what is mentioned on the magazine cover. Moving onto the model herself, she in fact is a famous figure who can be seen as very successful in what she does and in her life.  ...

  Advert research 1) Slogans recently advertised: 1) Mac Donald's- "I'm loving it" 2) Tesco- "Every Little Helps" 3) L'Oreal- "Because you're worth it" 4) Typhoo- "You only get an 'OO' with Typhoo" 5) Skittles- "Taste the Rainbow" 2) Which advertisers have used shock tactics lately and why are they shocking? An Irish company tries to aware the audience about how important road safety is. However this is portrayed by using small children on an school trip, all in one place having a picnic but then crushed by an car who in result was speeding. Although this advert is a shock to watch It's said that the only way drivers would listen and get the importance of road safety was to show children dying. It would impact mainly those who are parents as it would devastate them seeing a child die as they could relate it to their child. Also it tries to highlight that children have died due to spee...

Save the children  http://www.savethechildren.org.uk Save the children is an organisation which strongly believes that every child deserves a future. They ensure that children have a healthy start in life, an opportunity to learn and protection from any harm. They said that "we helped 22.1 million children through our work in 2016" they also focus on 7 aspects which they cover such as: emergencies, education, child poverty, health, hunger, child protection and children's rights. They have an Emergency Fund which allows anyone who would like to give a donation which goes towards helping students up special groups for children, transportation of supplies and trained colleges who travel to help those in need. This would mainly be aimed at adults who have an earning but most importantly I think as the advert and organisation is mainly about children, it's target audience can also be to parents as it would be thought that they would understand there struggles...

Representations and stereotypes of women and men in the media This essay will consist of stereotypes and representations of both males and females in the media. It will also show where examples of where these have been used for example the Robin Thicke - blurred lines and the Asda's Christmas TV advert shows a clear understanding of many examples. Focusing more on representations of men I will be looking at examples like the car advert and the inbetweeners movie clip. Most of the time the stereotypes women are that they are often represented as sex objects in other words having no type of agency and that they are to please men and then to be disposed afterwards. An good example where women are used by men is the music video by Robin Thicke - Blurred lines. It clearly shows younger women who are given no words to say but only being silent which the iconography of an mask worn conveys the silence becoming more frequently used which the lyrics " Always works for me ...
