Homework Essay Title :
By Friday 28th March - Write the introduction and a detailed plan that you could discuss in the lesson. Essay to be written in full by Mon 30th March.
What are the social implications of different media representations of groups of people?
What
is the significance on society when different media construct
the Welsh
in different
ways?
This links in with Q.1 Think about who
consumes the media texts we have studied e.g. the audience of the films. What
do they do with it? Do they use the texts to help form their own identity and
become part of that collective group. Or, if outside the ‘collective group’, do
they use it to form their own opinions of that collective group?
Look back over the articles you were given on stereotyping the Welsh.
How have the Welsh as a ‘collective group’ been stereotyped by the media?
How does the collective identity of the Welsh help us to feel 'Welsh' and if not Welsh how does it inform others opinions of the Welsh ?
Consider these questions and using at least one quotation from a theorist, write an introduction that would be suitable for this essay.
