Classes


       In this article teenagers and young adults are being represented in a very negative way. This is the underclass, people who are unemployed or career criminals, these people are rioting, and destroying things around them. The main focus of the picture is the boy in the black hoodie, and he even seems to be carrying a sword. You can tell the that it is a bad representation because it even says 'Feral underclass'




This man is most likely a underclass man. Although he is wearing the pinstripe suit, he is unemployed and has live in a council house for 33 years, so he doesn't pay rent. He has hoarded so much rubbish and lives in it. He sleeps anywhere around his house from other pictures that I have seen, he does leave the house as well but not very often.




This is from 'Everybody Loves Raymond'. On this clip the man is being represented as a very clumsy man, setting fire to his house. He is on his own in this scene, in a way saying that he is unable to cope on his own without any help from anyone, most likely getting that he needs the help of a woman, and so this is a negative representation of men in general, maybe he was doing something else as well as cooking, which would play on the stereotype that men cannot multitask.




This movie clip is from the Inbetweeners movie. It gives a bit of a negative representation of young adults, because they are trying to get girls, as if its the only thing that lads their age do. It also says that some people will do anything to get a girl, or a lad. This is kind of true but only to a certain extent, not everyone does what these boys do in this movie and so it is unfair that they represent teenage lads of their age.


For race in television shows/films black people are usually the first to die, this is seen as a funny thing to happen to them, this is a negative representation of black people and is quite unfair towards them. They have the mick taken out of them in a lot television shows and films.



The film, the Lion King represents sexuality. Scar is seen to have many homosexual traits during the film, in the way he acts and his how he is represented against his brother Mufasa and it shows a negative representation of them when Scar takes control of the pride. When he does, the land around becomes filled with drought, the food disappears, and the lionesses do not respect him and don't treat him as one of the pride members. This can be seen as a homosexuals inability to reproduce. When Mufasa was king the land was all green and the animals were happy. And when Scar dies at the end of the film, it starts raining, extinguishing the fire and making everything green again, this can be seen as the heterosexual triumph over homosexuals.
