Media Representation Homework

Gender-






Shows that men and woman are conveyed and subjectified in different ways. Tinie Tempa is presented smartly in a suit,  standing broadly and confidently, where as, Lana Del Ray is completely naked and contracted into herself to cover her body. In this example the media has shown that men can be confident and strong compared to women who they show as weak and ashamed.













In this magazine cover the difference between gender is shown in a very clear way. The cover is quite obviously stating that the importance in each gender is divided 1:4, I think this because there are four scarcley dressed woman clinging onto the males arm.



Conclusion-
 Even though the equality in gender has progressed in time, the male gender is still being  shown as the dominant sex.



  Youth and Youth Culture-













In this one image it shows how the media in newspapers shows youth. Only negetive facts and opinions are being portrayed and they create the image that the whole youth right now are violent "yobs". The statistic "35 million yobs" is extremely high and leads to the readers endinng up stereotyping young people in that catagory.



The clothing that the characters have been placed in and the setting of this photo is suppose to make the viewer feel unsteady  or unsafe as it is usually associated with violent/troublesome teenagers. The fact they have chosen to present the t5he youth in this way shows what they want people to see the youth as overall.

Conclusion-
The  media often represents youth and youth culture in this manner, giving people the stereotpe of every young person to be "out of control" and "criminals".


Post 9/11 representation of islam-
















This photo shows the labels that have been placed on muslims post 9/11. The words that are showing  the stereotpes including "terrorist" and this is the media blantantly calling all muslims terrorists and radicalists.




 Again this photo is the media blaming islam for for the deaths at 9/11. This photo is placing the blame upon a whole gorup of people instead of the actual terrorists who was to blame.

Conclusion-
Islam and muslims were all catagorised under the title terrorist after 9/11. The media shows a biased opinion to further their own opinion.
