One of the key principles underpinning the A Level Media Studies course is the concept of representation and the role the media plays in shaping our understanding of the world. Media theorist David Gauntlett argues that:
"Popular media has a significant but not entirely straightforward relationship with people's sense of gender and identity." ('Media, Gender and Identity', 2002)
Essay title: Discuss the role the media plays in shaping our views and opinions on any one group in our society. Is this representation positive or negative?
(e.g.
specific groups within gender, age, disability, regional identity, ethnicity,
sexuality, class/status etc.)
