Planning an Exam Question

To what extent does your case study text represent your chosen collective identity in a positive way?

Introduction: Mention Britishness - some examples of case studies - say about the past, reflective and contemporary case studies. Family, gender, age and class.

Paragraph1: Past British movies and programs (corrie 1970's and Alfie) - use theorist. corrie (man in the navy talking to is old lady friend - this is positive as he is not rude to her but still is above her as he calls the shots and says when they should meet, so this is a true representation of England at that time) Alfie (the way he treats the different girls from different classes - this shows a negative side of Britain) Use the theorist Althusser.


Paragraph2: Reflective British movies and programs (An education and Upstairs downstairs) - use theorist

Paragraph3: Contemporary British movies and programs (kidluthood, Inbetweeners and Fish Tank) - use theorist.

Conclusion: say over all opinion on where the media represent Britishness in a negative or postive way, give brief examples, state your point of argument and a final summary.
