How far does the representation of a particular social group change over time?

How far does the representation of a particular social group change over time?

A key scene from 'Alfie' which represents gender from the 60's is when Alfie shouts at Gilda for asking him when he will be home. This ties in with Marcuse's theory as we readily accept the ideology that women were treated as second class citizens. Marcuse's theory says that when an audience is told something so many times they will come to believe that it is true and become a passive audience, accepting an ideology of something that they may have no experience in. In the 'Inbetweeners' we can see that the gender roles have switched round some what, as the females seem to have more control over the males. a scene backing this point up is when Jay tries to hit on the university girl and she rejects him very harshly and he has no say in what she does or the situation. 


  - Example
  - Terminology  




Need to put in some analysis in because it just says an example and good terminology, apart from this it is a well detailed and structured paragraph.
