Post colonialism
Race and ethnicity represented in the two text.

Text One - Olympics
Aldorov theory - racial representation which could be put into exotic shown through music
Negative representation is shown through
Worldwide
Can be accesses through Social networking and other websites e.g. YouTube
We see different ethnicity coming together and celebrating the Olympics


Text two - Article
Positive representation
Article is shown as really pitied and dangerous as in the modern society we don't find educated
white middle aged mother and a black farther living together seen as stereotypical
Links to Fran Janon's theory and shows that the meddle class
are putting on masks as they are a family living together and the two young daughters are going out
in the night partying which doesn't seem suitable

  1. WWW: There are some good point hidden away in here and you've attempted to bring in some theory, but...
    EBI: FAR too many basic errors here. By Aldorov I'm assuming you mean Alvarado (confused with Todorov?) and Fran Janon = Frantz Fanon. You can't make errors like this in coursework or exam situations - it will send a very negative message to whoever is marking it. You also need to check your work carefully - you say the article is a positive representation. Are you sure? Positive about what?
    LR: Look again at the Daily Mail article. How does it represent black middle class people and what theories does it challenge/reinforce?
