Advertising: Gauntlett & Masculinity

David Gauntlett: academic reading 1) What examples does Gauntlett provide of the "decline of tradition"? Today the traditional view of a woman as a housewife or low-status worker have been kick-boxed out of the picture by the emphasis that women are successful, independent and powerful. Meanwhile the masculine ideologies of toughness, stubborn self-reliance and emotional silence have taken a new form of emphasis on men's emotions, need for advice and the problems of masculinity.  2) How does Gauntlett suggest the media influences the way we construct our own identities?

MIGRAIN Assessment 3- Learner Response

1) Type up your feedback in  full  (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep this confidential). WWW: Q1 is a strong answer showing good analysis and knowledge of terminology.

This is then explicitly  reinforced in the text

OSP: The Voice CSP

Language and contexts Homepage Go to  the Voice homepage  and answer the following: 1) What news website key conventions can you find on the Voice homepage? -Images -Date -Menu bar -Subscribe button -Search bar -Social media links  2) What are some of the items in the top menu bar and what does this tell you about the content, values and ideologies of the Voice? The items on the top menu bar are News, Sport, Lifestyle, Entertainment, Competitions, Opinion and Faith. This tells us that the Voice wants to include Black talent and coverage in all the different topics surrounding news coverage. The fact that Sport is second in the menu bar suggests that possibly this is a key area Black people are under represented in and the Voice wants to give them a platform to share their accomplishments.  3) Look at the news stories on the Voice homepage. Pick  two  stories and explain why they might appeal to the Voice's target audience.  - Christmas magic: Mum creates African inspired princess d
