The examiners would look at the Explanation / analysis / argument, Use of examples and the Use of terminology. For the exams using social groups as a case study/ examples would maximise my knowledge and understanding. Using different theories such as Jenkins, Howarth, Tejfal etc… would guarantee a better grade in the exam. The definition of collective identity would be needed in the answer; collective identity – the individual’s sense of belonging to a group.
How do contemporary media represents different collective groups in different ways?
- Focus on today and young people
- Diverse representations and self representation
- Own examples from the groups you are studying
Collective identity is linked with stereotyping; therefore, linking how the media stereotypes with young people with same collective identity and you can use the London riots as an example of this.
