My media consumption

NEWSPAPERS:

The last film i watched was Venom. Skins is my favourite series. I spend around 3-5 hours on my phone; i know that this is way too much.

Everyone is able to understand them because the image or word clearly implies that its about a specific topic or object.

Gender, Identity and Advertising

1) Gauntlett suggests that the "mass media is a force for change." This links with 'That Boss Life' by Maybelline as they use a man who uses makeup in the advert. Traditionally, people wouldn't usually associate men with makeup; stereo-typically, only women wore makeup. The advert subverts the traditional views. 2) Gauntlett suggests that "television programmes, pop songs, adverts, movies and the internet provide numerous kinds of 'guidance'" therefore, "we lap up this material because the social construction of identity today is the knowing social construction of identity." This means that we listen to the 'guidance' that is given to us through the media which changes the way that we our, forming our identities. 3) Both CSPs reflect the idea that "the twentieth century are less tolerant of homosexuality." In the Maybelline advert, one of the promoters is a famous homosexual man. It demonstrates how everyone is becom...
