Gender Representation T1

Gender Representation T1

1. I think the main reasons for the lack of equality in video game characters, is the the dominant ideology that says girls don't play games, but boys do. When girls do come in to video games, just like films, the characters are very feminized. Their character traits are stereotypical women roles. The games seem to be aimed at their largely male target audience, therefore they want their characters they can identify with, ie males.

Dominant Ideology Task 4

1. 

The dictionary definition of Capitalism : An economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.

The dictionary definition of socialism : A political and economic theory of social organisation which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.

The dictionary definition of Communism : A theory or system of social organisation in which all property is owned by the community and each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs.

2. The main principals of  Capitalism are that the economy's main purpose is to generate profit and that there are no limits to growth and wealth accumulation so the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Dominant Ideology Task 3

1. News paper headlines circulating through society have a big influence on peoples views, the headline "Vile product of welfare UK" reinforces the dominant ideology that people should work for a living and not be on benefits. The media, via different news papers for example, 

speaks to the masses, and influences their view on dominant ideology's.

Dominant Ideology's Task 2

2. Its expected that every one should own a mobile phone.

2a. Nobody should have to be available all the time if they don't want to.

2b. It is a difficult thing to challenge because currently society expects that you are answerable 24 hours a day for work, family and social networks. Eg, people without mobile phones could be penalised in the work place.
