1. TV Drama- Stereotypes

2. Gender
• The typical connotations of
gender normally centre on
women being either one of
two extremes: extremely
extremely feminine and soft
natured or fierce with
sexual undertones. This is
shown between Kate Moss
and Rihanna. These are
both negative
representations.

3. Age
• Age in the media is represented both negatively and
positively on both ends of the spectrum.
• People like Simon Cowell, are shown in a good light
when he for example funds charity singles but then
negatively when you think of how much power he has
over people.
• On the other end of the spectrum would be Willow
Smith who is presented positivley as a talented child of
a talented actor. The negative connotations come in
where some may view young stars as spoilt or fake.
• An example of age representations in TV drama would
be My Familly that shows on GOLD or Waterloo Road on
BBC.

4. Ethnicity and Sexuality
A good example of sex and
ethnicity on TV is Modern Familly
that shows on SKY1.
Thee gay couple are represented
in a comical manner and the
foreign step mum is represented
both negatively and positively.
Positively in the way that she is
shown as a good wife and mother,
getting along well with all her step
children but negatively as she may
be viewed as a woman who
married an older man for his
wealth.
