TV Drama: Exploration of Representations

How are Gender, Age and Ethnicity represented in the media, with specific reference to Television Drama?

To answer this question effectively you need to research the following for each area of representation:
  • What type of individual characters might be stereotypical of this area?
  • What type of groups of people might be stereotypical of this area?
  • What type of events/plot lines may occur stereotypically when focused on this area?
  • What type of places may sterotypically be be used for setting?
  • How are the stereotypes of this area of representation subverted ie go against what youwould expect?
  • How does the genre of the programme affect how these areas are represented?
