Representation and Political Ideology

Source A

Source B


To what extent do the elements of media language used in Sources A and B convey different values, attitudes and beliefs about the world?

In your answer you must:
    • Analyse the ways in which media language has been used in combination in sources A and B to convey values, attitudes and beliefs about the world
    • Refer to relevant contexts and academic ideas and arguments in your analysis
    • Draw judgements and conclusions in relation to the question

We see Two newspapers that have the story of the past migrant crisis in the UK.

The daily mail and the guardian both have interesting views on the migrant crisis with the mail using, almost attacking Cameron for linking them as insects, and we also see this in the main headline "The swarm in our streets" this links them too bees as they are usually associated with the term swarm, and the readers will feel like the mail (being right wing and are in support in brexit although this was before brexit), are also attacking on the migrants.

 the guardian, being a more socialist paper uses words like shocking and cruel which could have many interpretations but linking back to them being a socialist paper we interpret that they feel for the migrants as they would have had a long and hard journey to get to the UK in the first place.

 in conclusion we see that both paper have had their say on the migrant crisis in the uk. the guardian have been more thoughtful perhaps and have focused on this poor people in their eyes and this is expected from the left wing paper as they tend to be more of a social paper and have clearly thought of the welfare of these people. however the daily mail have linked this more with politics and as the conservatives were in charge back then they use Camerons words although he is right wing in many people thoughts, they seem to care do the daily mail but not as much as the guardian and this tells us, Do they really care?

representation the representation of Lester is seen in the clip as he is presented as a sad, self indulgent man who is clearly depressed and this is shown by how he dresses which we will come across later. he says that his high point comes when he is in the shower and this clearly shows that he is depressed and he has no leadership over his family Caroline= a cold and cruel woman you could say and clearly she is depressed to and this theme runs across the family, she tries to be the leader however clearly she is struggling too just like Lester janey= once again a dark character who is struggling with her teenage years, has the power over her father and we see this when she is able to sit in the front of the car, she also mocks him and she is the one that is lighted up when the family who used to be happy once and we see this in pictures, she is lighted up when its dinner and like Lester she is not generous of her mums work. the boy= he is videoing the father and daughter and

Teenagers

This image shows a young and vulnerable teenager who had just experienced a near death experience and she was determined to sit her gcse exam the following morning.  Any member of the public will be shell shocked at what just happened however this girl still sat her gcses. This shows bravery and desire and this perhaps could be the message that the mail online website is trying to share that teenagers are not bad or lazy, they want to put these people in a clear bright light. The word brave has been used to show the bravery of the teens that we have today. I agree with this because teenagers do make the choice that suits them and they should have that choice.   This is a more negative story and it tells of a murder which immediately tells us that this article represents teenagers in a bad way. A martial arts fighter has been murdered and these three people are accused including a sixteen-year-old girl who had apparently been led to commit this murder by their friends wh
