1. Are there any cultural or fashion movements taking place in britain now, that you think would be strong enough to form a 'Collective Identity'
Multiculturalism - everyone from every culture uniting against racism.
Students- recent political actions have resulted in riots from students and they have acted as one big collective identity to try and influence the government.
Lady GaGa- dressing very radically she tries to bring in new trends in fashion that will eventually catch on.
2. Argue ways that you could relate each theorist to one of our case study texts..
Ting-Toomey - 'An Education' The main character girl conforms to the lifestyle of David and his friends as they influence her to do so.
Emile Durkheim - 'Passport to Pimlico' When they are classed as burgundians they stick together and work together to try an d make their community work because they have their shared beliefs.
Althusser - 'Fish Tank' the way that youths are represented in this film can influence the way that elder people think youths are and how they act now.
Marcuse - 'Ashes to Ashes' All the men in this tv show conform to a stereotypical idea of what a male police officer would be like. e.g driving the car fast and being discriminative and sexist towards Alex Drake.
Judith Butler - 'An Education' Her personality changes around her school mates, teachers and at home to when she is with David and his friends
David Gauntlett - 'Fish Tank' people should be able to realise that whilst there are people like the ones represented in the films however not all youths are like that.
