What different effects does Charlie Brooker say repeated visions of middle class life style is having on British people?
- Makes viewers aspire to the glamorous lifestyles that are seen over the television. That are made to seem possible however in reality these are very difficult things to achieve.
- Programs about successful families and business people spending on luxurious houses and cars etc have lead to people becoming indebted as they think that material wealth is what they want.
- The rich lifestyle of people on TV such as "My Sweet 16" have become so accustomed to the disposable income. That they become "spoiled" and unappreciative to even a 67,000 pound car for there birthday.
- Young people are being brought up in a world where they expect to be treated like stars. With children programs like Hannah Montana, for example, young girls are bred into the belief they can become beautiful singers and live happily ever after.
