What different effects does Charlie Brooker say repeated visions of middle class lifestyle is having on british people?

  • everyone expects the best because of competitive nature of tv - As television becomes more modern and glamorized the industry becomes more and more competitive therefore creating more glamorized television raising everyones expectations of every day life
  • The public want to to be as glamorous as people on tv, however tv isn't real, and real life isn't perfect.The public now see what they see on tv to be the norm, and there for expect there lives to be glamorous e.g. My sweet 16 - Teenagers expect their parties to be as over the top as theirs as they see middle class celebrating in style a couple of days a week, therefore it becomes a normality in their lives.Not only does it effect the audience but it affects middle class as the sweet 16s become less and less grateful for their wealth and expect everything to be perfect.
  • People are treated how they are portrayed on television - e.g. Ian Beale isn't in the public eye, because he isn't a glamorous person yet he is one of most well known soap characters on tv, and has achieved more than people such as Katie Price.
