T/E/A

Terminology - The essay refers to representations of media of a nuclear family very well, however it is only applied to 2 Theorists, Marxist and Althusser. Because of this they will have lost marks as they are supposed to apply it to atleast 3 of the theories. They compare an ideological and superficial families in media and how they are represented, Also they talk about the representation of society e.g. capitalist and patriarchal society.

Examples - Family being shown in the 1959 Cirnflakes advert and the 1960's Fairy Liquid advert.
Both show the traditional nuvlear family. This representation is also apparent in films such as the 1970s film Halloween. This film has a monstrous killer who was raised in a dysfunctional family.
