The essay we had to read has been given a level 3 in terminology. The reason for this is because he mentioned 3 different theories and terminologies. These are Marxist theories Althussar and Geraghty and Butler theory.
We found that in the essay example was commonly used helping explain and explore his/her points. There was a sufficient amount of example to award it a level 3/4.

Shameless
1. Should images in your case study be censored - If so why!?
Shameless has had scenes encouraging drug use explicit images of pills being taken at the pub in everyday life. This politically incorrect lifestyle isn't portrayed in a negative way very often. Drug taking is often portrayed with having a good time including alcohol consumption and fighting.
2. If you think your case study can have a negative effect on collective groups, Could it have a positive effect?
Although drugs and alcohol consumption isn't portrayed in a negative fashion on the whole the lifestyle of the residents included in Shameless isn't one where we would look up to or aspire to be like. In the sense it could give the impression to steer clear of crime, drugs, etc, etc. People being put away in jail for committing crimes also creates awareness of the consequences of doing such things.
3. Do you agree that your case study could influence someone's behavior?
Yes I agree in the way that drug taking is included in the program in such a 'day to day' way. this may influence others that this isn't such a big deal as these people don't think of the consequences and consequences arent always shown as a direct impact on the person.

Fish tank
Is Connor a father figure to Mia?
I think for most of the film Connor acts as a father figure. As she looks up to him as an authoritative figure around the house. She doesn't want to let him get close as we get the impression that there have been men in and out of the family. However there are times when she let him get close, a certain warmth towards him. He encourages her to pursue her one interest, dancing. This is a typical fatherly quality that the family lacked due to the mother having a bad attitude to her children, due to unknown reasons.
Do your decisions from the article changed after seeing the film?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_Tank_%28film%29
I think the article is close to the film however certain aspects you cant get from the article such as the understanding of why she is like she is (Mia). Her bringing up was clearly a struggle with her mum regretting she ever had her. Knowing she isn't wanted in the house she wonders around the streets not knowing the wrongs and rights. Mixing with the wrong people and falling out with her friendship group.
What does the film say about British families?
The film portrays British families as lower-class and parenting responsibilities at an all time low. With no real authoritative figure in the house, the children are left to run their own lives making wrong decisions. The film illustrates a 15 year old girl trespassing in a unused flat, drinking and violence in the street. Giving the impression to other culture that this is typical of a British family.
