The typical target audience for soap operas like EastEnders and Emmerdale is ages 15-80, with a focus on working class viewers. Soap operas primarily target females since the stories focus on domestic life and strong female characters. Viewers from lower socioeconomic backgrounds are more likely to watch as they can relate to the situations portrayed, such as financial problems or gang violence. Common reasons for watching include identifying with characters, feeling connected to characters, and escaping from one's own problems.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. Stereotypical Target Audience
• Hartley’s 7 Subjectivities - The typical age group who watch soap operas would be between 15-80 Age as EastEnders has been aired for
31 years so it has been introduced to many generations over the years. The characters are of similar ages so the viewers can relate to
people of their ages also some viewers like to watch episodes where original characters come back from previous years so the older
generation begin to watch the show again.
• The typical gender who watch soaps is either male or female but mostly female because Rebecca Feassey (2007) stated that ‘soap operas
focus on the home, family, domestic tribulations and strong women and it has said to appeal to the female viewer’. Also most people
watching EastEnders are working class a lot of working class women do not work, they work domestically at the home so they enjoy sitting
down at the end of the day watching a soap opera they can relate to. Viewers of EastEnders will be various ethnicities as there are
multiple ethnic characters in EastEnders but they are mainly white characters so more white people are more likely going t watch it.
• Psychographics – I think people from lower class backgrounds and people in education ‘Aspirers’ would watch this soap as they would easily be
able to relate to some of the situations shown on the soap operas for example gangs and violence, but there is also good situations that people
can relate to as well for example hobbies, professions and going to church. Furthermore it is not only lower class people watch it some people
enjoy watching drama TV series. However some younger viewers might get idea from watching this soap for example not going to school and
drinking maybe if they come from a poor family structure or are easily influenced by other peoples actions.
• Also as EastEnders a very old soap so ‘Resigned’ typically old people may watch the soap as the have watched it in past since a younger age.
• Socio-Economic Needs –The more dominant social group who watch EastEnders would be between the category
of C1-E mainly because the characters regularly shown on the show are between the lower and working class
group because of this lower class and working class people are interested in watching this program because they
can relate to the program and could be in a similar situation themselves. For example kids may get bullied so cant
relate to it. “you stand up to bullies and they will run every time ”
• Because producers know some people would have or are dealing with the same issue they offer support and a
helpline for viewers which is shown at the end of the episode.
• To represent lower class characters from working class backgrounds high camera angles are used to make
characters look less worthy than other characters.
3. • Katz’ Uses & Gratifications theory –
• ‘Personal Identification’ some of the audience may be able to relate to a similar situation a character is for example
marriage problems, domestic abuse or mental issues. For example on BBC one site it has help lines if viewers have been
touched by a story.
• ‘Personal relationships’ some viewers will feel like they bond with the characters they watch on a regular basis and can
talk to other people about it.
• ‘Diversion’ the viewers may want to escape their every day and watch something bad so their life doesn't seem as bad as
the characters life.
• Maslow's hierarchy of needs-
• ‘Caregivers’ will watch EastEnders because the viewers will easily be able to empathize with the characters going
through difficult or sad situations.
• ‘Survivors’ will watch EastEnders because they want the security and routine of watching the programs and can
make sure the characters problems eventually get resolved.
• The typical target audience who would watch East Enders are : are a family of
mixed ages and genders but it is more directed for an older working class
audience EastEnders is aired 4 times a week on BBC One at 7:30/8:00 so they
don’t clash with other popular soap operas. By doing this it means it is allowing as
many people as possible to watch there soap in-between various other soaps.
EastEnders is shown before the watershed at 9pm because there is no offensive
scenes or language used in soap operas at this times as it is not allowed. However
on their website they have many social media inks which suggests they are trying
to target a younger audience.
4. • Hartley’s 7 Subjectivities -The typical age group who watch soap operas would be between the age 15-70 as the characters ages vary so there
is a variety of ages who watch Emmerdale. The characters are of similar ages to the viewers can relate to people of their ages also some viewers
like to watch characters the same ages as them. The typical gender who watch soaps is either male or female but men may take more of an
interest in Emmerdale because they are in the country side and it is based in farms at some point and men stereotypically more likely to be
farmers then females. Viewers of Emmerdale will be various ethnicities as there are multiple ethnic characters in Emmerdale but they are mainly
white characters so more white people are more likely going t watch it. Emmerdale is filmed in Yorkshire so people who are from that region will
be more interested in watching the program.
Stereotypical Target Audience
Psychographics –I think ‘mainstreamers’ who seek security, who tend to be domestic, conformist, conventional and sentimental and also
strugglers who seek escape and have few resources and buy alcohol junk food and lottery tickets which is associated with typically lower
demographics. For example people may get into bad situations such as being an alcoholic as some younger viewers might get ideas from watching
this soap for example of drinking or not going to school.
Socio-Economic Needs –The more dominant social group who watch Emmerdale would be between
the category of C1- E mainly because the characters regularly shown on the program are between the
working class and middle class because of this working class and middle class people are interested in
watching this program because they can relate to the program and could be in a similar situation
themselves. For example a character is suffering from dementia and show the struggle of it. The
character is scared but has to be told “its laurel your wife she will keep you safe” as he can no longer
remember her. During this scene there was very low key lighting signifying he is sad , slow motion effects
where also used to connote his confusion.During the filming of Emmerdale I have noticed a lot of cose
up shots are filmed to show expression/emotion on actors faces ,so audiences are able to understand
how they are feeling.
I think people from lower class or middle class backgrounds and people in education ‘Explorers’ would watch this program as they would easily be
able to relate to some of the situations for example running your own business, owning a farm.
5. The typical target audience who would watch Emmerdale are:
Emmerdale is aired almost everyday or twice a day on ITV at 7:00/8:00/8:30 so they don’t clash with
other popular soap operas. By doing this it means it is allowing as many people as possible to watch
there soap in-between various other soaps. Emmerdale is also exhibited before the watershed at 9pm
because there is no offensive scenes or language used in soap operas.
On the ITV website it specifies there target audience to be female, broad and housewives with children,
so they will make the soap operas appeal to many people but mainly females who don’t work and have
children.
Maslow's hierarchy of needs-
‘Caregivers’ will watch Emmerdale because the viewers will easily be able to empathize with the characters going through
difficult or sad situations featured on the episodes.
‘Survivors’ will watch Emmerdale because they want the security and routine of watching the programs and can make sure
the characters problems eventually get resolved.
Katz’ Uses & Gratifications theory –
‘Personal Identification’ some of the audience may be able to relate to a similar situation a character is for
example murders, marriage problems and money problems.
‘Personal relationships’ - some viewers will feel like they bond with the characters they watch on a regular basis,
‘Diversion’ the viewers may want to escape their every day life and watch something bad so their life doesn't seem
as bad as the characters life.
