This document discusses a study on international students' perceptions of race, language, culture and discrimination in the United States. It finds that many students came with negative views of Americans' knowledge and opinions of their home countries and cultures, which often changed positively after studying in the US.

This document provides an overview of the history and models of public service broadcasting and commercial broadcasting in the UK. It discusses the founding of the BBC in 1922 based on John Reith's principle that broadcasting should be protected from commercial pressures and serve the whole community.

Sky Television launched in 1998 as the first commercial subscription service not bound by a public service remit. Students are then asked to debate the advantages and disadvantages of the two models and consider whether the UK should keep the television license fee.
Here are 2 PEE paragraphs comparing stock characters in Sherlock and Life on Mars:
Point: Both Sherlock and Life on Mars feature the stock character of the maverick detective. In Sherlock, Benedict Cumberbatch plays Sherlock Holmes, a brilliant but socially awkward detective who solves crimes using unconventional methods.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

How to Setup Default Value for a Field in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, we can set a default value for a field during the creation of a record for a model. We have many methods in odoo for setting a default value to the field.
2. The question
■ Discuss the ways in which the extract constructs the representation of ……………….. Using
the following:
■ Camera shots, angles, movement and composition
■ Editing
■ Sound
■ Mise en scene
■ (50 marks)
■ What are the representations that you could be asked about? List them.
3. Class and Status
■ The representation of people from different classes has changed massively over the years. Up until
the 1950’s, the upper classes were the class mainly shown on tv and in film. This is because they were
some of the only people able to afford to go to the cinema and own a television. As more and more
people from working class background watchTV, more and moreTV programmes feature working
class characters.
■ Having said that, there are still some stereotypes associated with different classes:
■ Upper Classes (eg Made in Chelsea) – often shown as rich, clever, snobby, very posh
■ Middle Classes (eg My Family)– often shown as “normal”, good family values, well behaved
■ Working Classes (eg Coronation Street) – often shown as poorer, less happy, less intelligent, but with
strong community links
■ Lower / Under Classes (eg Shameless) – often shown as being criminals, no family values, no
community links, bad parents etc
4. Key things to think about if this comes
up in the exam:
■ Can I identify what class characters are?
■ Are people from different classes shown as having different interests, personalities,
attitudes, behaviours? If so, how?
■ Is their class represented as being important in their life?
■ Are people from particular classes portrayed as being better, more powerful, than others?
■ Are people from particular classes portrayed as being abnormal /weaker/ more pathetic
than others?
■ How do other characters in the clip treat the characters from different classes?
■ What is the message the clip is trying to portray about class?
5. Gender
■ Gender Identity refers to whether the characters are men or women. It could also
include transgender, transvestite, and androgynous characters.
6. Stereotypes
■ Male Stereotypes
■ Traditional masculine man – often shown as being muscly, strong, brave, heterosexual, working in
manual jobs such as building, plumbing etc. They are often aggressive, tall, and dominant over
women, works to provide for family, does no cleaning, cooking or childcare
■ New Man – Often shown as being less masculine but still heterosexual, very peaceful, looks after the
family, stays at home to look after family, does cleaning and cooking etc, shown as equal to women
■ Gay Man – Often shown as being very feminine, weak, working in jobs such as fashion or hairdressing,
bitchy, etc
■ Female stereotypes

8. Ethnicity
■ The representation of people from different ethnicities has changed massively over the years. This is
probably because the population in Britain has become much more diverse recently and current
society is much more used to mixing with people from all different cultures and backgrounds.
■ Here are some examples of very negative generic stereotypes that used to be seen (and in some case
still are) in film and tv:
■ White people – often shown as good, pure, heroes, strong, or sometimes racist
■ Black people – often shown as exotic, strange, tribal, criminal, poor
■ Asian people (Chinese, Korean etc) – often shown mainly as intelligent, submissive (quiet and shy),
nerdy, interested in technology
■ Indian people – often shown as being poor, living in large families, very traditional, working in corner
shops

■ Irish – often shown as living in the countryside, working in rural areas such as farms, being very religious, being good at

■ English – often shown as being racist, obsessed with beer and football living in London. Sometimes the stereotype goes in
the opposite direction of showing English people as very rich, posh, happy, living in castles and being very “royal.”
■ London –There are 2 main stereotypes of Londoners. One is that they are often shown as being rich, posh, snobby, upper
class, Hugh Grant types from central or west london. The other is that they often shown as being from north, east or south
London, poor, common, lower class, criminalistic, violent “Kidulthood” style

■ Sexuality tends to still be represented in terms of stereotypical characters. For
example:
■ Gay Men – camp, feminine, funny, outrageous OR very attractive, and sleep
around
■ LesbianWomen – Butch, manly, blunt, man haters
■ Despite changing equality laws and a wider acceptance of different sexualities within
much of society,TV has always remained quite conservative as they are scared of
offending their viewers. Heterosexual (straight) characters are represented as the
“norm” and homosexual (gay) characters are often represented as being different,
strange, or separate from mainstream society.

■ Don’t forget that “straight” is a sexuality too. Don’t ignore the straight characters as they
need to be analysed too!
16. Ability/ Disability
■ Disability tends to be represented in regards to stereotypes. E.G.
■ PHYSICALLY DIABLED/ DISFIGURED (outsiders/ unable to do normal things)

■ ABLE BODIES/ MINDED (normal/ ideal)
17. Key things to think about if this comes

behaviours from people who don’t have disabilities? If so, how?

powerful? If so, how?
■ Are people with disabilities represented stereotypically as being abnormal /weak/ pathetic?
If so, how?
