Classwork 6th October 2010

The question that I chose was: An exploration of how the media the media represents dieting within the 21st century.
Within the class we sat on different tables are were asked to complete different activities on everyone elses work.
Carousal 1 was to re arrange the question therefore write the question again in different words moreover to give an idea of that would be useful for the person.
1: An investigation of how the media represents women aged between 16-20 dieting with the 21st century.
This helped me because it gave me an idea of how to rearrange the question and how to approach the question in a variety of ways.
Analyse in depth and analyse different gender and age groups.
2. Media texts: Shown in magazines (celebrities), thinking about moral panic, idea of over exaggerated, have different media platforms, magazines reviews, TV programmes: USA, UK: fat camp, having different platforms to expand on your ideas, using a relationship between two programmes can show a strong argument of how two different programs represent themselves, size 0 models: the new idea of bigger women is that showing people are overcoming the ideas/needs to be skinny, colleen Rooney's show.
Social: Idea of social context sour rounding: relate to teenagers and self fulfilling prophecies.
3. S.H.E.P. Historical: When did size 0 come about?
What influenced it and why did it become such a major craze?
Social: Does social background have an impact on how much of a necessity is to a person?
Female vs male: why females feel the need to diet more then men.
Age variations: which age group does dieting more?
4. Theory: Feminist and patriarchal view.
This activity helped me to broaden my own ideas because the ideas that other people gave me were quite specific and helped me to think about critical debates and SHEP.
Economical: Does economic state have anything to do with dieting levels?
