  Part 1: BBC Question Time analysis Watch this clip from BBC Question Time with Russell Brand and Nigel Farage. The BBC deliberately placed the two against each other and the episode resulted in far more people than usual watching and reacting on social media. 1) What examples of  binary opposition  can you suggest from watching this clip?

  1) What examples are provided from the two texts of the 'male gaze' (Mulvey)?  Pan Am and Beyonce.  2) Do texts such as these show there is no longer a need for feminism or are they simply sexism in a different form? Texts such as these show that there is a no longer a need for feminism due to the representation of women being independent and working in jobs that are aspirational to some of their audiences however, these texts are mainly sexism in a different form as in Pan Am we still see the sexualisation and reinforcement of the male gaze. 3) Choose three words/phrases from the glossary of the article and write their definitions on your blog. Patriarchy- man have all the power in the society Nostalgia- a feeling of the past that you would like to relive/re feel Feminism- a moment of where women strives for equality and right.

1) Type up your feedback in  full  (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep this confidential). WWW- Q4 shows real engagement with a range of theories and Andrew Tate is a very good example to use to discuss this. Now we need to add some exam technique to push towards the top level.  2) Read  the mark scheme for this assessment carefully . Identify at least  one  potential point that you missed out on for each question in the assessment.

Q2- Diversification means companies can embrace new technology and find new revenue streams e.g. music industry and streaming Q3-Funding model is outdated in the digital age – licence fee of £147 a year for all BBC (and some C4) content isn’t realistic. Young people are increasingly cho...
