Walk and Talk Mock
One way television programmes reflect social and cultural contexts is by Class which reverses the stereotypes of teenagers often being rebellious and adults being the more wiser ones and instead presents teenagers as the wiser ones and adults as rebellious. It also presents women as heroic and risk takers. This is shown by April who originally is a really smart person and a bit nerdy gets into a relationship with Ram a (jock) but doesn't realise she is sharing a heart with Corakinus a (cold hearted villain) and gets controlled by him in order for him to retrieve all of his heart killing April.Things are usually fine until Aprils dad comes back and tells her mum she is in trouble,April then falls down and her eyes begin to glow orange.She is then controlled by Corakinus and rages at her dad almost killing him but is saved by Ram,she then spares her dads life showing she is sympathetic and restore her mums walking ability and goes to fight Corakinus on her own showing she is heroic.The effect on the audience is showing women in a heroic role and how most teenagers aren't rebellious.
One way television programmes reflect social and cultural contexts is by Doctor Who which subverts stereotypes of teenagers and presents them as intelligent and knowledgeable instead of adults being apart of that category.This is shown by Susan Foreman a 15 year old girl who is typically socially awkward and 'unearthly' is shown as a really smart person is the granddaughter of the main character Doctor Who together they travel around the world in the TARDIS which stands for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space.The effect on the audience doesn't show much diversity and has a white cast which little to no diversity.It also presents young adults and women as really smart and knowledgeable.
