Theorist

Ting Toomey's idea of identity negotation is relevant with the movie 'Fish Tank' . All the characters on the London estate were born into a metaphorical fishtank, were they grow up with the society they are born within. Their identities as humans have been negotiated because of the society they are in. Many of the characters on the estate all have a consistent set of behaviors.

Emile Durkheim :

Fish tank society of people all have shared similar negative beliefs towards society. For example many of the characters have negative opinions on education and work. Fish tank society is more laidback and free which is ironic because in reality they are not free stuck in thier estate looking out open society.

Althusser:

Interpolation is extremely prominant within lower class society. The media does not portray Londons estates as postive but negative. Somewhere full of violence , sex and broken morals. The media has almost created a certain 'packaging' around single parents , low income families and job seekers, portraying them as an isolated community. Fish tank propagates this showing a typical stereotypical.
