Old Tv and Films showing collective identity

 TV

- Coronation Street - The early episodes of Coronation Street are examples of collective identity. You see many different groups in Coronation Street, such workers, adults, friends and families. You see how different families are living, such as the Barlow's. In the early Coronation Streets there isn't many young characters. The man youngest character is Ken Barlow, who is a very intelligent male. This maybe showing that typical higher income families are well educated.

Coronation street today has a lot more collective identities.  There is a lot more teenagers, low income families, and different friendship groups, such as the 'underworld workers' who always want to go to the pub for a drink at lunch times and after work. 

Coronation Street in the 1970's and Coronation Street today could be prepared to see if collective identity today is shown in the same way as it was in the 1970s. 

 

-Are You Being Served? - This TV series from 1970s shows the stereotype of British class system. It is filmed in a ladies and gents clothing department of Grace Brothers, which is located in London.

FILM

- Alfie - this is a good example of colletive identity as it shows a character who is always chasing after women and trying to get them into bed. He has a 'desire for the opposite sex'. This could collective identity of a middled aged male, and might show the 'typical' male thinking. Alfie has a charm that attracts the ladies, and he can't keeps his eyes on only one women for a long time, even though he does try. This might show to us that most young men are like this and need women in thier life to satisfy them, but maybe can't stick to just one women in thier lives.
