Media representation rarely challenge the dominant value of society nor do they give a voice to those with little power. To what extent is this true for the group or place you have studied? why?

Black people were challenged in the society in the 1900s. Black hollywood is stereotyped negatively in the society. They are usually not given a voice to those with little power, however this is changing. e.g Will Smith, he is known well in the US. Hegemony favor those with power at the expense of those without. The first black character seen on screen were white actor in ‘blackface’. Negative black representation in film reached its height in 1915. It could be said that black hollywood challenged the dominant value of society and they did not give a voice to those with little power.

There are many stereotypes attached to Black hollywood, such as ‘The Tom- the good negro, ‘The coon’, ‘The Tragic Mulatto’, ‘The Mammy’, ‘The Brutal Black Buck’. The film Crash (2004) directed by Paul Haggis shows a scene where two black men Chris (Ludacris also known as a black rapper and songwriter) and Peter (Larenza) discuss the stereotypical view of black people within the American society. They comment on not getting a coffee when they didn’t want one in the first place. The audience may start to emphasis with the two character and think they are the good negro, they start to feel sorry for them , however this changes in the next scene when a white couple come walking from their car, peter say “she gets cold as soon as she sees us do we look threatening?, no if anyone should be scared it should be us” he ask a rhetorical question and answer his own question showing that he is sure that they are not threatening. This also connotes that the situation is flipped all because the area that they are in is dominated by white people and they are the only two black people around. “coz we got a gun” they may suggest that they are not intellectual and that they are carrying a gun for safety, however they conform to the stereotypes which they are tying to justify. They threaten the white couple and ‘carjack’ and this then prove they woman point when she got close to her husband and that she was scared, her thought confirm the two black men’s action. Cohen suggested that the term moral panic in the film were often imitated, and this could cause a decline in society.

Black hollywood film has many ways of expressing their emotion and feeling, they are represented in different ways and seen to be different, this is because of society expectation and the individuals values and beliefs, film may suggest that that they are dominant.

1. Compare and contrast the two texts with reference to the representation of conflict? (8marks)

* The two text are represented by military conflict, one of which had an advertisement showing that you can buy military product. This connotes that you can buy the gear and join. On the same website there was entertainment side where you can play games and have pleasure in playing. There was also a social networking which you can add to talk or became a friend to. There was video to witness the killing and abuse, this may been to get people to empathise and get more men to join.
This website is mainly targeted to men than women. Whereas the trailer (Battle LA) is also targeted to women, I think this because not only men like to see action movies but mainly targeted to men. The website can be used worldwide; anyone can use it and watch the aggressive movie whereas in the trailer it says PG13 but a thirty year old won't watch it.
The products that they are advertising are for men, such as violent games and military clothing. There are also dating, and loans for men to look at, whereas the trailer it was showing the violence and action. It was an invasion by the aliens. One of the text does have amateur photography while the other has amateur video and it has videos from the CNN which is an American news is told.
The representative of the Battle LA trailer is the military clothing of the character in the movie and the weapons that they use and the military vehicle and the explosions that happen.

2. Explore the views that the entertainment media feeds upon moral panic in the west as a result of terrorism post 9/11?

*The entertainment does feed upon moral panic in the west as a result of terrorism post 9/11. The terrorism of 9/11 was particularly shocking because it was a turning point in U.S. history. It was the first foreign attack on the continental United States territory, including the adjacent territorial waters, located within North America between Canada and Mexico. Also called CONUS. ..... Click the link for more information. since the War of 1812. And it killed so many people using a surprise weapon: hijacked airplanes as suicide bombs. Moral panic in the west influences terrorism because of the successive of destroying the twin tower in America so people think that is easy to do this again.
